Abstract :

This paper deals with some basic issues in terms of one of the most important pillars of Seyyed Heydar Amoli’s mystical mind. At first, the motivation of this issue is explained in details by Seyyed Heydar and then the relationship between Shi’ism and Sufism is raised. The most significant achievement in this writing is that Seyyed Heydar is prone to the unity between the two sects of Shi’ism and Sufism. They are in fact one single reality that the perfect man should achieve.
