In the realm of mysticism, art is a kind of spiritual journey in which the artist, heavenly and spiritually inspired, achieves intuition. In fact, the Islamic art and architecture is the manifestation of the almighty revelation on the earth, the delicacy and subtleness of which will take the mystics to the apocalypse and intuition. Traditional historic buildings in the Islamic architecture are emblems of the heaven and manifestation of the divinely tradition in which the skills and delicacies used come in close relation with the spiritual and metaphysical principles. Meticulous attention to the decorations and drawings, as well as the selection of the statements and concepts used in the inscriptions on the Islamic buildings, can make one witness the direct and indirect impact of Islamic mysticism and Sufism over the designs. The abundance of the Koranic verses in the inscriptions and mosques decorations and shrines and Imam Descendents shrines and domes, including Soltaniyeh Dome where every inch is sainted and virtue stricken, could be related to the topic of "citation" and "beads" that are among the major issues of Islamic Sufism and mysticism. In addition, the image or design of a "star" as a symbol of illumination and beauty, the center of which is the word "Allah" and sided by the words Mohammad and Ali demonstrate the spiritual leadership of God and divine leaders within the internal and external direction of Tariqa disciples, which are abundantly seen in the designs and images of the domes decorations, especially Soltaniyeh. The unity between Shari'ah, Tariqa, and reality is one of the major issues of mysticism that are easily seen in some parts of inscriptions and designs of Islamic buildings, including Soltaniyeh, "Allah, Mohammad, Ali" adjacent. Within the decoration, the word "Allah" signifies reality, the word "Mohammad" signifies Shari'ah, and the word "Ali" signifies Tariqa. In addition, the sole use of the grand name of "Allah" exclusively used in inscriptions and decoration of Islamic buildings represents the principle of "monotheism" and mystical monotheism in Islamic Sufism.

As a stubborn entity misleading human being in Abraham related religions, Satan is a significant and questionable subject matter among philosophers, theologians, and mystics. The interpreters have three view points towards Satan. First, it is a genie. Second, it was an angel at first but became a genie. And third, it was an angel. The followers of every one of these standpoints have resorted to a lot of verses and traditions but a closer look reveals that Satan was a genie at first and because of a lot of worshipping had a position among the angels. From mystics point of view there are various standpoints available. Most mystics assume Satan as a symbol of wickedness and a source of seducing human being. However, some of them including Hallaj, Eynolghozat-e- Hamedani, Ahmad Ghazali, etc. defend Satan and believe it as a pure lover of God and a real theist. Hallaj believed that Satan is even more theist than God Himself and proudly wears the clothes of damnation. Despite the defense made against Satan, mystics find fault with its disobedience, pride, spiritual blind, and inability to see behind the surface meaning. In the school of pantheism, Satan and demons and wicked ones are manifestation of the glory characters of the Almighty that are not detached from the will of God. In the end, it is concluded that the purpose of deniers and supporters and worshipers of Satan all refer to monotheistic standpoint of Islam. This paper is prepared in a descriptive and analytical method. Manuscript profile

The incomprehensibility or in another word not to get to the bottom of the subject has caused that everybody analyzes and criticizes it. Historical evolution and lexical development of this word shows that Kharabat has been in fact "Khourabe" in Mithraism that through passing difficult stages the seeker has reached it. After Islam and Gnosticism and Sufism emergence this word manifested in gnostic and literary works by numerous frequencies and it found its way into calender literature so that everybody interpreted it by its own apprehension and unfortunately this word encountered deviation which is different from its special position in Mithraism; and unfortunately it was in general defined as bar and place of pleasure and undiscerning persons thought that purpose of Kharabat is this negative aspect, while such Gnostics as Shabestary, Sanaee, Hafez and so on paid attention to its essence and spoke about a lot.

Other mystics such as Ibn Arabi, Mowlana Jalaleddin Mohammad Balkhi, Seyyed Heydar Amoli, Sheikh Mahmood Shabestari, Lahiji, Abdurrahman Jami, Mirfenderski, and so on also emphasized the necessity of such a universe in mystical journey. It is endeavored in this paper that a summary of the ideas and beliefs of the above scholars to be presented and further details of the parable universe to be analyzed. Mystics slightly differed on the hierarchy of the world of existence; however, all of them admit to an intermediate world of parable world, i.e. limbo. They have divided the parable world into the 'dependent attached world' and 'independent detached world'. Mohyeddin Ibn Arabi, the ancestor of theoretical mysticism, attempted to design the fiction universe after Sohrehvardi and his mystical principle had a great impact on the sublime philosophy.
