  The World of Images or in away the purgatory is a realm of existence which is the partition between the material world and the intellectual one, and it has been discussed and analyzed from the time of Plato up to now. On the one hand, the said world is similar to the material one, as it has quantity and form, and on the other hand, it is similar to the intellectual one, as there is no material or physical body inside it. The world of images is the vehicle and a place for the advent and formation of imaginations, the imaginations which are to imagine the imaginary forms without any changes in their nature, and it is only possible in the world of images. Imagination is a subject mentioned in the Holy Quran and Hadiths and consequently the mystics have been engaged with it. Ayn-al-Qożāt regards imaginations highly significant, and considers different functions and uses for it. In fact, imagination is an excellent method to know God and the facts of the world of existence. Manuscript profile

  2 - Determinism and Freewill Concept in ‘Iyn al-Quzzāt’s Viewpoint (with an emphasis on Tamhīdāt, Nāmi-hā, Yazdān-shinākht and Lavāyih) Based on Theological and Mystical Approach

  “Determinism and Freewill” along with subjects like: Imamat, good and evil, simile and transcendent and... , of the high frequency concepts in theology, philosophy and Islamic mysticism that were assigned comprehensive research. So, this problematic subject is one of the oldest and the most disputable topics that direct theologians, philosophers and great Islamic mystics’ attention to it over the ages. So, for significance and the extent of “determinism and freewill” and also unknown dimensions of it, the author thies to study ‘Iyn al-Quzzāt’s viewpoint - one of the great Islamic mystics of Khosravani’s school- about “determinism and freewill” from two dimensions: love and theological-philosophical, in mystical Farsi prose texts. This paper also tries to answer this question that in his viewpoint, if the man is in the core of determinism or in the domain of freewill? Outcome of this research show that ‘Iyn al-Quzzāt’s in love believes to absolute amorous- mystical determinism, and in mystical-philosophical viewpoint believes to all three subjects: determinism, freewill and “Amron Bein al-Amrain” (mediocrity, so- so).   Manuscript profile

  Mystical text is an area of psychological exploration that provides a cognition, albeit a small one, of the position of nearness to God; it also reveals the hidden aspects of its author spiritual dimensions and shows how he/she understands his/her Lord and how he/she approaches to God. In Jung’s school of analytical psychology, “the process of individuation” is an unconscious effort to achieve mental development; it explains that human beings can never achieve the full psychological development, but can only achieve individual, comprehensive and inner experiences by recognizing the "superego". Tamhīdāt (The Preludes) a treatise written by Ayn al-Quzat Hamadani, the prominent mystic of the fifth and sixth centuries AH, reflects a psychological development. The purpose of the present study is to investigate this development in the unconscious of the author of Tamhīdāt. The research has been done by descriptive-analytical method. The results indicate that the author, in his magnum opus, unconsciously shows the psychological development using the mystical teachings and exploring the unconscious. The unconscious influence of the archetypes, such as "Christ", "Wise old man" which eventually merge with the archetype of "shadow" and guide to light, is evident in the book; Ayn al-Quzat tries to achieve the process of individuation and to reach "the superego" in a pure and original way.     Manuscript profile

  4 - The Mystical Interpretation of Qor’ānic verses in Tamhīdāt
  Narjes Khātoon Mirzāee Leilā Nouroozpour

  In Tamhīdāt, (Preludes) written by Ayn-al-Quzāt Hamadānī, many Qor’ānic verses have been quoted. Some of these verses have widely been cited. Due to his familiarity with Qor’ān and deep reflection on its verses, Ayn-al-Quzāt presents unique and brilliant interpretations of the Holy Qor’ān. The present research seeks to answer the question: What methods of interpretation have been used in Tamhīdāt? The results show that Ayn-al-Quzāt gets from expression to meaning by using these methods: interpretation based on homonymy; metaphorical interpretation of the Qor’ānic expressions; finding synonyms in the same semantic field; interpretive cluster, associative interpretation, syllogism by equation, going beyond the historical meaning of a Qor’ānic verse, the interpretation of a verse based on Hadith; and the interpretation based on the mystical concepts. With a descriptive-analytical approach, the present research studies the method of interpretation in Tamhīdāt along citing the examples. Also, in some cases, an interpretation is compared with other mystical interpretations of Ayn-al-Quzāt's contemporaries. Ayn-al-Quzāt uses the mirror allegory in analyzing poems, so it can be said that according to him, Qor’ān, as a text, refers to various worlds reflecting the views of its reader. Manuscript profile

  5 - The Influence of Ayn al-Quzat Hamadani on Mohammad Nassir-a-din Makki Hosseini, Regarding Their Epistemological Views in Tamhīdāt and Bahr al-Maani

  Mohammad Nassir-a-din Makki Hosseini in his book Bahr al-Maani (The Sea of Meanings) pays considerable attention to epistemological issues. The purpose of the present article is to explain his the epistemological views and to examine the influence of Ayn al-Quzat Hamadani's Tamhīdāt on his ideas. This study has been done by using descriptive-analytical method and based on library resources. The findings show that Mohammad Makki not only in content, but also in words and phrases, has been influenced by the epistemological views of Ayn al-Quzat. Both mystics have distinguished between inward knowledge and outward knowledge, and have considered outward knowledge as the divine knowledge that mystics receive it due to their degree of unshakable faith in God. According to both of them, man can attain divine knowledge through self-knowledge and the knowing of the prophet Muhammad; but knowing the divine essence is not possible and one can only know about divine names, attributes and acts. They speak of the existence of an obstacle (hejab) in knowing God and believe that this obstacle will not be completely removed; and for some reasons such as  content, human limitations and religious limitations, the inability of the audience to understand the concepts and the issue of confidentiality, the divine teachings are inexpressible. These topics are covered in more detail in Bahr al-Maani than in Tamhīdāt. Manuscript profile
