As we know, Rumi's worldview is based on monism; the fact that the nature of the almighty has manifested in various forms in objects and creatures, has made them the overall mirror of the almighty. Because of the impression of Rumi's school of thought on Shabestari, this concept has entered in his mystical ideology as well. This paper tries to make a comparative study on the concept of 'manifestation', one of the basic concepts on the issue of absolute unity. Our major goal at present and in general is the study of the comparative and contrastive ideas of Rumi and Shabestari against the manifestation of the almighty in objects and creatures.

One of the major differences between human being and other creatures including angels is that his mentality and emotions are always evolving and growing in a sense that the essential aspect of character will penetrate into his religious beliefs. Accordingly, his way of praying whose philosophy is summarized in the verse of the Koran as “We created Jinni and other spirits to be praying” has also undergone a revolution in the form and content. In addition to keeping its essence which is worshiping God it is spiraled and engaged so much that through this kind of creature obliged to pray in different forms of life other creatures should find out and make a research on various aspects of different means of praying and spiritual journeys. Now we would like to recognize the means of spiritual journey and internal ways of praying by the Egyptian IbnFarez. He lived in an era that the praying of some devotees had exceeded the normal situation and turned into abstinence and wayward to God during the first century, then to spiritual journey at the outset of the second century, after which by the late third century toward a phenomenon of fatality and revelation and unity, and eventually to the monism or intuition and hidden concepts of that in the seventh century. Therefore, it is endeavored to study and analyze the mystical view of his. After the introduction on training Sufis and the available expressions used in that era, there will be some explanation on his mystical concepts and then the nature of his love and the procedures. In the end, the comments of some researchers on the nature of unity and his views on revelation and monism will be dealt with. Manuscript profile

To achieve the reality of existence and eternity, mankind should be mortal. Man should perish his entity to be able to gain his real self that is nothing but the everlasting Almighty. At this stage, man can not find any trace of himself and whatever is looked upon is only God. There is no desire to be manifested. Mortality is of several kinds but the most significant hierarchy of which includes operational, characteristic, and instinctive kind.

And in the end, he achieves the knowledge which finds out there is no entity to have independence and that everyone is mortal. Manuscript profile

This paper deals with Ibn Arabi’s viewpoint and Allameh Tabatabaei’s perspectives over the language of religion and the comparison of their viewpoints. In mysticism, it is not possible to possess the apparent language of revelation books. Ibn Arabi views the nature of divine language based on which he believes that revelation book is in apparent language. Allameh believes in apparent language and quite contrary to Ibn Arabi, his theory is in the field of the Quran and Islam. In this paper, we would like to extract the fundamental theories of Ibn Arabi and Allameh Tabatabaei in their works. This paper aims at two purposes. First, organizing Ibn Arabi’s and Allameh’s viewpoints in the Quranic language, and then expanding their thinking through presenting new issues over their viewpoints or matching their standpoints on one another.

Zahir Kermani, the Shiite poet and literary man, lived in Kerman during the twelfth century AH. There are four works left by this poet: Masnavi, Golshan Zohour, Majmaul Bahrain, Vameghi and Ezra. His Masnavi was mistakenly mentioned at the introduction of Divan in handwritten copies. It includes 8743 couplets. Most of his couplets form ethical and religious contents. The language is largely simple, fluent, and intelligible. Zahir primarily helps from wisdom to understand and comprehend mystical matters at the stage of recognition. He deems asceticism, hypocrisy, pretension, and sin as an obstacle over the course of sublimity and understanding of humankind, for which her recommends controlling one’s soul as a remover of the obstacle. He believes that realistic individuals refuse hypocrisy. In addition, asceticism is a weapon for controlling soul; and the purity and truthfulness of humankind versus repentance creates a shield against the evolution of human soul. Thereafter, for its evolution the soul goes on a spiritual journey through the wings of love beyond its wisdom. He is the representative of honesty and certainty so that he makes every effort to live in reality and gain the Almighty satisfaction. He is a personage that by means of asceticism assumes God to be watching over his actions even in his loneliness and veil, and when encountered with sensitive situations, he trembles and responds negatively so that this turning away holds a lot of consequences and results. He presumes repentance to be turning back from sin and compensation of wrongdoing. He believes that the one who walks the course of guidance will eventually arrive at destination whereas the one who picks out deviation or aberration will arrive at failure and disgrace.

One of the major subjects in contemporary Arabic poetry is mysticism that has always had a special manifestation among Arabic poets. They have composed beautiful and attractive poems via employing pure mystical ideas. Although in the contemporary era the mystical teachings of ancient poets such as Ibn Arabi will not project, since mysticism is a part of body and soul of the Iranian public and poetry is the best means of sharing internal emotions and ideas of a poet, one can witness some manifestation of these pure ideas in contemporary poetry.

Mirza Abdul-Qader Bidel Dehlavi is a prominent poet of mystical poetry in the subcontinent of India. He has transformed the Indian school of poetry from mere superficiality to the utmost wisdom. Bidel's poetry in realm of mystical lyrics is the continuation of Mawlana Jalalud-din Mohammad Balkhi's line of thought in his Diwan Shams. The purpose of this article is to introduce Bidel in the realm of mystical lyrics. According to Bidel all multiplicities in man's journey towards God leads to unity. In his descent however all multiplicities are regarded as the attributes of Deity which have descended from the zenith of the universal and Absolute to the nadir of the particular and relative. Bidel's mystical lyrics is a spiritual epic which expresses love and yearnings for the Divine beloved. These often merge with a sort of surrealist thinking, thus mystical terms in his Indian style of poetry mostly are complex and implicit, and it is difficult of find an equivalent for them. Nevertheless, his mastery in using prosodic forms and verbal rhymes gives such dynamism and fervor to his lyrics that only reveals the hidden charm and passion within the Ghazals.  Manuscript profile
