Abstract

Azizeddin ibn Mohammad Nasafi (700 AH), student of SaadedDin Hamuyei, is a famous and great mystic in the seventh century, which has written many prose works in the field of Persian mystical Literature. He familiarized himself with the teachings of the mystical school of Ibn Arabi through Saadeddin Hamuyei and his Works. Nasafi identified all the key concepts of Ibn 'Arabi's theoretical mysticism, such as Vahdate Vojud, Ayane Sabeteh, Haghighate Mohammadieh, Feyze Aghdas, Feyze Moghaddas and Hazarate Khams, with the use of metaphors and Literal Language. He emphasized the concept of perfect man in this key word of Ibn 'Arabi, and used metaphors such as the Majune Akbar, Eksire Azam, Jame Jahannama, Aeeneyeh do giti and GrateTeriaq, Mesre Jame and Balade Azam for the perfect man. In this article, we are going to examine and analyze all the fundamental terms and symbols of Ibn Arabi's school in the works of Nasafi. This research has been done through content analysis And the key elements of Ibn Arabi's mysticism are adapted to the works of Nasafi.
