Purpose: Among the fundamental components of Islamic mysticism is the examination and analysis of mystics' perspectives on the relationship between Sharia (religious law), Tariqa (the mystical path), and Haqiqa (truth/reality) throughout the course of spiritual wayfaring. Most Sufis have considered Sharia, Tariqa, and Haqiqa as three dimensions of a single reality. However, some deviant currents claiming mysticism have presented an unacceptable face of Sufism by disregarding the rulings of Sharia. In-depth familiarity with the intellectual foundations of each mystic regarding Sharia, Tariqa, Haqiqa, and the nature of their connection and interaction in the perfective journey of mysticism provides the possibility of a deeper, more precise, and more systematic understanding of mystical texts.
Method and Research: The present research, employing a descriptive-analytical approach, while reviewing and explicating the diverse beliefs of mystics concerning the relationship among these three pillars, analyzes Hujwiri's multidimensional perspective in this domain in order to reveal the lesser-known dimensions of his epistemological thought.
Findings and Conclusions: Examination of the text of Kashf al-Mahjub demonstrates that Hujwiri, relying on the epistemological and spiritual foundations of Junayd al-Baghdadi's school, has explicated the connection among the three essential realms of Islamic mysticism: Sharia, Tariqa, and Haqiqa. In his intellectual system, these stages are completely intertwined, and attaining the pinnacle of humanity depends upon commitment to them and bringing them into alignment with one another. Moreover, these three pillars constitute stages of attaining a single reality that extends from religious obligation to divine knowledge.
