Davood Vaseqhi Khondabi (Author in Charge)

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Quranic verses and traditions are considered as the most important principles of Sufi theology; From the very beginning of its existence, the Sufi movement based its worldview foundation on religious texts and by relying on these divine blessings, presented profound and original interpretations of religious propositions and, along with other factors, led to the formation of specific intellectual policy which can be examined in its own way. With his intuitive scientific power, Ghazali also used verses and hadiths to explain his educational and mystical worldview. The aim of this article is to examine the Quranic-narrated worldview of Abu al-Futuh in books such as Savanah al-oshshagh, Al-Tajrid fi Kalma al-Touhid, Resaleh Einieh, … to examine and analyze his views on this matter.

METHODOLOGY: This research was conducted on the basis of library studies and with a descriptive-analytical method, examines and analyzes Ahmad Ghazali"s Quranic-narrative perspective in his Persian works. First, verses and narrations are extracted from Ghazali"s Persian works and then categorized and separated according to topics.

FINDINGS: The research findings reveal that Ahmad Ghazali is one of the pioneers of the path, has been able to create great works in the field of mysticism and Islamic sciences; In these works, he discusses the most fundamental concepts raised in the field of Sufism that his discourse is entirely derived from the teachings of revelation and narrations attributed to religious elders. Ghazali is, however, one of the great theorists of Sufism, he has also been influenced by the discourse of early elders.

CONCLUSION: The results of this research show that he uses religious texts to explain two issues “Love” and “Mystical manners” and has explained many details and subtleties about them. Abul-Futtuh"s view of verses and hadiths is more of a tasteful and intuitive aspect; However, he is also one of the leading scholars of his time, and is proficient in the sciences of tradition and reason, as well as the discourse of Sharia.
