Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Two very important issues that have always faced many challenges among experts and researchers in the field of mystical research, is the relationship between reason and love from the perspective of mystics. According to the different definitions and theories about these two God-given forces, which of the two leads man to divine bliss and encounter? Are they superior to each other in this direction? That a mystic poet like Rumi considers the feet of reasoners as wood, or that Attar Neyshabouri considers reason to be a child of the path in the path of God, and often mystics blame the intellect, and on the other hand, the same mystics speak of a gem called love and call it They know that they are capable of reaching God, these are the issues that make it necessary to discuss them.

METHODOLOGY: This research has been written by library information retrieval method and descriptive-analytical-comparative. In the analytical processing section of the subject, first the mystics" views on reason are discussed and in the next section their views on love are analyzed and examined.

FINDINGS: This has been discussed in detail in mystical prose texts. Kashfat al-Mahjoub has dealt with the mystics" differing theories in this regard as carefully as possible, and Qushayriyah"s treatise has devoted a chapter of his book to this subject. Of course, people like Najmuddin Razi, Bah به"u"ll ولh, and Suhrawardi have each written separate treatises on the subject.

CONCLUSION: The authors believe that the intellect has different levels that mystics consider only that part of the partial and subsistence intellect which is sanity, as opposed to love and the spiritual aspect of the intellect that can be related to the active intellect and the background of progress. Provided by the seeker, it has no conflict with love, but is in harmony with the compound of love.
