Abstract

Najmuddin Razi"s works have created a unique place among the great collection of mysticism and Sufism in two aspects, language and literary and artistic beauties of glorious mystical prose, and on the other hand, the maturity and evolution of mystical prose and its stylistic features. One of the basic characteristics of these works is the vocabulary and key and central terms that shape the thought and its intellectual system. In this research, the question has been answered that the structure of Najmuddin Razi"s intellectual system can be introduced by focusing on which words or epistemological terms? The results of the study of three works by Najmuddin Razi (Mursad al-"Abbad, Asadi"s Mysteries and the Minarets of the Al-Sa"irin) showed that Key terms in epistemology are mystical works. Najmuddin Razi has presented a systematic, coherent and evolved collection of other mystics before him.
