Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The subject of the perfect man is one of the most important topics in Islamic Sufism, so much so that it can be said that the axis of all beliefs and principles of Islamic mysticism is summarized in this issue. Almost all mystics and Sufis have spoken about this subject, but Rumi has given more importance to this issue and especially in Masnavi and Divan Shams he has repeated it with more branches and depth. As it can be concluded, one of the most important pillars of Rumi"s worldview and thinking is the theory of the perfect man. The present study aims to answer the main question of what commonalities and differences the image of a perfect human being has in these two works and why.

METHODOLOGY: In this regard, using descriptive-analytical method, all the offices of Masnavi and Divan Ghazaliyat Shams have been examined from this perspective.

FINDINGS: The most widely used rhetorical image in Masnavi and Shams lyric poems in describing the perfect man in the order of the sun and its belongings is the mirror, the shadow of truth, and alchemy and alchemy. The most widely used images are the manifestation of divine attributes in the perfect man and his caliphate, secrecy and secrecy, moral growth and promotion of disciples, and liberation from worldly attachments, respectively.

CONCLUSION: In depicting the perfect man in Masnavi and Ghazals of Shams, Rumi has used elements of natural phenomena, human artifacts, animals and historical figures. Most of this belongs to natural phenomena and then to human artifacts. The most important characteristic of the perfect man in the rhetorical images around him in these two works is his insight and the place of manifestation of divine attributes. Hence, the most important feature and nature of a perfect human being in Rumi"s view are summarized in these two attributes.
