Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Gnosticism is a blended school and emphasizes on a series of general teachings such as authenticity of dualism and conflict of worldly objects, enlivenment and avoidance of matter, access to the Alevi world through knowledge (GNUS). Islamic mysticism, by combining some Gnostic propositions in the form of Eshraghi monotheism in contrast to numerical monotheism and extreme Sunniism and government, used it to stylize the Text and Islamic beliefs. Ayn al-Qudzat Hamedani, a reckless Iranian-Islamic mystic with knowledge of the Gnostic teachings and influenced by it, and by combining Manichean and Mandaean dialects and mediator thoughts, which in this article refers to neo-Platonic and Hermetic thoughts, sought to create a new reading of the holy text of Muslims with their Gnostics and mediator thoughts.

METHODOLOGY: Our research methodology is based on library data and posteriology analysis based on the works of the old ones.

FINDINGS: The main finding of this study emphasizes on the effect of Gnostic religions and Neo-Platonic and Hermetic philosophies on the Monocelal view and Islamic narratives of Ayn al-Qozzat by preserving its Islamic authenticity.

CONCLUSION: The answer to what new forms have been created in combination with the old intellectual species and the nature of new thoughts, especially in the intellectual system of Ayn al-Qozzat and its Islamic format, is one of the important results of this study.
