Monotheistic-mystic viewpoints of Shaikh-al-Islam Ansari

Abstract

Monotheism is one of the fundamental categories in Islam and Islamic mysticism and has considerably emanated in Persian literature's wooks. The position of this term is highly important in the dimension of traditionary and intuitive knowledge. Although this mystic category has basically emanated in Shaikh-al-Islam Ansari's works, who is one of the well-known characters of literature and mysticism, but the diversity in interpretations has made it be hidden in a halo of vicissitude. Therefore, the specifying of this category seems worthwhile from the Viewpoint of theosophists. This article, prepared analytically-fundamentally, follows the specifying of monotheistic-mystic Viewpoints of Pir-e-Herat (Ansari) and kinds and specifications of monotheism from his Viewpoint. It will respond the followings: what kind of mystic views has Shaikh-al-Islam Ansari had? What are its specifications? How has it mirrored in his works? Although a limited number of scholars, considering the controvertible speeches of Ansari, have conjectured the pantheism, but in a studious veiw, it is cleared that the mystic monotheism of Khaja-e-Ansar has this property which it is based on traditionary and intuitive knowledge and tends intuitionism.
