Abstract :

Love and knowledge have been one of the most important themes of Islamic culture and mystical literature and have had a variety of reflections in the works of the great politicians and mystics. Imam Mohammad Ghazali Tusi, one of the most famous scholars of Islam and Iran in the fifth century, has made good use of it in his works, especially in the al-Qadiyyah of bliss, and has provided new insights. The purpose of this article is to analyze the place of love and knowledge in al-Ghaz’s works in this descriptive-analytic study. Knowledge in works, both sensory, intellectual, and Judaism, though the only way to attain perfection is to know intuitive knowledge, and to attain that intuitive knowledge, it requires the effort and cultivation of the seeker's soul.
