Abstract :
Baized Bastami has always been considered as one of the loftiest summits of mysticism theophany. The belief in oneness and uniqueness of God is the basis of his mysticism school and love has a special place in his mysticism. To reach maturity in love, he empties himself of his very sense of self and approaches The Beloved. Later on this mystic love dooms him to annihilation. In a way that from the lover nothing remains and everything is The Beloved. This is the reason behind “Sobhani ma aazama shaani”. It can be said that Bayazid’s mystic conduct revolves around theology. This route takes him to God through the vehicle of endearment and attachment. His view of mystic conduct, especially about theology and understanding is particularly surprising. He sees nothing, wants nothing and seeks nothing except for God in this world, as well as the next. To him the whole universe means God. The present paper studies the mystic school of Bayazid Bastami and tries to show his special place in Islamic mysticism.
