خلاصة:
Considering the breadth of definitions and concepts presented about attraction in mystical texts, this research examines, categorizes, and analyzes the subject of attraction in prose mystical texts up to the 7th century AH. The results of this study show that attraction in mystical texts has not always been used with one meaning; some of these concepts include: observation and examination, ecstasy and acceptance, journeying through states, selection and distinction, seeking, success and grace, and liberation from the bondage of the self. In most of these definitions, attraction is a pull from the Almighty God, and in some definitions, attraction is expressed as the servant's pull towards God and the concept of seeking. Examining the evolution of the concept of attraction shows that although attraction is a divine gift, it does not enter the individual without prerequisites. In fact, the servant prepares the ground for receiving divine attraction by purifying the inner self. Also, attraction in the words of mystics has different degrees; so that in each station, a type of attraction enters the individual. In a general division, attraction is divided into general and specific types. Another type of attraction is the pull that God bestows upon the progeny of mankind on the Day of Eternity and creates it with a God-seeking nature.

٤٧٦], furthermore, Ruzbihan establishes a close connection between attraction, observation, and manifestation; in this way, attraction is the attainment of observation for the seeker, and in such a state, God Almighty manifests upon the soul of the mystic: “The attraction of souls is the elevation of the heart to the observation of secrets.
