خلاصة:
Death in the view of mystics is divided into two general types, namely accidental death and voluntary death. To reach the station of voluntary death, one must first recognize death, and to recognize death, the philosophy of creation must be understood. For this reason, a correct view of life leads to seeking a correct life, and consequently, it will also pursue a beautiful and correct death. On this basis, just as life is beautiful, death is also beautiful because its gate is another world, and that world is the appointed time for meeting the Friend. To meet the Friend, one must pass through this world, and this itself is another birth; since entering this world was contingent upon dying from stages such as plants and animals, on this same principle, passing from this world is also contingent upon dying from human attributes, because by possessing these attributes, reaching the Friend is impossible, and only death is the opener of this knot. Thus, death itself is the essence of eternal life.
ملخص الجهاز:
For the people of meaning, the world is a caravanserai; one should rest in it for a moment and then pack their luggage for travel: Life is pleasant, alas, it is not eternal, So do not rely on these five mortal days, O friend, Do not attach your heart to this caravanserai, For building a house in this caravan is not possible (Saadi, 1386: 709) Death is a bridge that brings the mystic to all those things to which they have dedicated a lifetime; it is the appointed time for meeting the Friend and the moment of encounter.
» (Quran Karim 40/11) is also indicative of the mystic's perception of death; because in every birth, one must first detach from the previous stage to become ready for entry into the subsequent stage, much like a child who, until they pass the stage of fetal life, does not enter the stage of this worldly life: So our life is dependent on weaning, Strive little by little, the speech is complete (Ibid, 3: 5) Regarding the circumstances of death, it has also been said that Bilal, in response to his grieving wife who saw him in that state, defined death as the meeting of friends and a new life (Bukhari, 1363, First Quarter: 146) Accordingly, this expression not only does not depict terrifying faces for death, but also indicates a birth that is flowing and prevailing in the system of existence and in every atom of beings, and humans are not excluded from it.
(Rumi, 1366, Vol. 3: 218) Discussion and Conclusion: In the view of mystics, death is not the end of everything or a category separate from life; rather, it is a kind of birth and, at the same time, the way to reach the Friend.
