What criteria have shaped the Islamic gnosis، and what major factors have arranged its path، and how has it corrected its mistakes? Surveys reveal that the root of Islamic gnosis and mysticism are just Quran and the Prophet's path known as "Sirat" in Islamic terms. But as it has moved on its way، it has been influenced by the rituals، attitudes and even the customs of other nations as well. Probably the reason why some have tried to show that the Islamic gnosis and mysticism has had an adverse path- even though they had enjoyed a variety of differing attitudes- is because they were influenced by their own religious and political views. On the other hand، maybe depending on their own attitude، as they have wanted to show that these enjoy a non-Islamic root، they have meant to consider the Islamic gnosis and mysticism opposing to the Islamic beliefs. They might have even intended to introduce it in a manner showing that the traditional mystical Persian literature does not need to follow the Islamic principles at all. Yet several documents imply that the Islamic mysticism is directly rooted in the Quran and the Prophet's path، the Islamic figures manner including the Imams، their companions and the Islamic disciples. However، gradually the views of the followers of the other schools، the social rituals of different nations and tribes and especially the desires of the hypocritical sophists have influenced this. Therefore some bad changes were made into the original issue. Therefore the sophists' great sheikhs have seriously tried to correct this by writing many books، guiding their followers so that the path of the theoretical and practical mysticism is once again based on its original criteria; that is Quran and the Prophet's Sirat. So finally، the Islamic gnosis and mysticism would proceed in its major path.
خلاصه ماشینی:
In our view as well, Islamic mysticism and Sufism, at the beginning of its emergence, was independent of previous schools and religions, and derived exclusively from the Holy Quran and the Seerah of the Prophet صلی الله علیه و آله و سلم, and it moved along that same original highway and measured and corrected its performance based on that same criterion; and without doubt, it has always placed Quranic verses and Prophetic Seerah as the primary criterion at the forefront of their work; although later, in their path of movement, they were sometimes not unaffected by the thoughts and customs of other cultures and nations.
While abundant documents indicate that Islamic mysticism stems directly from the Quran and the Prophetic life, and the method and conduct of the Ahl al-Bayt, the Companions, the Tabi'un, and the ascetics of early Islam; however, gradually, the views of followers of other schools, the social customs of various ethnic groups and nations, and especially the carnal desires of hypocritical ascetics and Sufis, have influenced it and caused it to gradually encounter deviations.
Therefore, the great Sufi masters have endeavored, through the authorship of numerous books and the guidance of disciples, to reform the theoretical and practical path of mysticism based on its primary criterion and indicator, namely the Quran and the life of the Noble Prophet, and to return it to its original path so that Islamic mysticism and Sufism can continue its journey on its main highway.
