Theological Thoughts on Tawhid in Attars Masnavies
Author(s):
Abstract:
Mystical literature has always been accompanied by secrets and mysteries; and understanding the concepts¡ interpretations¡ terms and themes mentioned in mystical poems and proses such as theological themes has never been easy since they are mixed with special symbols and allegories. The elements of mystical literature¡ though not that complicated¡ bring up deep questions in mind¡ for which finding the answers requires true understanding of mystical¡ religious and theological insights of the authors. Attar is one of those mystic poets who has incorporated his beliefs and religious attitudes with a mystical virtue in all his works. Using a descriptive-analytical method¡ assuming that Attars mystical thoughts are incorporated with his theological thoughts¡ this paper tries to investigate the effects of different theological schools on the intellectual and mystic basis of monotheism (Tawhid) theme in Attars works with respect to his wellknown four Masnavi books. The results show that the influence of theological issues on these works is too much that any account of Attars works without learning about his theological insights would be incomplete. However¡ it would be useless to insist on assigning him to one specific theological school.
