Investigation the reflection of perfect human being and its authorities in Nahj al-Balaghah and Shahnameh

"Perfect human being" is an interpretation that mystics have used in their discussions about ontological issues. The perfect human being is the Almighty's most complete objective manifestation, representing His beauty and glory. Perfect human being is necessarily a mediator between the imperative creation and congenital creation. According to previous studies, Nahj al-Balaghah and Shahnameh introduced, interpreted, and explained the characteristics of noble and perfect human being. So, these two books are considered important sources for learning the methods of being a perfect human. The present article examines the characteristics of the perfect human being and its authorities in Nahj al-Balaghah and Shahnameh with a descriptive-analytical approach in Imam Ali's speech and Ferdowsi's point of view. This research results in the exclusion of undesirable characteristics and the attraction of desirable characteristics such as goodness and kindness, justice, wisdom, keeping promises, and keeping secrets. These features have been examined through the lens of ethics, and each of them shows the position of a complete human being. This comparative research indicated that the characteristics and moral qualities of perfect human beings had a high frequency in both studied books.
