Prophet's Manner and Path; Major Criteria in Islamic Mystic and Gnosi's as Reflected in Persian Mystic Texts

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 sophist's 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.
