Ecstasy in the major categories of Mystic prose texts centuries 4-6 (A.H.)
Mystic terminology of "Ecstasy" is among spiritual states and intimations from the Unseen World which leads to the wayfarer's detachment from his self- consciousness by creating attributes such as happiness,sadness, delight, and grief. Ecstasy in the Mystic texts has been used in different definitions, including fit of ecstasy, hit of pain, illuminated fire, and so on (Esābatalam). Regarding the extensiveness of the definitions and concepts of ecstasy, in the present research, we have tried to study, analyze, and classify it in the Mystic prose texts dated back to 4-6 (A.H.), using the descriptive analytical method, and library documents. The results of the study shows that ecstasy is a Divine gift coming simply to the heart, and it is not acquisitive. The process of studying the concept of ecstasy shows that secondary causes provide the background of acceptance of this intimation from the Unseen World, and that it includes types and hierarchy that determine the degrees of ecstasy of the men of ecstasy and devide them into Beginners, The Mediocre, and The Transcendent (montahā). Appearance and influences of ecstasy differ concerning the strength and containership of the men of ecstasy and have got Mystic consequences.
