Towards the evaluation of the usual concept in understanding the purposes of the mystical experience

Abstract

Through this study on Islamic mysticism, we intend to elaborate a full-fledged scientific perspective that derives its strength from a contemporary philosophical perception grounded on constructive critical analysis.  This would be achieved through relying on accuracy and objectivity to get free from any authority of ideological studies and reactionary and regressive perceptions of the tradition.  The ultimate goal is to construct a system of knowledge that derives its strength from a purposeful and valuable perspective of this science to enable the new generation to cherish rich spiritual values, and be inspired by the expertise and experiences of great mystics and leaders who had left a positive impact in illuminating individuals and uplifting civilization.
