Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
The mystics' approach towards the subject of happiness has been originated from Qua'nic verses and divine narrations. In religious resources, admirable happiness, noticing to the benefactor, thanking him, and God's satisfaction will be followed. But indecent happiness is raised from sensual motivations cause ignorance of the benefactor and also inebriation, vanity and deviation. Based on this, mystics were ignorant of the world and indecent happiness. They have considered that the best criterion for real happiness is a happiness originated from divinity. They also believe that piety, closeness to God, theology, be satisfied with God's willing, obedience of God and grief for the hereafter affairs are the bases of moving towards God as well as having real and constant happiness. The abundant effects of the religious educations in approaches of the Islamic mystics about happiness and also the requirement on explicating and knowing their principles made this subject to be investigated in an independent research. The present study, by analyzing the concepts, attempts to explain the origin of happiness in Islamic mysticism and the mystics' approaches.
