Abstract

In educational systems, educational goals are always fed by fundamentals and educational principles, which are the source of extraction of educational methods, are documented in fundamentals. The current research has been written with the aim of discovering the basics of mystical education based on the educational theories of the scholar and mystic, the late Ayatollah Sa'adat Parvar (who always relies on the Quran and Shia narratives, especially Du'as, and not the sayings of mystics) in his research. In addition, in this regard, this study has analyzed and categorized his mystical and educational writings, including 23 volumes of books on mystical topics, in order to achieve the principles as the foundations of his desired mystical education system by using the descriptive-Analytical method. The desired principles have been obtained in eight axes (theology, ontology, anthropology, epistemology, studies of guidance, studies of religions, studies of values, methodology) and in this regard, some of the verses and narratives, which are considered as his documents, have been explained.
