Abstract
Mysticism is one of the ways of knowing God and manifesting the nominal attributes and actions in the transcendent essence of the transcendent. Mysticism and Sufism have a long history, but the peak of mysticism flourished in the period of the arrival of Islam in Iran. Great mystics such as Rumi, Mulla Sadra and Imam Khomeini are among the great in this field. Many studies in the field of mysticism have been done so far. In this study, we examined the mystical theories of Imam Khomeini, the great contemporary thinker and mystic of the Islamic world, with Rumi in various fields of mysticism, relying on the Divan of Imam Khomeini and Masnavi. According to Imam Khomeini, mysticism is not possible only from acquired knowledge, and the way to become a mystic must be face-to-face and intuitive knowledge. For this to be manifested to man by God. Rumi, however, believes that in order to reach the perfection of mysticism, knowledge must be in the heart of the mystic, and this knowledge must be obtained through conduct, effort and effort. . In Imam's mystical view of theology, the universe is inherently obligatory and singular, and there is nothing but an obligatory truth in the universe.
