SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: Mystical literature has provided an extensive area in which the nature of religious language, as a common topic of philosophy and religion, can be considered from a mystical point of view as well. In the meantime, the large collection of “Masnavi-ye Ma'navi” is a paradigm example of mystical texts that helps investigate the views of its creator, Jalalu-’d-din Mohammad Rumi on the nature of religious language. Rumi (Mawlawi, Mawlana) is one of the greatest Iranian poets and probably one of the most renewed poets in world literature.METHOD AND FINDING: This paper, which was conducted with the method of qualitative research and documentary review of Rumi poems, is organized as follows: First, the seven main theories about the nature of religious language will be explained briefly. Then, some paradigm examples of “Masnavi” in which Rumi has expressed his views about religious language will be interpreted. Finally, it will be shown that, according to Rumi, religious language is mainly symbolic, then analogous, followed by univocal, and lastly equivocal.CONCLUSION: In the conclusion of the research, there will be a brief explanation of the reason behind the aforementioned order, which shows why Muslim mystics, as one of the main four groups of Muslim scholars, have chosen such a view about religious language.

SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: This research is about knowing the important factors to be considered by a working woman's in religious point of view. Women play a very important role in religious; First and foremost, they bear the future generations of human being. They are the mothers that nurture the future leaders of the world; and They are the wives and the trustee of their husbands. To understand more about the rules of religious regarding women, we need to first understand regarding the position of women in religious. Why she is created, what are her purpose in this world, how she was created and how she is different and similar from men? By doing this, understanding her and the rulings that governs her in religion can be easier.METHOD AND FINDING: In this research, which was conducted with a qualitative method and analytical approach, it was found that under the rules of religious, working is permissible for women but she is bounded by certain rules that are for her own benefit. Woman is created as a servant of God so it is her primary duty to serve God. A woman also can be a wife and mother so she also has her duties and responsibilities that must be taken into consideration before planning to work.CONCLUSION: The research results showed that procuring livelihood is not a woman’s obligation and responsibility but it is permissible for her to work provided that she will not neglect her primary duties and responsibilities. Working and having an employment for women has its benefits and disadvantage so both must be taken into consideration and benefits should be greater than its disadvantage.

SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: philosophical rational analysis of Muslim philosophers about death now with reports from revived people or pre-death experiences which especially in the last century has attracted the attention of branches of psychology, has created this issue that What is the relationship between experimental findings and rational explanations in Islamic philosophy? This question was a starting point to investigate the descriptions of the nature and characteristics of near-death experiences according to the rational philosophical viewpoint particularly the Transcendent wisdom.METHOD AND FINDING: The present study was conducted according to the analytical-descriptive methodology, and the data were collected using the library research approach. The findings showed that near-death experiences arise when the bonds of the soul to the body get weakened, and this pushes any material veils aside and guides them to the imaginal world. As the rupture gets more profound, humans sense more in-depth experiences with added features in their lifes. The experiencers become free from the constraints of place and time as the two elements are absent in the imaginal world. The unity that such people sense arises due to achieving higher levels of understanding when their bonds to their bodies get more weakened. Experiencing heaven and hell in such experiences can be attributed to being exposed to the truth of actions.CONCLUSION: Sadr ul-Din Shirazi viewed love as the result of insight and existential unity. Being united with divine beloveds leads to happiness, while unity with sensual beloveds brings about agony in the imaginal world. Simultaneously experiencing love and unity with the light occurs due to the increased existential vastness and the achievement of a more in-depth understanding of love.
