Abstract

This is an applied research which seeks to evaluate the scientific and practical perfection of man in the Quran and mysticism. In this research with an analytic method, we try to answer: What components influence the scientific and practical perfection of man and have made him seize the opportunity to live in this world which is the best time to train and nurture his soul? And what are the strategies of Quran and mysticism about it? The following findings were made after collecting and analyzing the data using a library approach. Based on the primary classification and attitude of Imam Khomeini and Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, unlike some other classifications of mystics such as Ebne Arabi’s classification, humans are not divided into perfect humans and animal humans. However, they Believe humans, unlike animals, have two ranks. Due to a high position before Allah, and in order to get away from the animal trait, they must have a ripen process, which is the purpose of the creation. In their opinion, for various reasons such as his rank as Caliph of Allah, and descendent and ascendant arcs, human has dignity over other creatures. Thus, with the ripen process, human has the potentiality to move towards the non-finite divine aim.
