Mirror Ciphers in Islamic Mysticism and Wisdom

Öz

In Islamic wisdom and mysticism, various ciphers and allegories have been used to explain the meanings and teachings of philosophical and mystical issues. As one of the strongest ciphers in the world of wisdom and mysticism, the mirror has been used as a cipher for the recognition of noetic truths, from the foundation of Ibn Arabi's theoretical mysticism and the foundation of the originality of existence of personal oneness of Mulla Sadra to the foundation of romantic mysticism, as well as the teachings of religious texts. The explanation of the cipher, analogy, and their relationship with the owner of analogy requires special attention to clarify the reason for the mirror's cipher, and in this article, using a descriptive-analytical method, we investigate this issue. In Islamic wisdom, the mirror is a cipher that depicts the way concepts appear in the mind, and just as the absent world is a mirror of the suprasensory world, the human mind is also a mirror of the absent world, and it should try to become pure wisdom by relying on its rational faculties, or it reflects God.

İslam Tasavvufunda ve Bilgeliğinde Ayna Şifreleri

Öz

İslam bilgeliği ve tasavvufunda, felsefi ve mistik meselelerin anlamlarını ve öğretilerini açıklamak için çeşitli şifreler ve alegoriler kullanılmıştır. Bilgelik ve tasavvuf dünyasının en güçlü şifrelerinden biri olan ayna, İbn Arabi'nin kuramsal tasavvufunun temellerinden, Molla Sadra'nın kişisel birliğin varoluşunun özgünlüğüne dair temellerinden, romantik tasavvufun temellerinden ve dini metinlerin öğretilerinden kadar, noetik gerçeklerin tanınması için bir şifre olarak kullanılmıştır. Şifrenin, analojinin ve analojinin sahibiyle olan ilişkilerinin açıklanması, aynanın şifresinin nedenini açıklığa kavuşturmak için özel bir dikkat gerektirir ve bu makalede, betimleyici-analitik bir yöntem kullanarak bu konuyu araştırmayı amaçlıyoruz. İslam bilgeliğinde ayna, kavramların zihinde nasıl göründüğünü gösteren bir şifredir; tıpkı yok olan dünyanın duyularüstü dünyanın bir aynası olması gibi, insan zihni de yok olan dünyanın bir aynasıdır. İnsan, akılcı yeteneklerine dayanarak saf bilgeliğe ulaşmaya çalışmalı, aksi takdirde Tanrı'yı yansıtır.

رمزهای آینه در عرفان و حکمت اسلا م

Öz

در حکمت و عرفان اسلامی، از رمزها و تمثیل‌های مختلفی برای تبیین معانی و آموزه‌های مسائل فلسفی و عرفانی استفاده شده است. آینه به عنوان یکی از قوی‌ترین رمزها در دنیای حکمت و عرفان، به عنوان رمزی برای شناخت حقایق عقلی، از بنیان عرفان نظری ابن عربی و بنیان اصالت وجود وحدت شخصی ملاصدرا گرفته تا بنیان عرفان عاشقانه و همچنین آموزه‌های متون دینی، مورد استفاده قرار گرفته است. تبیین رمز، قیاس و ارتباط آنها با صاحب قیاس، نیازمند توجه ویژه برای روشن شدن دلیل رمز آینه است و در این مقاله با روش توصیفی-تحلیلی، قصد بررسی این موضوع را داریم. در حکمت اسلامی، آینه رمزی است که چگونگی ظهور مفاهیم را در ذهن ترسیم می‌کند؛ همانطور که جهان غایب، آینه‌ای از جهان فراحسی است، ذهن انسان نیز آینه‌ای از جهان غایب است. باید با تکیه بر قوای عقلانی خود، تلاش کند تا به حکمت ناب تبدیل شود، یا خدا را منعکس کند.
