The Issue of Infidelity and Faith from the Point of View of Ein al-QozatHamadani and Mowlana

The issue of infidelity and faith is a basic issue in mysticism. Mystics have different impressions of this issue. Ein al-QozatHamadani and Mowlana are two mystics whose ideas are comparable. Hamadani has a hair-splitting view of mysticism. Influenced by mystic ideas like Hallaj\''s، he explicates the issue of infidelity and faith. Mowlana، a great Iranian mystic who has had a great role in the formation and development of romantic mysticism، has stated noteworthy points on this issue. Having a religious look at the issues of infidelity and faith and exploiting the concept of real love، Mowlana portrays a loving and lovely world. In his view، infidelity is a place of ambush for faith. Over and above all is the pure love which makes infidelity and faith meaningless. However، both Hamadani and Mowlana consider infidelity to represent misguidance and faith to represent guidance، both of which have the same origin.
