A Review of the Mystical Supervision based on Allegorical Metamorphosis and its Transmission to the era of Sohravardi

Many researchers have researched the source of Islamic Sufism from a certain intellectual disposition. The prevailing view of these research works, is based on arbolic thinking and having centralized roots. According to the theory of allegorical Metamorphosis, each of the topics discussed in Islamic Sufism, can have separate roots. The present paper aims to show that Iranian Culture is one of the sources of Islamic Sufism, and formation of Mystical Supervision Theory in Iran can be a result of an evolution in Iranian beliefs about Divine Glory. In this paper, the environmental and intellectual backgrounds affecting on the compilation of the discussion of Mystical Supervision by Hakim Termazi, will be discussed. And also by showing the pathway of Mystical Supervision Theory till the era of Sohrevardi and its effect on the works of great Mystics and Intellectuals, the theory of Sohrevardi and its relevance to the theory of Mystical Supervision will be discussed. Moreover the combination of these ideas – that despite the evolution in elements, has preserved its semantic nature- is examined. The present research, shows that the link between Khosravāni wisdom and Iranian Mysticism and the gradual evolution in the theory of Mystical Supervision, how prepared the intellectual and theoretical backgrounds for what later called the Safavi Supervision. The primary backgrounds of this evolution, was present in the Iranian Culture and a great thinker like Sohrevardi gave it a new life.Manyresearchershaveresearchedthesource of Islamic Sufism from a certain intellectual disposition.
