Emotion-Oriented Approach in Rumi's View on Islamic Moral Focusing on Ethics of Care

Any time one delves deep into Rumi's thoughts, a new aspect appears before him as if it is the first time one faces such a thought. However, this time the surprise is greater because the new ethic school named ethic of care raised through developments in human psychology and psychoanalysis in the 19th and 20th centuries in Europe had been achieved and raised by Rumi rigorously and of course more comprehensively centuries ago. This matter is sufficient to justify his ethics as wonderful, which is still an example of moral teachings.One of the approaches for ethics of care is emotion whose layout in the works of Rumi has been deeply studied in this paper highlighting the fact that Rumi's ethical emotion started and ended with God. It deserves reflection that in western ethical school, emotion is created based on human one. And only such a drawback can challenge the whole school.
