Mankind in Mersadol Ebad

Najmodding Razi, just like one of his prominent contemporary mystics, has contemplated over the status of human being from different perspectives and has focused on his destiny in three stages, namely origin, living, and resurrection. At first, this paper points out the relation between the stated ideas and the worldviews of the writers to find out what Najmodding Razi has uttered about mankind stems from his own mystical worldview. Then, it skims through the duality of human life plus other points that the writer has addressed about ghost, so as to find out he assumes human ghost to be the rider and his body as the carrier. And allegorically it seems that human souls lie between the two extremes of purity and corruption, and it is by means of such ghosts that they can be ranked from the highest point, that is prophethood, to the lowest rank, that is infidelity and hypocrisy. Other discussions in this paper include man's craving for being directed; potential talent of man to evolve and to perfect; the stages of human cognition that is rational, theoretical, and intuitive; man's interaction with other human beings; and friendship with sheikh.
