The discussion about the thought and views of Ayn-al-Qużāt Hamadānī, the famous mystic of the 6th century, has always been attractive due to his special mystical-philosophical system of thought, as well as his openness and exemplary carelessness in expressing his inner thoughts. Along with the rational view of a religious philosopher, he has presented a different view from the point of view of a mystic. One of the important things in the intellectual system of Ayn-al-Qużāt Hamadānī is his definition and analysis of the category of” wisdom”. He has specified a way for wisdom, and where the wisdom cannot reach, he calls it beyond wisdom, and to achieve this, the eyes of human insight must be opened. Moreover, the judge calls wisdom a “special measure” and believes it does not have the ability to reach the realm of the kingdom. Therefore, beyond wisdom, it is pure knowledge and insight that can guide the seeker to the truth of existence. By researching and pondering the works of Ayn-al-Qużāt Hamadānī, this article analyzes his philosophical-mystical points of views on the status and dignity of wisdom and also introduces the definition and characteristics of wisdom from his mystical point of view.
