Imam Fakhr Razi's Ketabon felhobb (A Book on Love)

The purpose of this paper is a brief explanation of the biography and works of Fakhr Razi (544-606 AH) and an analysis of his book called "A Book on Love", out of a series called "Safinaye Tabriz"(Vessel of Tabriz), and its translation, which among 'love book's it presents something new with specific ideas. Imam Fakhr Razi deems it impossible for the interpretation and denotation of love which strolls in the mind of mankind and roams in the imagination, taking over the will and creating symptoms so that it shrinks the love force in the lover and request in the beloved. He believes that the beloved and the lover will drown in love, but if it is divine it will ascend to the world of ideas so that there would be no trace of lover and beloved. Love has to be directed toward God whereas any reliance on the creator and creature or whatever found materialistic has to be abandoned. Because love is a situation which happens for human beings and prevents the owner of love from distinguishing and identifying sufferings and comfort, dark and light, even sometimes it may cause him death.
