A Comparative Study of the Concept of Love in the Disasters of Al-Ashaq Ahmad Ghazali and Atf Al Alef Abolhassan Dilami

The subject of this research is the study of love in the first independent works of Iranian mystics. Ahmad Ghazali, the Resalat Svanah al-Ashaq, is the first independent work in this field. In this treatise, he outlines the issues surrounding love with a psychological viewpoint in the literary language. In the 4th century AH, Abolhassan Dilami, the Iranian joyful writer, wrote the book Atf Al Alef Al-Ma'aluf Ali Allah Al-M'a'atov in Arabic, in which the work has a completely psychological track. Deylmi, was though influenced by the thoughts of the Greek philosophers, especially Plato, but he combined his views with the religious foundations of the Islamic Shari'a is his idea. In this essay, we tried to show the similarities and differences of the two works in a comparative way in such a way as to obtain the specific and logical results. Ahmad Ghazali, as he had the experience of Abolhassan Dilami, did not consider the theory of love and affection; his poetic language and his intention to express references to the materials made him difficult to understand; while Dilami is also a theorist who has expressed everything in plain and fluent language; of course, the two have taken such a stylistic views with the aim of their work.
