A review of the types of relations between religion and mysticism with emphasis on the "eight vertices" of the science of logic

The relationship between religion and mysticism is a wide-ranging and challenging issue that has its roots in the history of Sufism and mysticism. Muslim mystics, along with religious scholars inclined to Islamic mysticism, have always emphasized the Islamic origin of mysticism. On the other hand, some religious scholars have denied any connection between mysticism and Islamic teachings. They have considered mystical teachings as heresy which is the result of mystics' connection with foreign cultures; Hence, have confronted them. It seems that this disagreement can be resolved to some extent by clarifying the various dimensions of mysticism, thus reducing the disagreement and increasing the consensus. In the present study, instead of presenting a specific relationship, the various relationships that exist between different dimensions of mysticism and religion will be discussed, so the dispute due to ambiguity in the relationship between these two will be clarified  through analytical and phenomenological methods. Utilizing the "Ro'us thamaniyah" "eight vertices" of the science of logic as well as the comparison of mysticism with other sciences in this study reduces the ambiguity of relation between the two. Because by referring to some of "Ro'us thamaniyah" such as: subject and type, purpose and motive, author and compiler, benefit and interest, position and rank and also Segmentation of mysticism, brings us to different and numerous relations between religion and mysticism that in some similarities and in some other dimensions there will be contrasts. The result of this approach will negate the general view and the definite opinion in this regard and invite to a partial and dimensional view.
