The Place of Ghadir in Mysticism and Mystical Literature

Islamic mysticism is summarized in "Theory of Wilayah", and hadith of Ghadir is the main evidence for proving the place of guardianship of Wali Allah al-Azam (Imam Mahdi), Amir al-Mumenin Ali and other Shiite Imams. Ghadir is in fact the most important order of the Qur'an and includes divine revelation, which is the essence of Islam and mysticism, and invites everyone to obey the order of the Amir al- Mu'minin, which are called the umbrella of mysticism and Shiism. Hence, mystical sources place "guardianship" in a more comprehensive position than prophecy and even higher. In Islamic mysticism, it begins with the martyrdom of Hassan Basri on Ghadir and continues as a comprehensive theory, from the theory of the perfect man in theoretical mysticism to technology in practical mysticism. In Persian poetic and prose mystical literature, it also appears in the form of significant literary types, in which poems of Ghadir are considered the most beautiful Wilayah and Alawi poems. It also appears in Wilat Nameh (a collection of books including love of Imam Ali and his guardianship), Fotowat Nameh (A collection of book about manliness of Imam Ali), letters, speeches and even in the discoveries and intuitions of mystics, examples of which are counted and presented in this paper.
