Ethical Considerations: 

In present paper, the originality of the texts, honesty and trustworthiness are observed.

 The findings indicate that morality has an effect on achieving peace. From the mystic’s point of view, from the 8th century onwards, especially Hafez Shirazi, the individual elements of ethics, such as patience, austerity and contentment and the social dimensions of ethics, such as tolerance, kindness, forgiveness, good nature, honesty, beneficence and charity are effective in realizing peace.

 According to the results peace is an internal issue that is related to human interiority. Acting in the direction of pushing the ego towards the individual and social elements of morality, is a source of peace. Therefore, to achieve peace, it is necessary to try to strengthen the individual and social elements of morality. In fact, in order to achieve peace, a person must turn to himself and strengthen his moral virtues to calm down.
