Abstract:

The present research explains a type of essentialist method in the field of lifestyle, Islamic knowledge and traditional Islamic beliefs and similar fields. Recognizing and explaining hybrid concepts such as Islamic lifestyle is a complex task that is not in the responsibility of glossary, and in this regard, the religion of Islam has presented frameworks in different aspects in all areas, on the basis of which different theories have been presented. . There are two views in dealing with religious experience. One is constructivism, which considers experience to be the set of the mental structure of the experiencer, and the other is essentialism, which considers various experiences to have a core with common characteristics. But the author of this pen did not accept the role of time and space in pure experience by calling the revelations of some mystics by their contemporaries as heresy and the contradiction of Lady Julian's revelations with the teachings of the church of his time, and to prove it, he appealed to Ibn Arabi for six reasons. 1- Not knowing the experience 2- Not expecting the experience 3- Not having a history of experience 4- The experience not being suitable for the nature of the seeker 5- Not repeating the experience 6- The result of not thinking about the experience. And then, with these arguments, he considers the mystic's revelation to be epistemic and reliable when it is pure and has these conditions to prove pure experience
