Analytical Re-examining of the Components and Strategies of the Spiritual System of Mirzā Jawād Maleki Tabrizi and its Compatibility with Philosophical and Logical Principles

The Islamic mystical space, especially in its practical dimension, is always intertwined with instructions and models provided by the mystics for the seekers on the path to achieve high spiritual stations. Mirzā Jawād Maleki Tabrizi is one of the well-known mystics who has tried to present a systematic sulūk (spiritual wayfaring) in the Shiite mystical tradition. Undoubtedly, the validity of this spiritual system, both in terms of epistemology and ontology, depends on how well its components and strategies align with the framework of "rationality" and "logical proofs." Therefore, this research aims to achieve two main First, to gather and explain the components and strategies that Mirzā Jawād Maleki used to structure his systematic sulūk (spiritual wayfaring), and second, to assess this spiritual system based on the criteria of "rationality," "proof," and "theoretical wisdom." The outcome of achieving these two objectives will be the creation of a connection between the two realms of practical mysticism and theoretical wisdom, a connection that can significantly contribute to aligning these two important fields of thought and removing some of the misunderstandings and challenges related to them in mystical and philosophical thinking.
