The world-Burning Love

Ibn Farez is perfectly talented and powerful; furthermore, religious and mystical feeling and understanding is at its highest elevation and excellence in him. The existence of these two prominent privileges has caused him to carry the banner of the poetry of his time in the period of literary regression after the crusades and stand at the peak of Arab mysticism. His two odes -- Taeeyeh Kobra and Khamriyeh -- have caused the rose garden of the Divine Love to blossom. Although his love is an example of mundane affection, it also includes many witty mystical points embellished with the colour of philosophy.Ibn Farez, like Ibn Arabi, Jalal al-Din Rum, Attar and others, is the composer of the unique heavenly music and reveals the divine secrets. He chose Islamic mysticism, having dynamic and positive aspects, to join the origin of Absolute Being and went through different stages of mystical path. He was fascinated to God on account of his public and private prayers and spiritual, physical and heartfelt obedience to God. He reached the Truth through intuition, epiphany, and illumination; therefore, unity and knowledge, principle of creation, substance of religions and sects constitute his religion. This article compares and contrasts his worldview, tradition and treatment of enlightened mystics and Sufis, who have created literary and mystic masterpieces under the influence of Islamic sciences, the Koran and traditions.
