Erfaniyat Dar Adab Farsi

Perfect man is the source of prophets' education about God. He is the eternal divine truth. In defining capabilities and features of perfect man he should be described as the abstract of all human beings and the heir to the prophets, and his heart a mirror pane of the universe. The perfect man embodies the divine favor and the world will be kept by his wisdom. He is Caliph of God and God's deputy who landed into the earth to embody the glory of someone of whom the universe has existed. The field of creation is never going on without him and among all the Divine deputies at one time, there is a complete pole position and his rank is above all. What was mentioned about the perfect man is a reflection of the views of Rumi and Ibn Arabi. This paper investigates thoughts of these two famous mystics on perfect man.
