This stage of conduct means connecting to the essential nature, one of the common aspects of Islamic mysticism and Christian mysticism. In this article, which is written with a descriptive-comparative method, the common features of divine love in the two mystical schools of Christianity and Islam are examined and compared by relying on Augustine and Ahmed Ghazali. The results of the research show that Ahmed Ghazali and Augustine have similarities in some areas despite some theoretical differences. In addition to the fact that this issue is an indication of the innate nature of human perfectionism, it is the common aspect of all religions and religions and connects them. Things like: existence is beautiful at any time; Love is the child of beauty; There is beauty and love in all beings; Every being is a mirror of God's beauty; Man is God's chosen being, and the :union: of the lover and the beloved is the inseparable pillar of love, one of the most obvious commonalities of Christian mysticism and Islamic mysticism.
