Abstract

Gnosis (Mysticism) is a philosophy and meditation school leading the way farer through the reality and truth recognition on the basis of gnostics’ intectual intuition to attain his aim.
Gnostics adjusted Qorānic concepts and prophetic sayings to the man’s inner state and inner world, and ultimately offered a perfect thought. This unique characteristic is clearly revealed in Mowlānā and ibn Fārez works. By seventh century, practical way farring, mystic spiritual practices and sufies ‘way farring experiences were sufism and gnosis’ backbone and invaluable support.
However, during the seventh century, due to ibn ‘Arabi and his followers appearance, there was a significant revolution in Sufism and Gnosis. In this era, those two great characters, Mowlānā and ibn fārez, were elegant in accordance to this Gnositic revolution in philosophical shape.
Mowlānā accomplished mystic spiritual practices, however,he did not refuse to mention arguements about Unity of Existance and Unity of Vision in his couplets.There was a difference between Rumi‘s Unity of Existance and that of ibn ‘Arabi and his followers – inb fārez was similar to ibn ‘Arabi and Mowlānā in deep emotion, love, splendour, and divine beauty. His words contained more unity tone, although sometimes he uttered some speeches to please Unity of Vision supporters.
Distinguishing the similarities between Mowlānā and ibn Fārez thoughts is one of the most momentous issues to be studied in this paper. There would be a variety of discussions such as splendour and divine beauty, love and mystical concert, intellectual faculty, plurality of religons, mystic beauty- worshipping and… to be investigated. The most important point to be considered is that there has been some differences between Mowlānā and ibn fārez but the considerable point is the commonality in these two characters thought which was more notable them their differences.
