Abstract
True ash (transcendental love in Sufism) is the ishq for God. If ash in one meaning, is being astonished by the beauty of humans, creatures and manners, is it not that God is the source of all the types of beauty? Thus, for the Aries (people of high gnosis in Sufism), being in love with the beauty of creatures is the path for being in love with God. Eventually, the divine ash brings the ash of human, nature, creatures and even inanimate objects and animals. If we look at the mystics and the great Aries such as Rabiaa Adawi, Mawlana Rumi, Hafiz, Ibn-Arabi, Mawlawi and Mahwi, we see their deep and affectionate ash for humans and other creatures to the extent of enthusiasm for their opponents as well. True ash is flaming for the names of God and blending with them to the extent that God says, “I become his [God’s servants’] sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he strikes…” till the end of the Hadith. This is the status of wail (friend of God in Sufism); God’s Aliya (plural of wail) are also friends among people, i.e. God bestows cordiality upon them among people.
From this perspective, if we want to introduce ash, we know that definition is given to the objects which are tangible. Definition is often linked with science and the things that are familiar to people or people have often dealt with. However, Iesha is among the concepts which cannot be easily defined and not only that, but also explaining and distinguishing it linguistically and in writing is not an easy task. We can explain ash from a linguistic and cultural perspective, but we cannot define ash. There are other smaller things than ash that we cannot define or express either such as the scent or the aesthetics of a flower. You can only say a flower is beautiful or it has a nice smell but you cannot write down or make that beauty or smell tangible. So, to feel its beauty and nice smell you have to blend the smell with your breath and blend its appearance and beauty with your sight; that is to reflect on them in solitude. Iesha is to be savored and then felt, as Ibn-Arabi, Mawlana Rumi and other Aries explain it. In this regard, our research is entitled “The Iesha of God between Mawlawi Tawagozi and Mawlana Rumi” which is a comparative study and it is divided into two sections:
Section one explains the concept and importance of ash and it is further divided into two subsections. The first one deals with the term and concept of ash while the second one is dedicated to three points: types of ash, ash in philosophy, and ash in religion.
