“Mystical Anthropology in Imam Sajjad’s Works”

After the Holy Qur’an, the works of Imams (PBUH) are a valuable source of divine knowledge that can help human beings in explaining the plan of life. Meanwhile, Al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya and the remains of the work of the Prophet, most of which are prayer issues, are of great importance. Anthropology is also a fundamental topic in all human sciences, because of the interactivity that human has with God and his own. Therefore, in this descriptive-analytical method, the topic of mystical Anthropology in the works of Imam Sajjad (PBUH) is discussed. This research seeks to achieve a system in which, based on the works of Imam Sajjad (PBUH), the status of man in existence, the position of the Caliph  of Allah, the role of authority in human behavior and ultimate perfection are portrayed . From Imam Sajjad’s point of view (PBUH), the position of Caliph of Allah belongs to Prophets and Imams and does not include all human beings. The prophets and the Imams are the mediators between God and people in knowledge and the spiritual growth of man follows the obedience of the Almighty God and the prophets and Imams. They are the mediators of grace on servants, and therefore the land will never be empty of them. The Prophet emphasized the limitations of human being and the role of prayer and actions, and in changing the divine position. From the perspective of Imam Sajjad (AS), human perfection is the same as the purpose of creation and worship.
