” AN EMENDATION OF RESALAT AL-HEDAYYA BY HOSSEIN IBN MU’IN AL-DIN MEYBODI WITH AN ANALYTICAL INTRODUCTION”

Resalat al-Hedayya is one of the most important treatises of Athir al-Din Abhari, known as Ibn Athir. In this treatise, he examines the issues of logic, naturalism, and philosophy, based on the arguments of the predecessors and the arguments which he invented for the first time. One of the distinguished titles of this treatise, Hossein ibn Mu’in al-Din Meybodi, known as Kamal al-Din,  is one of the prominent literary figures of Iran born in the ninth century AH. He is Muslim and his denomination is Shafi’i, and he is interested in Imam Ali and Ahl al-Bayt, and to the extent that some of them consider him Shi’ite, his most important work is “the Description of Hedayat al-Hakmah Abhari” and “the Description of the Poems attributed to Imam Ali” and “Manshaat”. Meybodi considers the path of the Sufis superior to the way of the theologians and considers the latter way, which is based on scientific reasoning and analogy, with a great deal of doubt. Although he was not the founder of a particular school, he has been able to insert Mulla Sadra into the emergence of transcendental wisdom by expressing in-depth critique and inquiries on various topics as the “Middle Chain”.
