بررسی رویکرد انسان‌ گرایانه با تکیه بر افکار مولانا جلال‌الدین محمد بلخی و شمس‌الدین محمد تبریزی

A study of the humanistic approach based on the thoughts of Maulana Jalaluddin Muhammad Balkhi and Shamsuddin Muhammad Tabrizi

Abstract

This study analyzes and explores the humanistic approach in the thoughts of two prominent figures in Islamic mysticism, namely Molana Jalal-al-Din Mohammad Balkhi (Rumi) and Shams-al-Din Mohammad Tabrizi. From a philosophical and psychological perspective, humanism emphasizes humans' inherent values and dignity, considering them as self-governing, free, and possessing numerous potential capabilities. This research uses a library research method and a descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing credible Persian and non-Persian sources to investigate the role of love and self-knowledge in institutionalizing humanistic values in the works of Rumi and Shams. The results show that the teachings of these two great mystics provide an appropriate framework for understanding and explaining the humanistic approach by presenting a model of a mature human being within the context of spirituality, love, and responsibility. These teachings can also be applied in humanistic psychology, sociology, education, and the expansion of inter-civilizational dialogue. This research can also help develop new methods in education and human rights.
