| Mystical ethics, as a movement within the complex realm of human existence, requires divine and infallible guidance to remain protected from deviation. Given the richness of Qurʾanic teachings and the works of Imam Sajjad (PBUH), the main question of this research concerns the components, foundations, and practical models of the mystical ethical system from the perspective of the Qurʾan and Imam Sajjad. The research employs a descriptive–analytical method based on library studies. The findings indicate that Imam Sajjad’s ethical system possesses a coherent and comprehensive structure distinguished by components such as “exclusive monotheism,” “loving servitude,” and “social responsibility.” This system is founded upon mystical theology, ontology, and anthropology rooted in God centeredness and focused on divine attributes. An examination of ethical wayfaring texts reveals two practical models derived from Imam Sajjad’s works and supported by Qurʾanic teachings: the four stage journey from asceticism to contentment, and the station based structure of The Fifteen Whispered Prayers. This model provides an authentic and secure path toward spiritual perfection with a clear goal, defined stages, and sound textual foundations. |
