Abstract
The ultimate goal of spiritual training is to achieve perfection and reach the state of divine closeness. The Holy Quran and the Hadiths clearly indicate this. It should be known that the path of human movement is a real path, not a hypothetical or metaphorical one, and the Holy Quran and the Hadiths are used to show that the ultimate movement of man is towards God. One of the mystics who can be placed in the school of mysticism is Rashid al-Din Meybodi. His book Tafsir Kashf al-Asrar is the greatest and oldest Persian mystical commentary that contains a collection of legal subtleties, Quranic points, and prophetic references, and was written with the aim of explaining the path of spiritual conduct and reaching the truth using the source of knowledge of the prophets and the merciful law. Meybodi ultimately gave gentle and kind advice and expressed his message mostly in the form of quotations, stories, and hadiths. In "Al-Nuba' al-Third" Rashid al-Din Meybodi has a mystical and artistic view of the verses of the Quran and the stories of the prophets. The present article attempts to examine the spiritual teachings in the mystical interpretation of Kashf al-Asrar using a descriptive-analytical method.
