Abstract

This article is a consideration of the inner meanings and functions of theEIKAYAt, or visionary treatises, written by such Islamic mystics as Jami, Suhrawardi, Niiami and Ibn Sina. The article focuses on the nature of symbolism and in particular on the mystical and interiorizing interpretation of symbolism which is demanded by these texts. As the author writes, "EIKAYA does not take into account only the symbolic language of the Text, but also the concomitantinteriorization of the Text, the semantic unburdening of which has to take place in the inner history and geography of the soul…these stories call for applied spirituality, a spirituality of which the met ahistorical events are brought to completion only for God." In the second part of the article the author focuses in particular on the ' Ta’wi or the spiritual exegesis of Love' which is " a pure act of mystical death and spiritual resurrection, the act of emerging from and entering into new cognitive levels, which is what constitutes the interpretative MI' raj of every living soul." In this discussion he pays particular attention to the insights of 'Ayn al-Quąat Hamadani in this regard.
