Difference of Molavi’s Mystical and Theological Viewpoint on Determinism

Author

Abstract

Molavi's theological and mystical point of view on Determinism is different. He criticizes of theological Determinism, but advocates of mystical determinism. Molavi refuses the determinists' belief about determinism because it has unfavorable results in worldly and eternal life. But he accepts the free and amorous determinism of mystics. His reasons in refusing theological determinism are egoism, world tendency and truth elusive. Inappropriate usage and incorrect interpretation of deterministic form of determinism make it unfavorable; and the perfect use and perfect interpretation of lovers of god makes mystical determinism acceptable and admissible.
