Abstract

The main questions of this article are as following: What is the share of Sharia in the Progression of the mystic? How much is commitment to Sharia necessary in this way? Proposing of such issues disambiguates the problem of commitment of mystics to Sharia. Due to this, first, the true meaning of Sharia is investigated and then its role in the Progression of mystics from beginning to the end is studied. As a result, it is found out that if the true meaning of Sharia is considered the most committed persons to it are true mystics that undertake it from the beginning of their Progression to the last stages of their Journey and, indeed, true mysticism and Progression are nothing but commitment to Sharia and complete obedience to it. The ones who have said other things either stated such things unconsciously or consciously and purposely to distort mysticism.
