Abstract

Although different religions and societies have maintained their independence throughout their lives, they have influenced each other as well. It seems that the search for a primary nuclear origin for some of the tendencies and ideas does not lead to a definite and precise conclusion. The present article uses the library method to study the origin of mysticism in the major religions. Undoubtedly, wherever there is a religion that is revelatory and monotheistic, traces of mysticism can be found in it, even religions that do not seem to have any revelatory roots. Mysticism, as a special profession looks at objects and its surroundings with a deep and philosophical insight. It has a special attitude and tries to consider the meaning and concept of thigs, and its greatest concern is to find the man by himself. Therefore, it can be said that mysticism is a mold in which every religion and ritual is poured and takes the same form. Mystical view of religious teachings has a timeless independence and exists in the nature of any religion and its life span is equal to humans’ life span. In general it can not be considered the source of Islam or a particular religion.
