Anwar-e Ma`rifat

This study, employing an analytical-descriptive method and drawing upon Quranic texts, hadith, and the views of mystics such as Ibn Arabi, Kashani, Najm al-Din Razi, and Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, aims to explain the concept of the "Primordial Homeland" from the perspective of Islamic mysticism and examine its applications in addressing the contemporary crisis of spirituality. The findings reveal that the "Primordial Homeland" is not a geographical location but an existential reality, consubstantial with the "divine innate nature", residing within the layer of the human heart as the "special face." This homeland is the heritage of human pre-mundane realms (such as the world of particles and the covenant), which, through the arc of descent and the traversing of luminous and dark veils, becomes subject to neglect. This neglect is identified as the source of contemporary spiritual crises such as identity loss, rootlessness, and existential anxiety. The path of return to the primordial homeland is facilitated through "remembrance" (tadhakor) and "purification of the self" (tazkiyat al-nafs), which pave the way for the flourishing of the "illuminated intellect"—as the criterion and guide for the spiritual path—and the retrieval of the primordial nature's spiritual memory. This mystical framework, by offering practical solutions in individual and social spheres, can provide a fundamental response to the spiritual challenges of contemporary humanity.
