This study aims to elucidate the impact of mystical-religious anthropology on Islamic humanities, focusing on the concept of the "Perfect Man." The research method is synthetic (traditional, rational, and intuitive), based on revelatory sources and mystical texts. The findings indicate that the Perfect Man (exemplified by the Infallibles) plays a fundamental role in three domains of Islamic humanities: as a source of knowledge, in its foundational principles and methodology, and in its ultimate purpose and function. As a manifestation of innate divine knowledge ('ilm ladunni), an heir to the knowledge of the prophets, and a locus for the manifestation of Divine Names, the Perfect Man, firstly, provides the authentic source—the teachings of the Infallibles—for extracting the foundations of the humanities. Secondly, this comprehensive anthropology transforms the ontological and epistemological foundations of the sciences and necessitates a synthetic (rational, transmitted, and intuitive) methodology. Thirdly, by presenting a comprehensive and transcendent image of human reality, this anthropology liberates the humanities from the confines of materialist approaches and orients them toward the production of a monotheistic, spiritual, and justice-oriented knowledge. The conclusion is that the realization of authentic Islamic humanities is not possible without reliance on mystical anthropology and the utilization of the knowledge of the infallible Perfect Man.
