4. Mystical Dimensions of Faith

In conjunction with his scholarly pursuits, Feyd Kashani explored the mystical dimensions of religion through the lens of Irfan (gnosticism). His writings invite believers to embark upon a spiritual journey that transcends mere ritualistic observance. For Kashani, true understanding of God—the central focus of Shia spirituality—requires engagement with the inner self, an endeavor that demands introspection, devotion, and a sincere yearning for divine proximity.

Central to his mystical teachings is the concept of Tasfiyah (purification). Kashani asserts that such purification is indispensable for attaining a true comprehension of God’s attributes and grace. The process involves cleansing the heart from worldly distractions and aligning oneself with the will of the Almighty. Through this transformative journey, believers are urged to cultivate a personal relationship with the Divine, thus fostering a more profound sense of belonging and purpose.
