نگاهي به وحدت اديان از چشم‌انداز عرفان

A Glance at the Unity of Religions (Ecumenism) from the Perspective of Mysticism

وحدت‌گرايي ديني، رويكردي است كه عارفان مسلمان به مسيله كثرت اديان دارند. از اين ديدگاه، تمام اديان از ريشه واحدي سرچشمه گرفته‌اند و همگي، جلوه‌ها و مظاهر وحدت حقه ديني هستند. بنابراين اديان از نظر باطني، وحدت دارند، اما از نظر ظاهري، دچار اختلاف هستند. بر اين اساس، نگارنده در اين مقاله كوشيده است تا وحدت‌گرايي ديني (وحدت دين و كثرت شرايع) را از چشم‌انداز عرفان بررسي و مباني عرفاني آن (مانند وحدت وجود، كثرت و اختلاف اسماي الهي و غيره) را تبيين و تحليل كند.

Ecumenism is an approach taken by Muslim mystics to the question of the multiplicity of religions. According to these mystics, all religions have had the same root and origin and all are the manifestations of one rightful religion. Thus, religions have unity in an esoteric manner (intrinsically), but they seem to have differences and divisions outwardly. The writer has made an attempt to study the so-called unity of religions (ecumenism) on the one hand, and the multiplicity of religious Laws (exoterism) from mystical perspective on the other, trying to make critical remarks on their mystical foundations (such as the unity of existence, the unity of religion, the multiplicity of the Names and so on)
