Background: Altruistic ethics is one of the most important topics for Muslim thinkers, especially the mystics. Among Iranian mystics, the works of Attar Neishabouri are remarkable in terms of addressing humanitarian concepts. Attar had paid particular attention to the type of human being due to the numerous works and the familiarity with the sources of jurisprudence and interpretation. This research has been done through a descriptive-analytical method using library resources and wants to critique the concepts of altruistic ethics in the word of Attar. Findings of the research show that altruistic ethics has been considered by Attar in different aspects.
Conclusion: In the circle of Attar's human mercy and dignity, mankind has inherent dignity, so regardless of color, race, language, and religion, his rights are esteemed. Moralism based on altruism in the forms of affection for family, relatives, neighbors, teachers, orphans, captives and even non-Muslims, has found remarkable crystallization in the works of Attar. It is important to note that the Sufism in general and Attar Neishabouri, as one of the most prominent representatives of this social class, in particular, for centuries before the civilized man has gained access to the mechanism of promoting altruism ethics, are reflected those thoughts in their words. |
