THE INTERPRETATION OF CONTENTMENT IN "MAHBUB-UL QULUB"
Abstract
In this article, the author focuses on the definition of contentment (qanoat) in the work Mahbub ul-Qulub and draws attention to the importance of this virtue in human perfection. Through a comparison of patience and haste as expressed in poetic couplets, emphasis is placed on the interpretation of vices as factors leading to the decline of human life. By substantiating patience and knowledge, the author compares their true and mystical (irfāniy) essence with the help of poetic lines.
