Statement of the problem

Mysticism means the intuitive knowledge of Almighty God and His names, attributes and actions, which is rooted in human nature. But sometimes this knowledge does not take the right path in its methods to reach real knowledge and is drawn to deviation.

Currently, many of the existing mysticisms are false and fabricated and outside the framework of religion. And it is wrong to use the word mysticism for such sects. Because achieving true mysticism is through religious orders and based on revelation. In fact, these schools are a type of pseudo-mysticism that is based on humanism and lacks religious spirituality. Because humanism moves towards humanism and targets Godism.

False mysticism is a clear example of the soft war of the enemies of Islam, which endangers the individual's identity. And people's social values ??are weakened, they create psychological crises. And by targeting people's beliefs and convictions, especially young people, they intend to collapse and destabilize families.

Perhaps it is possible to express the internal (natural) and external (cultural, political, social, economic) factors that lead to such mysticism as follows: the innateness of the desire for spirituality, the weakness of religious propaganda, the attractive presentation of false mysticism, ignorance of true mysticism, harming religion and national security, Sharia aversion and escaping from Islamic homework, freedom of relationship between boys and girls, desire to be different in young people, desire for fleeting pleasures and so on. .
