Abstract

This article provides a comparative analysis of the concept of the perfect man (al-insan al-kamil) in Sufism, examining the interpretations of three influential Sufi thinkers: Aziz Nasafi, Ghazali, and Rumi. The perfect man represents the ultimate spiritual ideal in Sufi philosophy, embodying virtues and qualities that signify closeness to the divine. Each scholar—Nasafi, known for his systematic theological approach; Ghazali, renowned for his synthesis of theology and mysticism; and Rumi, celebrated for his poetic expression—offers unique insights into the nature and significance of the perfect man within Islamic mysticism. This comparative study explores their perspectives, highlighting both convergences and divergences in their understanding of spiritual perfection.
