Abstract

Kamal al-Din Hajiba bin Mirzajan Qazvini is one of the most prominent students of the Sheikh Baha'i. He authored the Qur'an al-Muluk in 1043, the only edition of which is held at 10294 in the library of the Majles. The subject of the Word of Almuluk Babajan Qazvini is in the mystical authority, styles and sayings of the mystics and divine authority. Using the achievements of psychology's knowledge in literature is a useful tool in scientific analysis and literary texts. To this end, in this article, based on the descriptive-analytic method and the comparative approach, Babacan Qazvini's view has been compared with the views of Wise Dyer (1940- 2015), a well-known mystic and psychologist in the field of personal development and spiritual growth. Babajan Qazvini, like Wayne Dyer, man and the surrounding issues, has a high position in his intellectual structure. The analysis of the opinions of these two characters shows that he, along with the subjects of Vienna Dyer, in his communication with the people, had a totalitarian attitude, accompanied by kindness and fellowship. Also, in the structure of the populist genius of Babajan and the subjects of Vienna, issues such as attention to basic human moral concepts, evasion of common sense, and moral vices were common. Based on the findings of this study, the interdisciplinary, self-sustaining, and self-taught personality of Babajan is proven.
