Abstract
Throughout human history, colors have had an important importance and impact on human life. Paying attention to the various colors in nature is one of the recommendations of the Holy Quran and a sign of divine power, which is explicitly mentioned in several verses. However, each color has a specific meaning and different uses in different cultures. However, they have found a special expression in various sciences, especially in mystical literature, because seekers of the path of truth go through stages in their spiritual journey, at each stage of which they observe a specific light and color, which indicates their inner state, and every change in their spiritual state is revealed in the form of a specific color. For this reason, great mystics such asKubra,Semnani, Rumi,.... were among those who were experts in this field and had detailed reflections on colors. By expressing colors and generalizing their meanings, these greats have expressed the stages of mysticism and even their spiritual discoveries and intuitions symbolically and in a literary and noble language for their scholars and disciples, and have written valuable works in this field that are among the brilliant treasures of mystical literature. One of the most prominent manifestations of color, especially the color red, in the depiction of the afterlife and inner states, is in the thought and works of Roozbahan Beghli. In this article, we will examine and analyze his works using an analytical-descriptive method and library tools, focusing on the book "Kashf al-Asrar " in this field.
