Abstract

Iranian contemporary resistance literature that Part of it was created in relation with the Holy Defense, is a appearance of the purity, faith, and sacrifice of the warriors and their purest religious beliefs. In the midst of these works, the deepest mystical beliefs also appear, and these works are a demonstration of the mystical principles that are intertwined with religious beliefs. The works of resistance literature of the Holy Defense, especially in its fictional part, have not been studied much from the perspective of the presence of mysticism and the depth of mystical thoughts, and according to the inextricable link between mysticism, warriors, and war fronts, a study on this subject was necessary. Considering this deficiency, several fictional works by writers of resistance literature in the form of stories, novels, and memoirs were selected, and the traces of mysticism and mystical ideas in these works were analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method. The results of this study show the strong presence of the principles of the mystics in these works, and these works are a collection of deep beliefs in the principles of mysticism, such as Tawakkul(trust), Fanāi Afaāli(the annihilation of actions), abandoning selfishness and vanity, Mujahidah, Rida, certainty, and the obligation of the Pir(guide) on the path, each of which is present in a part of these works.
