Abstract :
The perfect man is one of the most important and common terms in mystical texts. Secrets of Martyrdom is the name of the mystical work of Sheikh Mohammad Asiri Lahiji, a mystic of the ninth century AH, which deals with mystical themes and concepts of the perfect man. The aim of this study is to identify the perfect human being in the above work, by descriptive-analytical method; First, he has examined the relationship of the perfect man with God Almighty, then his relationship with the universe, as well as the issue of the mission and guardianship of the perfect man. The results of this research show that in the mystical views of Sheikh Mohammad Lahiji, the perfect human being is the manifestation of the manifestation of the essence of the Supreme Being, who has achieved the understanding of existential unity by removing the stain of non-existent and virtual determinations, and has walked the path to God. According to Lahiji, the perfect man in the transcendent vision of existential unity has become worthy of the divine caliphate in the world. Leadership and guardianship over creatures is unique to him. Lahiji in the secrets of intuition, referring to the signs, considers the guidance and guardianship of the people to be the responsibility of a perfect man, whose path is the straight path and God has adorned him with a good creation. In fact, Lahiji means that the perfect man is the face of the Supreme Being in the material world.
