        Sheikh Ahmad Ahsaei could be considered as one of the prolific authors who had a special school of thought. Many debates on his beliefs and ideas is still on desk and some are extremist and others deal with him leniency. Sheikh Ahmad's eminent characteristics is his diversity and variety of works. The main objection of his contemporary scholars to him was the contradiction of his thoughts to the Kitāb and Sunna and the religious incontrovertible belief, which returns to his methodology of study. Although Sheikh Ahmad introduced Qur'an and Hadith as the criteria of evaluation of Islamic belief and even his own ideas, he did not refuse to exert philosophical and mystical phrase and in many cases tried to reconcile the Qur'anic thoughts with them. In fact, he interpreted the religious facts with the human sciences such as astronomy and philosophical naturalism. He unintentionally was impressed by various human science and explained the Divine beliefs by them, which in turn was condemned by himself. It could be traced the influence of Suhriwardī's Ishrāq philosophy, Mānī beliefs, Isma'ilite esotericism, and Tasawwuf (Islamic mysticism) in his works. Also, abnormalities and ambiguities of his thoughts, cause in deviation of Bābism Manuscript profile

        2 - Islam and the Western Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Apostasy, Freedom of Thought

        The Universal Declaration of Human Rights focused on determining the most important principles of human rights and freedoms, including freedom, equality and, etc. But despite its global nature, it has raised many challenges among the nations of the world, including Muslim countries. This declaration ignores the main basis of human rights, which are emphasized in Islam, that is, the uniqueness of God, which is ignored and limited to human intellects in it, and the centrality of man in compiling this declaration is one of the main challenges that the new Western world has created for the Islamic world. The present study has been written with a critical and comparative expression, in a descriptive-analytical method with a library approach. The results of analytical arguments show that human rights from the perspective of Islam are part of the school of Islam, divine laws and faith of the heart that recognizes and binds on human rights. But the focus of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is on human reason and the denial of any ethnic, religious or cultural domination of man. Therefore, in religious thinking, human rights are more thoughtful and guarantee more implementation. There are many similarities and differences between the International Charter of Human Rights and the Declaration of Human Rights from the perspective of Islam. However, due to differences in the philosophical and ideological foundations of many of the basic principles of the two charters, these concepts cannot be absolutely accepted by Islam in the same way as stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

        The issue of determinism and free will is one of the most complex points of theology in the religion of Islam. According to the diverse interpretations of different theological sects and intellectual and religious schools, including mystics, from the verses of the Holy Quran and the hadiths of the Prophet; it has been followed different and sometimes contradictory interpretations; to the extent that each of the intellectual societies, including the Ash'arites and Mu’tazilites, have been in constant search to prove their beliefs according to their own intellectual and ideological basis. Meanwhile, Muslim mystics, including Maulana Jalaluddin, due to his great work, Masnavi, mentions one of the strong and convincing reasons in order to prove free will and human will that the use the rational method of the thought power is in absorbing desires and seeking phenomena which is referred to as "common value". By the rational methodology, Rumi seeks to prove the subject of free will and the negation of determinism, and in the light of human free will, he proves the power of thought. The findings of this research, which has been done in a descriptive-analytical manner and based on library and documentary studies, show that the power of thought in human has been considered as a force to prove the power of free will in Rumi's theology.
