scrutiny of the mystical determinism in defence of satan

research about satan is always very important for scholars. in this respect, muslim mystics with the paraphrastic approaches, intuitional interpretations and introspectional knowledge, with mystical expressions, have an unrivaled position. some muslim mystics, especially the followers of sokr doctrine are justifying disobedience of satan (in prostrate to adam) with determinism (algebra) and the eternal will of allah. we know that the creation of an idea is influenced by discursive and non-discursive causes. the four main reasons of that idea (justifying disobedience of satan) are: belief in asharite algebra; belief in pantheism; superficial interpretation of quran; referencing to some hadiths. this article tries to analyze and specify the mentioned sources of that approach in some poetry and prose of mansur al-hallaj, ahmad ghazali, ayn al-quzat hamadani, rashid al-din meybodi, attar nishapury.
