This research examines the concept of love in the thought of Roozbahan Baghli Shirazi, one of the greatest Iranian mystics. In Roozbahan’s thought, love is known not only as a human emotion, but also as a divine and transformative force that can lead humans towards perfection and truth. This research analyzes the different dimensions of love, including human love, chaste love, and divine love, and examines the stages of human spiritual journey in this regard. The findings show that human love acts as a starting point in the spiritual journey and can act as a driving force in the search for truth and perfection. Chaste love, the next stage, frees humans
from material bondage and leads them towards purity and chastity. Finally, divine love is known as the ultimate perfection that leads man to union with God and the realization of inner monotheism. This research also examines the impact of love on the individual and social lives of humans and its role in creating solidarity and empathy in society. The results of this research show that love, as a divine force, can help in the spiritual development of humans and lead to the creation of an atmosphere of love and friendship in society. Finally, love in Roozbahan's thought is introduced as a guide and source of inspiration in the spiritual journey and conduct of humans.
