Abstract

‎." According to this theory, a work of art is the result of the inseparable unity of intuition and ‎expression; intuition as the immediate and living perception of truth, and expression as the ‎necessary and spontaneous embodiment of that perception in a sensuous-symbolic form. This ‎theoretical framework allows for the understanding of the linguistic and rhetorical elements of ‎the text not as decorative tools, but as necessary manifestations of intuitive expression. The ‎research method is descriptive-analytical and based on qualitative analysis of prominent ‎narrative, allegorical, and metaphorical examples from the introduction to Fihi Ma Fihi. In this ‎regard, stylistic and rhetorical components such as norm-breaking, the internal music of ‎language, and imagery have been analyzed in direct relation to the moment of mystical ‎perception and the process of artistic expression. The research findings show that Rumi, in the ‎introduction to Fihi Ma Fihi, immediately and simultaneously embodies the moment of mystical ‎intuition in language; in such a way that rhetorical elements are not mediators for conveying ‎meaning, but rather the form of meaning's realization itself. Linguistic norm-breaking allows for ‎a break from conceptual logic, and the music of language strengthens the emotional and ‎intuitive unity of the text. The result is that Rumi's mystical prose is a prominent example of the ‎realization of the "intuition-expression" theory within an Islamic cultural-mystical context, and ‎demonstrates that beauty in this prose is not an end in itself, but a way to open the horizon of ‎knowledge and create inner transformation in the audience‎
