Abstract
The treatise *Fi Haqiqat el-eshq* (Munesol oshshaq) by Sohrawardi (549-587 AH), while referring to the mystical manifestations of love and its states in the two stories of the creation of Adam and the Prophet Yusuf, provides the possibility of analysis and interpretation through the lens of Roland Barthes' five codes. Barthes' model is a systematic and creative approach to analyzing narratives and stories. Barthes views every text dynamic, and possessing semantic multiplicity, believing that the fertility and fluidity of the text distinguish one text from another. Sohrawardi, while discussing the mystery of the creation of beauty, love, and sorrow in a Neoplatonic manner and utilizing Zoroastrian thought and subtle Quranic points, delves into their place in Illuminationist cosmology and epistemology. Mystics such as Ghazzali and Baqli Shirazi consider beauty, love, and sorrow as fundamental elements of spiritual journeying, with love being the result of the manifestation of beauty and sorrow resulting from fear. This article, using an analytical-descriptive method, examines the hidden voices in Sohrawardi's * Fi Haqiqat el-eshq * and reveals aspects of the codes to the reader. Given the wide range of symbols the mentioned treatise is of the type of open texts, where the reader is not passive; rather, by employing their creativity, they utilize their own inventive method in an attempt to stabilize meaning. Barthes' suggestion for this type of reading is the invention of a method through which the text is deconstructed and disseminated, and the reader is present as the producer of the text.
