Mysticism and Sufism is one of the notable issues regarding culture and civilization of Islamic Iran. Theosophy and mysticism and educational activities of this group have been considered by some scholars of East and West; it has been shown that Sufis in their education have provided a special knowledge of the God, human and his characteristics, achieving the man’s perfect place, and understanding the world and its various attractions; and they have attracted many God lovers towards this direction. Using descriptive methodology and library and archival method of data collection in this research, primary and secondary sources of Sufi’s educational textbooks have been studied and information have been provided on their customs and activities. It seems the purpose of the Sufis educational system is the understanding of human about their true position in the universe so that they would find the best way for living.
