Abstract

One of the ways of expressing facts that are common and intelligible use to the general is the allegoric and symbol. One of these allegoric is the light. In the pre-Islamic Iranian tradition, light has had a special place among the mystics and theosophies of Fahlavi. In the post-Islamic tradition also, It has been the same. Because God is the light of heaven and earth, and A Surah is referred to as the Light. Accordingly, Suhrawardi constructs his illuminated philosophy on the basis of light, and he places the series and gradation of divine lights form the light of lights to the dusky world gradationally. In the illuminated perspective, Farah as the divine confirmation and the divine illumination gradationally in the material world contains plants to full human (al-Insān al-Kāmil). Iranian artist, both before and after Islam, as they work in this space, they know this and try to show. One of the most suitable places for expressing the illuminations and divine Farah is miniature that show it around the head of humans or the Saints. The expression of holy aura and aura of luminous has been researched, but its illuminated and symbolic expression independently has been less studied. In this research, we try to express at first the illuminated expression of holy aura and In the following adapt it to the miniature
