Abstract
Manaqib al-Arefin, authored by Shams al-Din Ahmad Aflaki, describes the life of Mawlawi family and the elders of Mawlawiyya Order. In this book, Aflaki portrayed mythological and surreal characters of the predecessors and contemporaries. Many mystical issues of Manaqib al-Arefin are consistent with mythological concepts; and mythological beliefs play a role in the formation of the contents of this mystical biography. This research has raised the question of which components of mystical themes of Manaqib al-Arefin are proportional to the mythological themes of Eliade. In this paper, Manaqib al-Arefin has been analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method and a mythological approach based on Eliade’s perspective to explain the extent of conformity between mysticism and myth. The results show that in this work, the hero has already been designated as a savior according to the archetypes. In Mawlawi’s life cycle, one can clearly see the stages of purification, renewal of life and manifestation; he performs the ritual of holy washing before entering his subconscious domain and prepares himself to join the assembly of holiness, and on his inner journey, he transcends the human requirements and attains the witnessing of God Exalted, the angels, prophets, and spirits. Moreover, in Manaqib al-Arefin, the roof of school and the bath pool are exemplary types of the center of the world where the earthly world and spiritual world join.

Abstract
Happiness as the goal and end of human life has been continuously considered throughout history. The concept of happiness as one of the basic human needs is understood and inferred in different ways. Most people consider happiness to be equal to pleasure, and some consider happiness to be the same as thoughtful life; In Sufism, happiness is the result of great spiritual expansion. The important point is that there is a common factor in all the definitions of happiness, and that is the feeling of satisfaction and contentment; Therefore, the feeling of mental comfort has a direct relationship with happiness. Jalaluddin Mohammad Mowlavi (604-672 A.H.) is one of the mystics whose words radiate joy. He considers Sufism as a way to receive the joy of the heart when sad factors come down, and he puts forward the components that lead a person to live happily ever after. Epicurus (341-270 B.C), the philosopher of the Hellenistic era of ancient Greece, who is known as the "philosopher of happiness", also presents a practical method that leads to happiness and happiness by considering sustainable pleasure as the ultimate human good. to be Now, the question is, what kind of pleasure is the pleasure of Epicurus, and does happiness from Epicurus' point of view and happiness from Mowlavi's point of view have common aspects or not?
Method: In this article, an attempt has been made to check whether there is a connection between Epicurean hedonism and hedonism from Mowlavi's point of view by means of library study and data comparison and analysis.
Findings and results: By carefully studying Epicurus' opinions and thoughts and his practical life, we can come to the conclusion that the pleasure from Epicurus' point of view is not only material and fleeting pleasures, but also like other moral theorists. The ancients expressed the goal as eudaimonia or happiness. The goal of his philosophy is to reach a stable state. In this way, man tries to achieve ataraxia by creating limits for his temporary and unstable pleasures. On the other hand, the practical philosophy of Epicurus expresses the components that have aspects in common with some views of Muslim mystics, including Mowlavi.
