Abstract
Rumi’s view of the principle of causality is of great importance due to the legacy left for him from his predecessors’ philosophical and theological schools. There are two seemingly opposing views regarding Rumi's principle of causality: the rejection of causation and approval of causation. However, the analysis of these two viewpoints makes us to conclude that although he tries to represent his view of causality as opposite to that of Ash'arites and yet to justify Ash'arites’s determinism by showing the superiority of mystical determinism over logical free will while admitting human will, he is not successful in his justification and finally lapses into the very Al-Ash'arite’s standpoint, that is the rejection of causality in the universe and refutation of free will. Keywords: Rumi, causality, determinism and free will
