Abstract

The article studies the influence on Hellenistic teachings upon religious-philosophical conception of Abu Yazid Bistami. Neoplatonism and Gnosticism, interacting with orthodox Islam, formed the basis on ontology and epistemology on early Islamic mysticism, and formed an original model on relationship between the individual and the Absolute. In the article author analyzed terminology that was used first is Bistami’s conception, but later has been widely spread in orthodox Islam and Sufism.The author reconstructs this doctrine that underlies the most of the religious and philosophical doctrines of the Middle East.
