The aim of this study is to design a mystical teacher education system aligned with the epistemology of Hafez. To this end, Hafez’s mystical poetry has been analyzed and inferred through interpretive and deductive methods. The findings indicate that religious teachings have a profound influence on the foundational elements of teacher education. The ultimate aim of education is closeness to God (qurb) and maintaining a relationship with the Divine. Along this path, several attainable intermediate goals exist, including propositional (ḥuṣūlī) and intuitive (ḥuḍūrī) knowledge, understanding of love, and self-knowledge. The curriculum content is God-centered and includes self-knowledge and purification of the soul, the expression of love, the creation of beauty, acquisition of various sciences, and study of the Qur’an and Hadith. Instructional methods, influenced by these goals, emphasize spiritual purification, contemplation, and love. Teachers trained in such a system benefit from spiritual-psychological serenity, universal love, inner intuition, and theistic belief.
