A comparative study on Nietzsche's nihilism and similar concepts in sufi literature

The existence of God, the idea of the afterlife, the ideal human type and its opposite, the meaning of life, the value of time, what it is have been questioned by philosophical approaches throughout history. One of these philosophical approaches is mysticism and nihilism. Sufism and nihilism have differences in terms of the sources they feed on and the civilizations they were born in. However, there are also similarities in some of the concepts they deal with. The aim of this study is to show that people, regardless of civilization, have common problems even if they offer different prescriptions while making sense of life, to reveal the similar and different aspects of the concepts in question, and to look at these concepts from a more objective and broad perspective.Keywords: Sufism, Nihilism, Zoroastrian, Sufi, Perfect Human Being, Superman, Fenâ, Will to Power
