المستخلص

The research discusses the concept of dialectical mysticism, theology and the hermeneutic ‎method in the theology of "Hugh of Balma". Hugh uses a hermeneutic method known as ‎‎"spiritual interpretation", which is a mystical interpretation of a word, passage, or text ‎from the Bible or the patristic tradition, especially the biblical exegesis that discovers ‎allusions to heaven or the afterlife. The reason for choosing this research is due to the ‎mystical approach and the rational method in which "Hugh" combines spiritual experience ‎and revelation with philosophical evidence that stems from the spiritual principles of ‎faith. Hugh puts the foundation for his religious philosophy based on the idea of divine ‎knowledge. Knowledge is what leads man to the First Source of the universe. Therefore, ‎in order to reach the first source, a person must know this source first in order to take the ‎path that leads us to Him. Hugh identifies three stages for man to follow that lead us to ‎the beginning of the path to the Supreme Being. These stages are (purification - ‎illumination - union). When a person passes these stages, he reaches the highest stage that ‎places him in front of the First Source of the universe. The stages laid down by Hugh are ‎called paths, and it is these paths that lead the soul and the knowing soul to the unity ‎with the Creator and consequently union with the First Source from which all beings ‎originate.‎
