Positive psychology, with its focus on the positive aspects of human life, delves into topics such as individual strengths, optimism, life satisfaction, happiness, well-being, gratitude, compassion, self-esteem, self-confidence, and hope. By cultivating individual capacities, optimism, and life satisfaction, positive psychology seeks to enhance human well-being and happiness. This innovative approach, by shifting the focus from negativity to positivity, empowers individuals to view challenges as opportunities for growth and development. By changing oneʹs perspective from pessimism to optimism, significant changes can be made in overall life satisfaction and quality. In essence, this approach teaches individuals how to leverage challenges and problems as avenues for growth and progress.

The primary objective of this study is to identify and examine concepts and themes related to positive psychology within this literary work. In the first and second chapters, the theoretical foundations of the research are presented, including the definition and history of positive psychology, as well as a review of previous research in the field of psychological analysis of literary texts, particularly the Taqdis Treatise. In the third chapter, after a thorough study of the Taqdis Treatise, verses containing concepts related to joy, satisfaction, love, trust, worthiness, hope, and other positive psychological attributes are extracted and analyzed. Finally, in the fourth chapter, the findings from the text analysis are compared and examined with various positive psychology theories.
The results of this research indicate that the Taqdis Treatise contains concepts and insights that align with many of the principles and concepts of positive psychology. The findings of this research can contribute to a better understanding of the depth and breadth of psychological concepts in Persian literature and also enrich interdisciplinary studies in the fields of literature and psychology.
A comparative analysis of Niraqiʹs Taqdis Treatise with the principles of positive psychology reveals that many of the concepts presented in this classical work are consistent with the foundations of contemporary psychology. Centuries ago, Niraqi addressed topics such as optimism, gratitude, self-knowledge, and personal growth, which are now at the center of attention for positive psychologists. This congruence demonstrates that wisdom and mysticism are rooted in psychological principles, and the teachings of religious and mystical figures can be used as a rich resource to enhance mental health and human happiness. Therefore, combining Niraqiʹs perspectives with the findings of positive psychology can provide a comprehensive approach to improving quality of life and achieving lasting happiness.
