This article examines the concept of the perfect man (al-insan al-kamil) as elucidated in the writings of Aziz Nasafi, a prominent scholar of medieval Islamic philosophy and mysticism. Nasafi’s philosophical framework integrates elements of Avicennian metaphysics and Sufi mysticism to articulate a comprehensive understanding of human perfection and spiritual realization. Drawing on primary texts and scholarly interpretations, this study analyzes Nasafi’s conception of the perfect man, exploring its metaphysical foundations, ethical dimensions, and implications for personal transformation within the Islamic philosophical tradition. This article aims to deepen scholarly understanding of Aziz Nasafi’s concept of the perfect man, elucidating its philosophical underpinnings, ethical dimensions, and implications for personal and spiritual development within Islamic philosophical thought
