Abstract

In the Siddiqin Argument, Mulla Sadra proves and concludes the existence of God by using the external truth of existence and its skepticism. Sheikh Ahmad Al-Ahsa'i raises several criticisms of this argument, which can be examined and criticized in three main areas: [1] The truth of existence; the criticisms of this part are due to the confusion of the concept of existence with its instance and the fallacy between their rulings. [2] The Siddiqism of Mulla Sadra's argument; the criticisms of this part are due to the confusion of the substance of the argument with its form. Therefore, due to the obviousness of the premises, Mulla Sadra's argument is an argument, not a controversy. Furthermore, this argument also has evidence in verses and narrations. Therefore, the proof of God is not limited to reasoning through verses [of the horizon and the soul] and his works. [3] Doubts about existence; the essences of things are subjective and abstract, which are abstracted from the limitation of existence in weak levels. Therefore, the essence is not uncreated or ancient, and its existence in weak levels does not contradict the proof of the existence of God.
