Mullā Fanārī is among the theosophical mystics whose most profound mystical positions are articulated in his work Miṣbāḥ al-Uns. One significant aspect of his metaphysical inquiry concerns the reality of time. In discussing this subject, Fanārī presents two distinct interpretations of what constitutes temporal reality, followe d by his critical c ommentary on one of them. These two interpretations are: (1) the intelligible form of succession between the prior and the posterior, and (2) the very actuality of succession betw een the prior and the posterior.
Adopting a descriptive–analytical methodology, this study aims first to expound Fanārī’s position with precision and then to un dertake a critical evaluation thereof. The author’s view on time is analyzed and assessed through four principal considerations:
The lack of any intelligible justification for the quantitative re lation between time and the motion of the ninth celestial sph ere;
The incompatibility between the immaterial nature of succession (as posited in Fanārī’s first interpretation) and the inherently transi ent, corporeal essence of time itself;
The problem of circularity entai led in his second interpretation of tem poral reality; and
The inaccuracy of denying the particularized attribution of Divine Names and Attributes to material e ntities.
