Abstract

Mulla Sadra, on the basis of the principality of existence, the unity of the dubiety and the substantial movement and Ibn Arabi, on the basis of the unity of existence, believe in congregation in the meaning of the distinct manifestation of interiors of creatures such as plant, animal, and human in the resurrection and after death on the vast earth that deserves the manifestation of divine light and the angels and prophets’ intuition that they bring together all creatures and creatures in different groups. They also believe that the distinct manifestation of interiors in congregation is due to this fact that the interiors of creatures are the result of acts effect and also acts originating from the sensual uses (passion), which these goals as a result of repetition of acts which penetrate to the inside and outside achievemently. Mulla Sadra has been greatly influenced by Ibn al-Arabi in expressing and commenting on congregation positions such as intercession and path, so that in his writings there is no new talk except the expression of philosophical terms and arguments, but in contrast to such debates; the debates as well as various groups of people in congregation, the position of the Resurrection and auditing, apart from the limited influence he has received from Ibn Arabi, has given many new and detailed views in the form of philosophical arguments, and about transpiration position he is the only one describing it.
