The Causality in the Mohyeddin ebn Arabiʹs Mysticism

The causality is a. basic and living issue of philosophy and philosophers have dealt with it in details but Ebn Arabi as a mystic has no obligation to discuss this matter independently because the object of mysticism is monotheism and monotheist-i.e., perfect human being. Therefore, we must search his words and gather their consequences to write on this matter. In this article which aims at determining the Ebn Arabiʹs view about acceptance or rejection of the causality, so this manner is followed. That is why we referee to his most important books i.e. Fotuhat Makkiyeh and Fosus Al-hikam and also his commentatorsʹ writings such as Geisari, Jami and Sharani. After gathering the statements about the causality, analyzing, classifying and extracting the rational - logical consequences of them, the finding is that Ebn Arabi rejects any kind of causality in the nature (Alame Shahadah) but he accepts the causality between God (Hag) and creature (khalg) although he calls it emanation, manifestation and determination.
