Ibn Arabi on Divine Trust

According to Quran (72nd verse of Surah Al Ahzab), "God did indeed offer the Trust to the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains; but they refused to undertake it, being afraid thereof: but man undertook it; He was indeed unjust and foolish." There are various interpretations of this verse and the nature of Trust. The Trust is regarded by most interpreters of the Quran as a capacity, quality, or a belief which is fixed in human soul by God. But, for Ibn Arabi and based on his mysticism, these three, i.e., the Trust, the trustee (God who offers the Trust), and the Trust holder (the man who accepted the trust) are the same. This article, regarding Ibn Arabiʹs different remarks on the interpretation of this verse and based on his monism and the manifestation of God in the universe, tries to analyze his interpretation.
