An Investigative Look at Allameh Ghazviniʹs Notations on "The True Nature of the Ultimate Quest in Bringing the Universe into Existence"

Allame Rafie Ghazvini has three short Arabic notations on " Alghabasat" written by MirDamad. The first notation is on the theologianʹs interpretations of the true nature of the ultimate quest in bringing the universe into existence. The Godʹs ultimate quest in bringing the universe into existence has been the subject of discussion in Muslim scholastic philosophy, theosophy and mysticism. Some theologians have denied Godʹs ultimate quest, while some others have proposed that the ultimate quest is to benefit the creatures. Both of these views are criticized by the theosophians. From the theosophiansʹ point of view denying any ultimate quest would necessitate preponderance without a preponderator and benefiting others would lack the status of purpose. In spite of their agreement on this issue, theorsophians differ in their views on ultimate quest. Some have interpreted it as ʹdivine knowledge of the goodness system, some as the ʹholy divine natureʹ and some others as just ʹbenevolence and generosityʹ.What is common to all these is that all interpretations come down to the true essence of divine unity. The present article intends to investigate this issue consistent with Allameh Rafie Ghazviniʹs notations.
