The term of ilāh-i mu'taqad/the god as the subject of belief in Ibn al-'Arabī

Ibn Arabī (560/1165-638/1240), known as "Muhyiddīn Ibn al-'Arabī" in our country, is one of the authors who brought many works to the sufi world. Ibn Arabī who has transformed what he knows scientifically into the experience with mystical methods such as mushahada and murâqaba (self-observation) has presented an analysis of human beings through himself. The concept of ilāh-i Mu'taqad, one of the original products of this analysis, expresses representation of God. The study consists of an introduction, two chapters, and a conclusion. In the first chapter, the representations of God are emphasized. The representations of god, which have been adopted from the time when mankind was a guest to this world until the time Ibn Arabī lived, are presented in a general framework in this chapter. The second part is devoted to the perspective of Ibn Arabī. Firstly, the subject of Wujud and stages of it which constitutes the essence of the concept of ilāh-i Mu'taqad is explained. Subsequently, the two main elements that determine the point of view of the ilāh-i Mu'taqad, that is, the subject of tanzih and tashbih, are dealt with according to the understanding of Ibn Arabī. Then, on this basis, the concept of ilāh-i Mu'taqad are explained.
