Analysis and Critique of the Reasons of Mystics for the Goal of Creation
Author(s):
Abstract:
One of the minute epistemological topics in theological studies is Gods goal of creating the world. Islamic theologians consider Gods goal of creating the universe as bringing benevolence to creation. Philosophers believe that because God has all the perfect qualities; is the absolute reason for creation; and the thing caused inevitably does not contradict it, bestowal of grace, bringing into existence, and creating the best world order by God is obligatory. In the view of mystics, creation has taken place based on Gods love for being known, and the entirety of existence are the manifestations of Gods essence who have no existence other than the existence of God. God loved His infinite perfect qualities. Thus, He manifested Himself in the form of different worldly phenomena so that by seeing His own beauty as reflected in His action, which is indeed the creation of the world, He would take pleasure and the goal of creation is nothing beyond His unique essence. In this paper, from among all the views, using a library based method, answering the main question about the viewpoint of mystics in this regard was attended to. By posing questions and problems about it and the consequences of accepting such an outlook, it was revealed that the issue needs to be reviewed and referred to the teachings of the Holy Quran as well as the narrations of the Infallibles.
