Gradation of existence is one of the most important philosophical principles in the transcendent philosophy of Mullā Ṣadrā, based on which we can answer this question, "what is the relationship between the three phenomena of awaking, sleep and death". This article shows that this relationship is longitudinal and gradational. Therefore, the difference between these states comes back to their commonality, which is: intensity and weakness in the concentration of the human faculties on the outer or inner aspects of the soul and the worlds corresponding to them. Awakening is the result of maximum attention of the soul's forces to the material world and external senses. When this attention weakens and the soul pays attention to the imaginal world, sleep occurs. Finally, with the complete disconnection of the soul from the material world, death –in its common use- occurs. In another sense, however, due to the substantial movement of the soul, death is a constant state that dominates other states. In a deeper view and based on the personal unity of the soul, awakening, sleep, and death are manifestations of the soul, and while maintaining a gradational relationship, they are unified with the soul and with each other.

One of the most important mystical ideas that have been common among mystics for a long time and have been expressed in different ways is the subject of the unity of existence. This idea of monotheism, influenced by Muslims' belief in the oneness of God, has existed in the words of mystics since the beginning, and traces of this type of thinking can be seen in the texts of mystic poetry and prose. In the works of Ibn Arabi, this topic becomes a theory under the title of "unity of existence". In his works, Ibn Arabi explained the theory of the unity of existence and explained and expanded it. This subject has been widely discussed in mystical works after Ibn Arabi with terms such as "unity", "multiplicity", "unity in plurality", "multiplicity in unity", "unity of intuition" etc. Mystics and poets following Ibn Arabi's ideas, after him, have tried to explain this issue in their works and have turned to allegory to explain this topic. Asiri Lahiji is one of the commentators of Ibn Arabi's thoughts. The unity of existence is one of the most important themes of his works. He has used various similes to explain his thoughts of existential unity. In this research, we intend to analyze the allegories of the unity of existence in the works of Asiri Lahiji with the descriptive-analytical method and library tools. The purpose of the research is to answer the question of how the unity of existence is expressed in Asiri's thought .

The concept of unity is one of the spiritual, ambiguous and fundamental concepts in the field of mysticism and philosophy. And metaphor is the main and most important tool that the mystic poets, including Biddle Dehlavi and Rumi, have used to make tangible abstract mystical concepts such as unity. In this study, we will examine and analyze unity in the Masnavis of these two great poets (Erfan, Telesm e heyrat, Mohit e azam, Towre marefat and Masnavi e manavi) based on the theory of cognitive metaphor. After identifying the types and cognitive functions of metaphors, we will determine the views and ideas of Biddle and Rumi through them. After examining the works of both poets, we find that Rumi used more metaphors referring to natural, accessible, and religious things; Biddle, on the other hand, used more metaphors about human artifacts. Accordingly, in line with their pedagogical intentions in using metaphors, Rumi's main aim is to make the unit more comprehensible to the audience; but Biddle has also sought drama and thematization. Both put more emphasis on the use of some metaphors under the influence of their geographical environment, lifestyle and life experiences.

Ibn Gabirol (a Jewish philosopher of the 11th century CE) enumerates different divisions for the concept of "being" in his book, “Fons Vitae". At first glance, some of these divisions seem incompatible with each other. Based on the findings of this research, Ibn Gabirol considers “being” to be equivalent to “unity”. By focusing on this concept, different divisions of being can be reconciled. God (Unity the Creator) is at the head of the hierarchy of beings and after that, there is “what is possible” (unity the created). Every “possible” is made up of two beings: matter and form. According to Ibn Gabirol, the form is the same as unity, but matter (material being) is neither unity nor plurality, although it can be the subject and sustainer of unity and plurality.

Ibn Gabirol has several different interpretations of the meaning of “being” and its types. On the one hand, he attributes “being” to God or “First Essence”, and on the other hand, he attributes it to “universal matter” and “universal form” and not God. The Jewish philosopher, also, has different interpretations about the value of “being” and its meaning. But how can these different interpretations and statements be united? Is it possible to achieve a coherent philosophy from Ibn Gabirol's ontology?

The issue of "being" in the philosophy of Ibn Gabirol is not raised by the commentators of this philosopher and his book, “Fons Vitae”. Most of the commentators have not tried to specify the type of being of matter and determine its relation to the “universal form” and “First Essence”. It is only “Sarah Pessin” who has tried to determine the place of matter and explain the ontology of Ibn Gabirol in her book: "Theology of Desire". But she has abandoned the duality of matter and form and has considered “universal matter” to be higher and more valuable than form, and this is exactly what is not consistent with Ibn Gabirol's philosophy and the text of “Fons Vitae”.

This article’s method is "structural textualism". In this method, some internal contradictions of a specific text are considered and only based on the text and its content and rules, and without considering external assumptions, it is tried to dissolve the contradictions or solve the problems.

In Ibn Gabirol's ontological system, “matter” has a special place and cannot be compared with Ibn Sina's "quiddity" (Mahiyat). According to Ibn Gabirol, universal matter and universal form are equal and none is superior to the other. Only God is the source and creator of both and for this reason, God is above them. This point of view is opposed to the dominant view of the Platonic philosophers (such as Muslims, Jews, Christians, and even pagans) who consider matter as the source of ambiguity and change, and sometimes equal to privation. Ibn Gabirol has a different view of “matter” and believes that matter has the highest ontological rank after God and is more valuable (dignior) than all beings in the world (from Intelligence to Soul, Nature, etc.).

The foundation of the coherence of the Jewish philosopher's ontology and the relationship between the types of being is the concept of "unity". The statement "being is unity" is the fundamental statement of Ibn Gabirol's ontology. Unity the Creator or God, which is "one", is the unity that is self-sufficient and has inherent consistency. This pure unity emanates its unity to the world. This emanated unity (unity the created) is called “universal form”. But the emanated unity is not self-sufficient and needs a sustainer, which is a “universal matter”. Matter in itself is neither unity nor multiplicity, but the origin of the realization of unity and multiplicity, and for this reason, it is related to unity. All beings in the universe can be analyzed into matter and form. God is "one" or unity that is self-sufficient and is the origin of all numbers or beings. From this self-sufficient being, another “one” is created, which is conjunct with matter. This substance causes the multiplication of this secondary unity and makes different numbers which are created from "one". Therefore, the only beings that have real existence are:The first essence (unity the creator and self-sufficient)
universal form (unity the created and non-self-sufficient)
universal matter (the sustainer of form).
The “First Essence”, which is “pure unity”, is called “absolute being” (esse tantum). The universal form and universal matter are called universal beings (esse universalis) and all other entities that are reduced to matter and form are called beings (esse).
 The relationship between matter and being is as paradoxical and ambiguous as the relationship between matter and unity. Matter is not the substance of unity, but is the sustainer of unity, and for this reason, it is indirectly called “unity”. In the same way, matter is called “being” because of its connection with being.

The concept which is able to solve the problem of “being” in Ibn Gabirol's philosophy is “unity". Just as all beings are numbers and numbers are all created from the repetition of “one”, beings are also the result of the repetition of “being” and finally reduced to universal matter and form and the first essence.

Preservation of the congregation is one of the authentic Islamic teachings that has always had a special place among Muslims. A doctrine that is better known as Vahdat, today. The infallible imams have given many orders to protect the congregation and prevent division. But it is interesting that the cruel rulers have generally abused it as a pretext and in sometimes, as a lever of political pressure. Meanwhile, in one of the most dangerous periods of Islamic history, Imam Hussain has included the doctrine of protecting the Muslim congregation in her movement and has mentioned it. His words and actions on his way contain indications, we can say that we can draw a picture of the preservation of the congregation by studying them. Therefore, the question is what are the Attributes of unity and congregation in the scope of Imam Hussain's uprising? This research tries to extract the elements and coordinates of this principle by studying the implications of the historical and narrative statements related to the uprising of Imam Hussain. Then by highlighting and putting together the obtained components, draw a multi-dimensional picture of it; An image whose most important component is "Imam".

With the victory of the Islamic revolution and the clergy`s occupation in the political affairs arising from it, the political functions have originated from the religious functions. Investigating the single category of religion and politics and the establishment of the Islamic system is one of the primary goals of this research, which tries to answer the question of what kind of objective and subjective relationship between politics and the clergy has emerged in the establishment of the Islamic Revolution, and what functions the clergy has. In response to this question, the hypothesis is based on the fact that maintaining and strengthening national-Islamic unity and solidarity is one of the most important effective institutional functions that highlights the role of the clergy in the development of the Islamic system. The findings of the research, which is analytical and based on the theoretical framework of functionalism, show that protection, support and political expediency in the direction of the establishment of the Islamic system, strengthen the institutional areas in the social and political fields.

The social approach of Eric Landowski's about interactive sign-semantic, which is presented in continuation of Greimas' aesthetic beliefs of guizzo , is a productive approach in literary criticism. The researchers of this study have used this approach in analyzing adaptation of the corporality sign meanings of romantic in Forough Farrokhzad’s poems which are transcendental.The interaction of the discourse partners in the process of the poet's romantic discourse creates infinite meanings by metamorphosis of the corporality signs. the source of meaning creation occurre with union of me and other.Corporeal subject and corporeal object create a dynamic and generative texture in a life experience with eachother and the surrounding world in phenomenological understanding. this is in a collection of dynamic physical signs that create a generative texture in an ecstatic text . the movement of chain of ambiguous combinations leads to a pleasant ecstasy in the union of discourse partners.the authors have investigated three poems named "Vasl". "Fathe bagh" and "Bad ma ra ba khod khahad bord" with a holistic criticism. The result of investigation was that the romantic interaction of discourse partners with physical sign-meanings has been continuous in order to achieve unity and creation of new meanings.

The Gospel of Thomas, a recent discovery within the Nag Hammadi Library, has captured the attention of scholars in recent decades. While some Church leaders consider it heretical, most researchers regard it as an authentic text from early Christianity, containing genuine words attributed to Jesus the Nazarene and his esoteric teachings. This unofficial gospel, despite its similarities to official Christian texts, reveals fundamental theological differences. In this study, we utilize passages from the Gospel of Thomas to highlight one such distinction concerning the concept of the "Kingdom." To clarify the notion of the "Kingdom," this gospel employs various analogies, including mustard, fire, dough, and shepherd. Unlike the official gospels, it asserts that the Kingdom is not an apocalyptic entity but rather a non-historical concept—something present in the here and now, something internal. The Gospel of Thomas posits that the Kingdom belongs to the Father and is accessible to the poor who earnestly pursue the goal of self-awareness. These are wayfarers who, akin to children, trample selfishness beneath their feet, uniting the inner and outer realms to overcome internal conflicts and achieve unity.

“The Rule of the One (Qāʻîdâh Al-Wāḥîd)” regarded as one of the fundamental philosophical rules, which is not only directly or indirectly connected with several philosophical issues about God, cosmos, knowledge and so on, but also some thinkers have used it in other sciences such as Physics (Ṭâbīʻîyyāt) and Jurisprudence (Ûṣūl al-Fîqh). Although historically rooted in ancient Greek philosophy, the Rule of the One, like other philosophical rules, after the introduction of the Science of Philosophy into the Islamic world, was dealt with by Muslim philosophers. The Rule of the One indicates that from a one simple cause only one effect is produced. The Muslim philosophers have often used this rule to explain how creatures are produced from a one supreme cause. However, this rule in that is related to God and His agency, can be considered as a Kâlāmī (theological) problem. Hence, most of Mûtâkâllîmūn (theologians) have discussed on it in their writings.In spite of the significance of this rule and its several usages in real and conventional sciences, the Muslim thinkers don’t agree on it. So, in discussing on the Rule of the One, some Muslim philosophers, such as Ibn Sīnā, Sûrâwârdī and Mûllā Ṣâdrā, using the foundations of their philosophical systems, not only have accepted and proved this rule, but also have employed it in their philosophical views. But many Mûtâkâllîmūn (theologians) and mystics and even some philosophers have not accepted this rule, and consequently, have criticized it. Apparently, no book has been written about this rule by the early Muslim thinkers, but in the writings of the later Muslim thinkers, there are many works related to this rule. Of course, as far as I have searched, in most of these works, their authors have tried to criticize the Rule of the One, and in a few works, this rule has been defended. Since the acceptance or rejection of the Rule of the One has very important implications for the philosophical epistemological and cosmological issues, and many philosophers’ belief in this rule has been one of the main causes of the criticisms of the opponents of philosophy against the Muslim philosophers, it is necessary to classify, analyze and evaluate the criticisms arisen against this rule in order to respond to them, based on the foundations of Transcendent Philosophy. After classifying and examining the philosophical criticisms arisen against the Rule of the One, it was found out that, in general, these criticisms either have arisen from denying or rejecting one of the philosophical foundations of this rule (Kâlāmī (theological) criticisms) or from considering this rule as incompatible with some other philosophical rules (philosophical criticisms). In this paper, I have tried to classify, analyze and evaluate, by a descriptive-analytical method, the philosophical criticisms arisen against the Rule of the One. The findings of this paper show that these criticisms can generally be classified in two main kinds of criticism: the first kind is related to the criticisms which have been arisen against the reasons for the Rule of the One, and in which those reasons have been considered as insufficient for proving this rule; and the second kind is related to the criticisms which, apart from the reasons for proving the Rule of the One, have considered this rule as incompatible with some other philosophical rules.According to what has been discussed in this paper, it can be said that   For some contemporary scholars of philosophy, the Rule of the One is incompatible with some philosophical doctrines, such as “The Simple Reality’s being All theThings”, “The particular and immediate knowledge of God to things”, “The soul’s being, in its unity, all its faculties”, “The simplicity of the essence of Necessary Being”, “The immediate relation of the existents with the Necessary Being”, and “God’s being the Willing”. 2. Some other scholars of philosophy, taking a historical approach to the Rule of the One and its origin in Greek philosophy, believe that this rule is confined to the natural causes. They argue that Muslim philosophers, such as Ibn Sīnā and Mûllā Ṣâdrā, should not applied this rule to the Divine agent, especially to the Necessary Being.3. Some others, emphasizing on some philosophical doctrines such as “the absence of necessary concomitance between the conceptual multiplicity and the extensional multiplicity” and “the possibility of analyzing a simple essence into various concepts”, consider the production of many effects from a one simple cause as possible, and thereby, criticize the Rule of the one.4.Finally, Some other scholars, based on some philosophical foundations, regard the essence of Necessary Being as the Comprehensive of all the Attributes of Perfection, which implies the possibility of inclusion of the multiplicity of existential perfections in a simple essence. At the end, I have concluded that in most of the philosophical criticisms arisen against the Rule of the One, we can see two kinds of error: “the confusion between the Concept and the Extension”; and presenting an incorrect and inaccurate image of the philosophical premises of the Rule of the One, such as “the principle of congruence”, “the impossibility of production of the simultaneous effects from a simple agent”, and “the necessity of differentiation between cognitive and objective multiplicity”.

Soleimani in creating unity and security of the Islamic world. This research was conducted using the qualitative analysis method. The sampling method was purposeful and the data collection method was interviews with Sunni managers. In this context, by using the coding of the interviews during the process of open, central and selective coding, the following findings were obtained, and three patterns were extracted from all the interviews. The components of the behavior pattern of Sardar Martyr Soleimani from the point of view of Sunnis include: courage, always being in the presence of God, defense of models, effort, equality of speech and behavior, deliberation and service to the people, and the components of serving the people, sincerity, defending the oppressed, Equality and fraternal behavior with people, protection of Islam and Muslims are extracted in interaction with Sunnis and their effective behavioral components in establishing peace and security in the Islamic world, which include: strategic performance, thorn in the eye of enemies, political thinking, stability and security in The region and elites in military sciences and their effective behavioral components in establishing unity in the Islamic world included: creating unity, defending Islam and the land, promoting the culture of resistance, using all forces, eliminating disagreements. Therefore, according to the extracted dimensions, Sardar's interaction with Sunnis can be undeniable in creating unity and security in the Islamic world.,

The type of interactions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) with others is very important. Observance of ethics in the life is one of the most important behavioral characteristics of the Prophet (PBUH). The main question of the article is what was the moral Sira of the Prophet (PBUH) and her behavior towards others? and did prophetic ethics have an effect on people's convergence and social solidarity? The analysis of the Primary sources, especially the sources of History, Sira and Ḥadīth, and the use of the descriptive-analytical method show that the observance of ethics and moral affairs was of particular importance in the life of the Prophet (PBUH). The Prophet (PBUH) respected all people, and did not see himself as separate from people. He was a tolerant person and forgave those who mistreated him. The Prophet (PBUH) respected equality in dealing with people, and no one was superior to others in his opinion, except for having piety (taqwā). Observance of these matters has attracted people to him and has been effective in the formation of a Unified Islamic Ummah. The disputes that arose after the death of the Prophet (PBUH) in the Islamic society regarding the succession, although it could create a serious challenge in social solidarity, but the management of the situation by Imam Ali (AS) removed this serious danger.

In contrast to other theories, the theory of holistic view has not been properly considered in Islamic philosophy, especially transcendental wisdom. The ideas about the existence of the whole or the total as something derived from individuals, in order to confirm or reject its real existence, are implicitly acceptable during some issues that arise in the Supreme Wisdom and according to their requirements. Exploring these related theories gives two conflicting positions of Mulla Sadra's theory about the being of the "whole": Some expressions clearly express the negation of the existence of the whole, Mulla Sadra, in the position of criticizing Ibn Sina's proofs of the falsification of sequence and Suhrodi's proof of necessity, which take the existence of the whole as the premise of their proof, and also proofs It runs away from the plateau that has been set up to prove the existence of the whole and emphasizes that nothing but unity exists outside, and multiplicity is not compatible with existence. and others implicitly or explicitly acknowledge its existence. some other expressions of Mulla Sadra, contrary to the above opinion, are in line with the acceptance of the external existence of the whole; That is, his expressions have provided a platform for description and interpretation dependent on the external existence of the whole, each of which is examined in detail.  The present article aims to use analytical-critical method, after considering Mulla Sadra's conflicting expressions in this regard, by paying attention to the coordinates of the principle of gradation of being, to criticize her point of view and to verify the theory of holism. The result of the research shows that the belief in the existence of the whole is one of the essentials of the principle of gradation of being. Longitudinal and latitudinal multiplicity that exists with regard to the three basic components of the principle of suspicion; That is, unity, multiplicity and objectivity of both can be explained, it shows the true existence of the whole as certain and its negation and the exclusivity of the existence of the whole in the existence of its individuals is incompatible with the coordinates of existence. The whole is a mental validity that is considered by differentiating and considering the plurality of people and not the plurality of gradation, and in this mental and epistemological consideration, ontological explanations, including gradation, do not interfere much. If someone believes in the originality of the essence or the difference of existence in the external objective truth or has a special doubt or special gradation, can credit all of them. This mental validity does not have an objective realization, and this is different from plurality or unity.
