Glamorizing a false behavior in the mind and vision of an individual is one of Satan's strategies to deceive and mislead us. The fundamental question is, what happens in the human cognitive system so that something ugly and unpleasant looks to them as beautiful, attractive and correct? The answer to this question should be sought in the stimulation of man's intrinsic faculties and the stimulation of his overwhelming emotions by Satan. The role of the two faculties of "estimation" and "imagination", one of which has a perceptive function and the other an acting function, is prominent. The estimation, as the king of animal powers, by conquering the creative faculty, plays the main role in glamorizing falsehood. Satan, as an external enemy, uses seven methods to deceive and seduce people, in all of which the two powers of estimation and imagination are abused. These seven methods are as follows: considering ostensible causes independent from the Real Cause, exciting emotions and feelings, stimulating desire and the sense of pleasure-seeking in human, justifying and making excuses for unworthy deeds, disrupting the cognitive system with sophistry and fallacy, taking advantage of psychological deficiencies and disorders, showing falsehood as insignificant. These techniques are also used by the external enemy in cognitive warfare. In this research, the role of the two forces of estimation and imagination in Satan's glamorization has been explored with a rational analytical method, analyzing the Quranic examples.

The current essay is a comparative study of the views of Avicenna and Mulla Sadra concerning the interaction of the Creative Faculty with other human perceptual faculties in three fields: i) interaction of creative faculty with external faculties, ii) interaction of creative faculty with internal faculties, iii) interaction of creative faculty with rational faculty. Both philosophers believe in the direct intervention of the creative faculty in the dreaming process and consider the role of this faculty for special humans to be like a type of revelation and inspiration. Moreover, they are unanimous that the interactions of creative faculty with external, internal and rational faculties facilitate some actions like an abstraction of generic natures, finding the lost forms of memory and imagination, influence on practical reason and also create the ground required for the veridical dream. They also believe that in order to improve the function of creative faculty and as a result, its better interaction; we can be benefitted from such solutions as strengthening the rational faculty, truthfulness and moral health. Despite some similarities, there are also some differences between the views of Avicenna and Mulla Sadra including the fact that Mulla Sadra contrary to Avicenna, considers creative faculty to be immaterial (ideal) and thus he replaces the theory of “presence” with the theory of “impression”.
