In Islamic mysticism, the main discussion on philosophy and aim of creation concerns “love movement” which is explained on the basis of the Hadith, "I was a hidden treasure”. This hadith includes demonstration of mystical ontology. Love is the source of the manifestation of perfections of God, the Exalted. This manifestation in the abode of knowledge begins with scientific determinations, extends to the objective and external worlds and unites in the perfect man. In this paper, the chain of transmission of the above-mentioned hadith is examined briefly, the authenticity of its content is confirmed by Quranic verses, and thus, the ultimate aim of creation is made clear.

Love movement can be considered as the “current of manifestation stemming from the love of revelation and expression” which prevails in all divine names and all pillars of the universe. Conviction in this kind of movement is based on acceptance of ‘personal unity of being’ which Ibn Arabi achieved through intuition and Mulla Sadra demonstrated issues related to its cause and effect. On the basis of unity of being, the subject and ultimate goal of love movement is the Absolute Truth; for everything else other than the Truth is pure falsehood. Nevertheless, different interpretations of the ultimate goal of this movement in the descent and ascent trends have been expressed: love and generation of perfect man are two famous interpretations of the ultimate goal of love movement in the descent trend; while unity and annihilation of lover in beloved are two interpretations of ultimate goal of love movement in the ascent trend.
