Unity of the Divine Acts from Mullah Sadra's Viewpoint

Monotheism in its all different dimensions, including Unity of Divine Acts, is central to all Islamic doctrines. The present paper tries to study and scrutinize Mullah Sadra's view on this issue by referring to his works through using a descriptive- analytical method. The aim of this article is to explore Mullah Ṣadrā’s innovations in expounding the important doctrine of Unity of Divine Acts.Although Mullah Sadra, like other philosophers, talks about a longitudinal relationship between God and creatures in some cases, he tries to offer a more precise explanation of the relationship of Unity of Divine Acts with man's free will and causes on the basis of theoretical mysticism. He believes that just as individual's existence is really attributed to the very individual it is also one of the Most High God's affairs. Therefore, knowledge, will, acts and all that an individual earns is really attributed to God. As a result, man's act in its highest and noblest form which is appropriate for the Essence of Divine Unity is among God's acts.
