The Interpretation of the "Market of Paradise" in Ibn ‘Arabī's Mysticism

The concept of form (ṣūrat) is a major key to understanding the market of paradise according to Ibn ‘Arabī. The view of the early mystics on this subject is limited to a brief description, which is also due to the fame of the hadith about the "market of paradise" in the Islamic tradition. From the viewpoint of Ibn ‘Arabī, who has dealt with the market of heaven more than others and in an exclusive way, various mystical functions and thoughts have been inferred and analyzed, which are as follows: 1. the market of heaven as a means of communication with other worlds; 2. the market of paradise a place to ask for everything; 3. the difference between buying and selling in this market; 4. the difference between the material world and the immaterial world is conventional, not real; 5. the market of heaven in barzakh or after the resurrection; 6. the market of heaven and the soul's evolution; 7 the market of heaven and the expansion of divine knowledge. What ties this concept to Ibn ‘Arabī's thought is his detailed epistemological explanation, which seems unique in some cases.
