Abstract

"concomitance" in the custom means "physical accompaniment"; but the divine concomitance in the following verse "…and He is with you wherever you are"(57:4) cannot be as same as  human concomitance with other objects. Before Mulla Sadra, the commentators considered the Quranic term مع"with" as equivocal term. They have numerous justifications for the meaning of the “concomitance”. But Mulla Sadra by designing the "Self-Subsisting Concomitance", open a new in philosophy. Sadra's philosophical-mystical worldview, with his interpretive method (separation of concept from instance), implies the content participation. Hence, the core of the semantic meaning of the term is "absolute companion" which is found in different ways. Of course, criticisms have been made on interpreting the term Concomitance to "Self-Subsisting Concomitance", such as "incompatibility with the meaning of the verse" and "imposition of mystical presuppositions". The theory not only can solve the incompatibility of the apparent meaning of the verse with theistic principles, but also, it is capable to provide a system of meaning to explain different aspects of divine concomitance.
