Abstract

All philosophical scholars in the Islamic world have ruled for the perfection of The Transcendent God and defects of other creatures and consider God as the just perfection and absolute perfection. But Sadr –ol-Motahlin believes that every existent is just perfection and no perfection of any creature can be denied. The view of Mulla Sadra has been met with two kinds of commentary from the Sadrai’s commentators that, of course, is the origin of these two interpretations of his own person. The first interpretation is that although all beings have all the perfections, but the way in which perfections are different and they have severity and weakness. The second interpretation, by denying this distinction, suggests the distinction between them in the hiding and appearing of perfections. The first interpretation is consistent with the system of modulation of existence and the second interpretation is more consistent with the look of existential unity and the system of modulation in the manifestations of existence. In this paper, which is provided by documentary and logical analysis, with the annulment of the first interpretation, the proof of the second interpretation is discussed. It also criticizes some of the contemporaries for reconciling these two interpretations.
