the system of creation in Quran and narratives and the assessment of Ibn ‘Arabi’s school with it (with the focus on the world of pure Spirits and the world of pre_existence)

The subject of creation has always been one of the most important and common concerns of thought. Everyone wants to know when and for what the universe was created, what its background and what the ultimate fate of the universe is. When these issues are solved for human being, he becomes calm and life becomes meaningful to him, and he feels pleasure from his life and his existence. Therefore, in the present research, entitled “The system of creation in Koran and narratives and the assessment of Ibn Arabi’s school with it (with the focus on the world of pure spirits and the world of pre_existence)”, the system of creation and the stages of the emergence of the world is explained from the point of view of Koran and narratives. In the first chapter, after presenting generalities  we have explained the characteristics of the existence of God and the creatures by relying on religious sources, and clearly stated that there is no similarity and sameness  between the existence of God and His creatures. In the second chapter, we have defined the scheme of creation system and the stages of the emergence of the creatures in Koran and narratives that have not been systematically presented so far. This system, which has the seven stages, on the basis of its initiation and accomplishments, is successively included: the world of the light, the material world,  the world of pure spirits, the world of the pre_ existence, the world, the intermediary world, and the next world. Each of the worlds,  their characteristics and their relationships with each other were discused. In the third chapter, we have analyzed the theoretical foundations of creation and models of the interpretation of existence in Ibn Arabi’s school. In the final chapter, we have compared the view of this great mystic and his school commentators on the subject of the world of  pure spirits and the pre_existence with  Koran and the narratives. At last, we have come to the conclusion that the seven levels of the creation in Koran and narratives are unique and have a well-defined and systematic framework; and in this context,  Ibn Arabi’s mystical school has its own principles and procedures. The world  of the pure spirits and the pre_existence are particularly assessed by Koran and narratives. Finally, we find out that, from Ibn Arabi’s point of view, the world of pure spirits is the same as the world of intellect, which is considered as one of the stages of Five Presences. The world of the pre_existence  has  interpretive and allegorical aspects, and is sometimes referred to as innate nature.
