Research Aim: In the postmodernist approach, virtual reality constructs its components as it pleases and uses reality as a separate category from its signs in a world saturated with media domination. Accordingly, with the domination of images and signs, reality disappears and the source of truth is emptied of external existence. With the accumulation and eruption of signs and images in all walks of life, such as economics, politics, society, art, and the production and distribution of meanings, it becomes a sign of culture, politics, and society, and knowledge is reduced to a level where reality and fantasy are merely contemplation. Perception is used through the senses, and any discussion of semantics in the universal space of virtual reality is assumed to be impossibleResearch Method: In this research, with the help of descriptive-analytical method by rethinking and analyzing virtual reality in Baudrillard theory based on Ibn Arabi’s imaginary foundations and permissible formation based on religious paradigm, and using systematic comparative test as a convergent three-dimensional comparison of effective factors Has been examined in variablesFindings: The research findings show that it is possible to define, construct and expand virtual reality in accordance with the religious paradigm from Ibn Arabi’s point of view.Conclusion: In Ibn Arabi’s view, virtual reality is placed in the longitudinal hierarchy of the worlds, and metaphysical objectivity takes its existence from another order, which is superior to it in terms of hierarchy, and each time it is enclosed in the lower order, it manifests the possibilities of that order. It affirms the nature of the subconscious and polarizes human knowledge along a longitudinal axis that extends from the earthly order to the universe. In general, media and cinema are used as a tool to cross the real world and draw the world beyond it, and the reality created by the media is itself in the number of other reality and in the vertical levels and hierarchy of worlds.
