This study, which deals with the study of the concept of deity from Ibn Arabi’s view: explaining God’s relationship with the world and man, examines Ibn Arabi’s view of the concept of deity and obtains its results in explaining the relation between God and the world and man. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to find out a new and appropriate answer for the Questions of the philosophy of religion about the concept of deity that has evolved over the course of the evolution of this knowledge throughout history from the words of Ibn Arabi in a way that the bugs of classical narratives to be also somewhat responder. So on this research uses a librarian method to collect and explain Ibn Arabi’s words about God. And by asking questions of the philosophy of religion and linking them to Ibn Arabi’s view, it became clear that he regarded God as the only truth in the universe and everything is merely a manifestation of Himself and does not have an independent existence. He in a side believes in a God with all absolute attributes but with a different interpretation of classical theology and in the other side is believing in the presence and manifestation of God in the material world with full acceptance the conditions and limitations are. That this dissolve the distance between God and the creatures, but He does not regard the universe as the body of God. Therefore the proportion of the universe to him is the subordinate proportion to his origin and man as the most complete presence of God in the universe. And God’s relationship with the universe is a relationship based on love.
