Ma`rifat Kalami

Divine vision (ru’yat Allāh), which is explicitly mentioned in numerous verses and narratives, has been a point of contention among Muslim thinkers, such that they have adopted various positions in explaining and justifying this issue: some affirm vision with the physical eye, while others negate it and accept a vision other than with the physical eye. Meanwhile, Ayatollah Javādī Āmulī, as one of the great expositors of Ṣadra transcendent philosophy, has addressed this issue in his works. The main problem of this research is to examine the possibility of seeing God from the perspective of Professor Javādī Āmulī in two domains: sensory vision and intellectual vision, processed through a descriptive- analytical method. The research findings show that he not only proves the impossibility of sensory vision of God with multiple positive arguments and critiques the arguments of the opposing view, but also, unlike most thinkers, attends to the issue of intellectual vision and negates it as well with various arguments.
