An Investigation an‎d Comparison of the Divine Will from the Perspective of Sheikh Mufīd an‎d Mullā Ṣadrā

فلسفه و كلام اسلامي

The subject of this thesis is the investigation an‎d comparison of the divine will from the perspectives of Sheikh Mufīd an‎d Mullā Ṣadrā. Divine will is considered a fundamental concept in Islamic philosophy an‎d theology (kalām), an‎d understan‎ding the differences an‎d convergences in the views of prominent thinkers can deepen our comprehension of the relationship between the divine an‎d the cosmos. The main objective of this research is to conduct a comparative analysis of Sheikh Mufīdʹs an‎d Mullā Ṣadrāʹs views on divine will an‎d to present a comprehensive picture of their points of convergence an‎d divergence. The significance of this study stems from the fact that a proper understan‎ding of divine will is important not only for theological an‎d philosophical discussions but also for addressing contemporary issues in theology an‎d the philosophy of religion, an‎d it can open new horizons for future research. The methodology employed in this thesis is descriptive-analytical, utilizing library-based tools. Data has been collected from primary an‎d secondary sources, including the works of Sheikh Mufīd an‎d Mullā Ṣadrā an‎d related research, an‎d their viewpoints have been extracted an‎d examined through content analysis an‎d conceptual comparison. The findings indicate that Sheikh Mufīd primarily examines divine will from a theological (kalāmī) viewpoint, with an emphasis on divine reason an‎d justice, an‎d considers its role in the establishment of actions an‎d the realization of divine justice. In contrast, Mullā Ṣadrā explains divine will from a philosophical an‎d ontological perspective, introducing it as the primary agent for the realization of existence an‎d the manifestation of perfections in the universe. By comparing these two perspectives, it becomes clear that although their approaches differ, both emphasize the necessity an‎d impact of divine will on the world an‎d humanity. This research demonstrates that combining theological an‎d philosophical analyses can offer a more comprehensive understan‎ding of divine will an‎d provide a suitable foundation for future studies.
