Abstract :

Abstract One of the most important mystical ideas that have been common among mystics for a long time and have been expressed in different ways is the subject of the unity of existence. This idea of monotheism, influenced by Muslims' belief in the oneness of God, has existed in the words of mystics since the beginning, and traces of this type of thinking can be seen in the texts of mystic poetry and prose. In the works of Ibn Arabi, this topic becomes a theory under the title of "unity of existence". In his works, Ibn Arabi explained the theory of the unity of existence and explained and expanded it. This subject has been widely discussed in mystical works after Ibn Arabi with terms such as "unity", "multiplicity", "unity in plurality", "multiplicity in unity", "unity of intuition" etc. Mystics and poets following Ibn Arabi's ideas, after him, have tried to explain this issue in their works and have turned to allegory to explain this topic. Asiri Lahiji is one of the commentators of Ibn Arabi's thoughts. The unity of existence is one of the most important themes of his works. He has used various similes to explain his thoughts of existential unity. In this research, we intend to analyze the allegories of the unity of existence in the works of Asiri Lahiji with the descriptive-analytical method and library tools. The purpose of the research is to answer the question of how the unity of existence is expressed in Asiri's thought .
