Abstract :

Monotheism in the term of religions, especially the religion of Islam and the annihilation in God and the subsistence with God in Islam mysticism can be studied and researched from different angles. Despite the valuable researchers that have been done in this field, regardless of the epistemological dimensions of monotheism and annihilation, the question is that how monotheism because of monotheist and annihilation or survival in the way of God can be related? Do they have a separate and independent meaning in the existence of the seeker and the monotheist, as it seems in the mental and attainment dimension of the relationship based on a disagreement about them, or they are intertwined with one in the existence of the monotheist? Definitions of monotheism and its arguments are among the acquired sciences; but in the present knowledge of monotheism, the immediacy of the limits and customs and concepts, the truth will be manifested to him according to the size of the human capacity. In this article, it is mentioned that human beings become monotheists. On the other hand, in mystical conduct and reaching the position of annihilation in God and subsistence with God, the existence of the seeker (Salĭk) will be the same as knowledge. Here is man's knowledge of his lord and the lord's knowledge of the soul, presence, and the very existence of the soul. Understanding this unity between the man and the Lord and the monotheism of the soul is the same as the gift of annihilation in God and subsistence with God.
