The results of this study show that one of the key words for understanding the mystical views of Shah Qasim Anwar is to pay attention to the meaning and concept of manifestation and discover the source of his view on manifestation. Frequency and variety of manifestations in the mystical poems of Shah Qasim Anwar while confirming his influence on Ibn Arabi, It shows that the basis of mystical knowledge and experiences reflected in the poems of Shah Qasim Anwar is a combination of the views of earlier mystics, including the thought of Ibn Arabi.
