Abstract :
According to Ībn Arabī, annihilation (Fanā) in God is an ontological point of view; there is nothing except God and all things are mortal. The holy traveller (sālek), in the end of his/her travel, annihilates in God; there is only one truth, that is God, and all things are figurative beings. Based on a prophetic parol (Hadith), "he who knows himself, knows his Lord". The persent article tries to study the relationship between annihilation (Fanā) and self-knowledge in Ībn Arabī's thoughts.
