Abstract :

Worldview of Imam Ali (p.b.u.h.) also involves a mystical view. In his mystical existentialism, he believes that the real existence only belongs to God and that the universe is the manifestation of Divine names and attributes, meanwhile accepting the law of causality and proves it to the world. His excellency,  Ali(p) through comparison and contrast in fact confirmed the pantheism as the exact polarity, and in His statements proves the unity of existence that is the same legal unity of fact. His excellency, by stating his special position and that of other family members of prophet Mohammad proves their mediator role to be of their blessing, also position of caliphate and absolute Guardianship for all of them and so explores mystical secret stages of the existence.
