        1 - The Parable (Fiction) Universe in Mohyeddin Ibn Arabis Mystical School

        As the ancestor of theoretical mysticism, Mohyeddin Ibn Arabi tried his hand on designing the fiction universe after Sohrevardi, during which the mystical principles made an impact upon his sublimed school of mind greatly, so that the theory of philosophy of fiction and the intermediation and abstraction of the world of fiction is of great significance in making up his sublimed school of mind. He believes in the Almighty's own existence as the mere truth and the whole world of phenomena are the formation of both arcs of ascent and descent and the scope of fiction and the absolute divine parable. Ibn Arabi believes that since fiction is a aggregate of antithetical, that is wisdom and materialistic sensations, it is a manifest of a "strong" name of God. He deems the limbo of this world and the next one to be like a distinct line between the sunlight and the shadow. In this paper, the writer has endeavored to draw on the philosophers' and Islamic mystics' ideas, specifically those of Mohyeddin Ibn Arabi, to primarily give a comprehensive definition of the fiction or parable universe and its nature, and then designate the status of this world in mysticism to be as one of the worlds of existence and the reciprocal impact and affect of that against the mystical journey which ends up to apocalypse and intuition. Thirdly, the meaning of some important trainings including separate fiction, limbo, the eighth heaven, resurrection land, etc. are sought and is concluded that 'apocalypse and intuition , meeting prophets and angels and saints, the presence of impeccable soul of imams upon one's death, revelation, and inspiration and ascent of the prophet Mohammad all happen in the detached world of fiction.

        Believing in parable universe, or the intermediate world, between the senses world and the logical one, began before the Islamic period in Iran, and was introduced by well known philosophers of Iran including Sheikh Shahabudding Sohrevardi, Sadrolmoteahhelin Shirazi, Molla Hadi Sabzevari, and the like. Other mystics such as Ibn Arabi, Mowlana Jalaleddin Mohammad Balkhi, Seyyed Heydar Amoli, Sheikh Mahmood Shabestari, Lahiji, Abdurrahman Jami, Mirfenderski, and so on also emphasized the necessity of such a universe in mystical journey. It is endeavored in this paper that a summary of the ideas and beliefs of the above scholars to be presented and further details of the parable universe to be analyzed. Mystics slightly differed on the hierarchy of the world of existence; however, all of them admit to an intermediate world of parable world, i.e. limbo. They have divided the parable world into the 'dependent attached world' and 'independent detached world'. Mohyeddin Ibn Arabi, the ancestor of theoretical mysticism, attempted to design the fiction universe after Sohrehvardi and his mystical principle had a great impact on the sublime philosophy.
