Philosophical Reality of " the Straight Path" and Its " Unity" in Mulla Sadra's Viewpoint

Divine guidance has source¡ destination¡ device¡ and path. Discussing the topic of guidance in the holy verse “show us the straight path”¡ without explaining the reality of “straight path” which is the second object of “show us” and belong to guidance¡ is in fact dealing with a discussion without subject which could be led to ambiguous results such as multiplicity of paths. The main purpose of this research is philosophical explanation of the reality of the straight path from Mulla Sadra’s viewpoint. For him¡ the straight path in the world conceptually means a path towards God which is an optional and religious movement in a religious framework and evolution of human existence within scientific and practical dimensions by obeying the instances of the path and the instances are “the Quran”¡ “religion”¡ “prophet and the infallible Imams” which are representations of worldly paths in the hereafter life and cover the hell. The second purpose of the study is logically proving the unity of the straight path along with its explanation by three reasons of: 1. Context unity of God’s Hekmat (Hekmat Al-Kawn) in development and legislation¡ 2. The correlation between the unity of God and unity of the right path¡ and 3. The right path is similar to knowledge and righteousness. Therefore¡ to this scholar¡ unity is the logical and philosophical necessity of the reality of the right path and multiplicity of the right paths is rejected from a rational perspective.
