Priority of God-Awareness to Self-Consciousness in Self-knowledge from Allameh Tabatabaei's Viewpoint

For Allameh Tabatabaei¡ the only path toward perfection is self-consciousness and like Mulla Sarda¡ he believes that since a contingent being is realized by connection to God¡ its knowledge is the same as connection; therefore¡ knowing God is prior to all other types of knowledge even realizing self-consciousness. Allameh has mentioned at least five reasons for this claim that their recognition for the first time has been taken placed in this paper and some questions and doubts are answered while it should be mentioned that having knowledge about God is a light by which everything is known and there is no other veil between God and creatures except them.
