An Ontological Analysis of the Development of the Divine Will in the Mutazlite Thought System

The divine will (al-iradah al-ilahiyyah) is one of the most important elements of the theology of acts that there had been offered various ontological and semantic analyses about. In this regard, the Mutazilite line of thought discussed the divine will and its various parts more than the others. The current theory between this line of thought includes this idea that the divine will is an accident happened "not in a place" (arazun hadatha la fi mahallen). Being "not in a place" of the will in this theory is taken from the early Mutazilah of the meaning of accident (araz) which allowed to regard it as having no place. But, because of convergence with the peripatetic philosophy, the recent Mutaziltes have been led to a philosophical reading and indeed seriously challenged this conception that how could it be possible to conceive an accident that is not stay in a place. Therefore the recent Mutaziltes found the resolution of the dilemma in the usage of a philosophical version of the explanation of will that accordingly will is introduced by motive (dai) and motive is introduced by the awareness of the best system of the universe.
