Personal unity of existence means that the concrete and real existence outside is merely one, i.e. there is nothing outside but the dependent manifestations and epiphanies of that one existence. This theory is one of the highest and deep doctrines of Islamic mysticism; it came across diverse interpretations and obstacles, though. One obstacle in the way of such a lofty doctrine is the theory of interpenetration of existence according to which Allah’s existence is interpenetrated with that of abodes of creatures so that while keeping the distance between the creator and the creatures, maintains the infinity of Allah Almighty.
The “specific gradation of existence” theory which says there is only one identical existence appearing in different states and various multiplicities i.e. unity is running through multiplicity, can be considered a weak obstacle to the personal unity of existence, for it is open to some particular interpretation.
In their efforts, the authors try not only to show the correct interpretation of the “specific gradation of existence” theory which is the other side of “personal unity of existence”, but also to take a critical look into the “interpenetrated existence” theory as per rational arguments and firm evidences from the Qur’an and traditions.

The problem of “gradation of being” is one of significant among philosophical questions. In transcendent philosophy it has precise and especial formulation. Commentators of Mulla Sadra have presented different versions of it. Agha Ali Mudarres’ version is perhaps of the most exact commentary on the issue. Defending the view of specific gradation of being and explain its various implications, he call into question the view of individual unity of being by mystics. In his different works Agha Ali Mudarrres has dealt with the divisions and hierarchical levels of being on the basis of the view of specific gradation, subjecting the mystical outlook of individual unity of being to serious criticisms.
The present article is an attempt to give an exact account of his view by consulting his different works, and finally provide a brief examination the problem in question.
