Divine detailed prior knowledge to creatures in transcendent philosophy

Divine detailed prior knowledge to creature before creation has been regarded as an important problem in religious, theological, philosophical and mystical texts. In this paper, different views on the definition of knowledge and Divine prior knowledge have been introduced and, then, Sadra`s view in which a kind of multiplicity and complexity have been accepted, has been critically studied. Sadra has taken the idea from Ibn Arabi and believes that this multiplicity and complexity differ from those in possible world and do not contradict Divine Essence simplicity.
