Heavenly Angels from Mulla Sadra's Viewpoint
Author(s):
Abstract:
The present paper discusses Mulla Sadra's views about the nature and features of angels. Focusing on Mulla Sadra's views, it tries to prove the existence of angels, their nature and their number, and show the philosophical view about the characteristics and types of angels. Angels are luminous and incorporeal beings whose duty is to effuse good and invite man to happiness. Mulla Sadra believes that there are different types of angels and each group of the angels have certain duties assigned by God. One of these groups have the duty of bringing down God's message from the celestial world to the terrestrial world. The discussion about this group of angels who are mediators between the Divine world and the material world is closely related with the theory of emanation, longitudinal hierarchy of intellects, and the way of the evolving of unity from plurality. To sum up, it is difficult, or to be more accurate, impossible to have access to Mulla Sadra's clear view about the compatibility or incompatibility of heavenly angels with intellects.
