Investigating the Effect of Sadra’s Anthropological Principles in the Issue of Supplication

Supplication is one of the deepest kinds of Man’s communication with God. Depending on his level of understanding about his inherent destitution, Man has delved into the semantics of supplication and issues associated with it. Sadra’s adopted view toward issue of supplication is not detached from his anthropological principles. The substantial ascending motion of soul toward perfection, the quality of human perfection, perfect Man, human inherent destitution and principle of human authority are among fundamental issues discussed by Sadra in explaining the issue of supplication. So, the current research has analyzed the issue of supplication in the light of these anthropological principles. Thus, after explaining the concepts and principles, the research shed light on the relation between these principles and the issue of supplication and then puts forward a new analysis of the issue on the basis of Sadra’s anthropological principles.
