A Comparative Investigation of the Relationship between the Creator and the Creatures in Avicenna’s View and the Shiite Hadiths

The present study aims at gaining a general image of God’s relationship with the universe. According to Avicenna, as compared with what we find in the Shiite hadiths, we have come up with an explanation of this relationship. Indeed, if we consider many of the discussions of Islamic philosophy in relation to other discussions, we would come up with an explanation of the subject of this study.
Altogether, we investigated Avicenna’s view as well as related hadiths and compared the rational worldview with the worldview taken from hadiths to conclude that some of the axes of Avicenna’s rational worldview are not in line with what we find in hadiths. This, however, has been resolved to some extent in the views presented by later philosophers, and we see some sort of convergence between the worldview taken from the intellect and the worldview taken from the hadiths in later philosophers.
