Abstract:

The term "Immutable entities" is considered to be as one of the most important terms in Ibn Arabi's terminology. There are some other concepts in the Islamic tradition which are similar to this term. However, Ibn Arabi compiled the term for the very first time by himself. Ibn Arabi's commentators and Sufis in following of him used this term and then shared it in case of ontological explanation. Gheysari is the most important commentator of Ibn Arabi who has explained his thoughts delicately. Therefore this article was formed in the light of Gheysari's thoughts. In ibn Arabi's perspective, immutable entities are presuppositions of Divine's Names and Attributes and immutable knowledge of God. Contemplation mysticism is not to be understood without understanding the mediatory role of immutable entities in universe epiphany, given its specific purpose, so it is a very significant concept in the mystical ontology. This paper explains this state in the Ibn Arabi's ontology in the unity of being which is based on the disclosure of God and illustrates its manifestation.
