The Subject of God in the System of Being from Allameh Tabatabai's Viewpoint and Its Reflection on the Inscriptions of Islamic Structures

One of the major issues of theology is the issue of God's agency. The agency of God - as the agency of every other agent - has a complete relation to his science, which is another of the fundamental questions expressed in theology. The subject of divine agency has been an important topic in the history of philosophy. In this occasion, the principle of divine agency and creation, which is one of the earliest religious teachings in the heavenly religions, is disputed, and the origin of God's action and agency goes back to the innate nature and attributes of God. Allameh Tabatabai, one of the great scholars who has dealt with the subject of God in the system of being, as a philosopher and interpreter of transcendent wisdom, as well as an expert philosopher, while explaining Sadra's beliefs and criticism. From his point of view, out of the six types of agents; God is considered as the superior. This agent is the agent who has knowledge of his verb and performs it by the will and authority of the agent, and all of his knowledge is the source of the act of issuing the verb. This research, which uses a descriptive-analytical approach to Allameh Tabataba'i's thought and attitude about the existence of God in the system of existence and its reflection in the inscriptions of Islamic architecture as Islamic artworks, has been done through library data collection. The results show that after the revelation and understanding of the viewpoints and theories of the agency of God in the system of existence from the point of view of Allameh Tabatabai, as a theory of creation and formation, one can make artistic creations such as inscriptions in Islamic architecture and reflecting mystical ideas.
