Pluralism and Tolerance in Ibn Arabi’s Thought with Emphasis on Al-Futuhat al-Makkiyya

One of the necessary results of religious pluralism is the issue of tolerance, and a pluralistic person goes towards tolerance in the implementation of the social rules of religion. While believing in pluralism, Ibn Arabi is committed to the implementation of Sharia in all matters. He believes that the thought of pluralism has elements that believers and wayfarers must accept in order to ultimately reach the truth, but true pluralism is worthy of a perfect Man and everyone has their own share of this pluralism. Ibn Arabi takes two ways to achieve tolerance compatible with Islam. One is the design of a type of mystical worldview that shows that every belief is somehow related to the truth and after the implementation of divine hudud in the hereafter, the name of the Most Merciful includes everyone. The other is to draw a kind of practical behavior that is consistent with the acceptance of various beliefs. Therefore, Ibn Arabi tries to lead the society towards tolerance while maintaining the rules of Sharia.
