BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Creation in general and human creation in particular are among the topics that have been studied by different branches of Sufism. Najm al-Din Razi from the Kabaruyeh sect and Ibn Arabi from the Wahdatiyah sect are among the most famous Sufis who have addressed this issue. The purpose of this research, which was carried out in a descriptive-analytical method, is to examine the approach of Sufism, especially Kubrawieh and Vahdatiyeh regarding creation, and to answer the question of differences and similarities in their attitudes.

METHODOLOGY

The research method in this research is a descriptive analysis; Based on this, by using library resources and taking notes from these resources, the desired goals have been achieved.

FINDINGS

Ibn Arabi and Najmuddin have searched for the purpose of creation in categories such as "Establishment", "manifestation of true love", "mystical connection", "manifestation of the unity of existence" and "consistency in the world of existence". The above-mentioned Sufis agree on the manifestation of true love as the goal of Adam"s creation; This is despite the fact that issues such as mystical connection (Razi) and the manifestation of the unity of existence and its consistency (Ibn Arabi) are the point of disagreement between the two Sufis.

CONCLUSION

Ibn Arabi and Najmuddin Dayeh believe that the manifestation of true love is among the most important goals of creation; Sheikh Akbar and Daye have disagreements with each other in other areas, including the mystic connection; Mystical connection is a topic that was raised by Najmuddin Razi as one of the goals of creation, and it is based on the fact that connection to the Holy Prophet is possible only through knowledge called intuitive knowledge. This is while Ibn Arabi considers the above topic not only as the goal of creation or not, but even in the typology of knowledge, he is satisfied with sensory and intellectual knowledge and finally knowledge as a result of submission; Another issue of the difference between the two is the unity of existence.
