Anticipation of Abul-Futuh Razi over Ibn-Arabi
In kind of Picture of Free Will of Human[1]
Abstract:
Free will and Determinism has always been one of the most important Anthropological issues among Muslim thinkers. This issue has also been considered in Ibn-Arabichr('39')s mystical school. Ibn-Arabi in the seventh century AH in the picture of the relationship between Previous Divine Knowledge and Human free will or the negation of determinism, has a different approach to the thought of theologians. His theory named as "secrecy destiny" or "following knowledge from the known". Leading research conducted with a descriptive approach and based on library studies, speaks of the relationship of the thoughts of one of the Shiite commentators of the Holy Quran, namely Abul-Futuh Razi, who died in the sixth century AH, with the thoughts of Ibn-Arabi. The findings of the research, based on the views of this commentator in the discussions of determinism and free will, especially his pictureing of infection and testing of human with the previous divine knowledge, shows that not only is there a comparison between his views on the negation of Determinism from human with the theories put forward in Ibn-Arabichr('39')s school Rather, it indicates that he preceded Ibn-Arabi in the mystical thought of following knowledge from the known.
