The topic of “Beyond all reason” is one of old issues in epistemology. The mystics consider their evidences above the natural mind and human intellect. These kinds of knowledge are usually perceived as viable, ultimately rational or irrational. In this paper, following the quotes stated in this regard, by examining the facts and teachings that Mohi al-Din Arabi expresses beyond all reason, part of the mystical truths are obtained at a higher level, which is essentially outside of the domain of intellectual imagery and wisdom, and is within the realm of Sacred Wisdom, where there is no plurality. On the other hand, our worlds toward God, from the viewpoint of the Mohi al-Din Arabi, are essentially fictitious and non-constant, and on the other hand, it is necessary to get beyond the wisdom in the conditions of mortality and wisdom, in which the wisdom and being wise are not present. Here the wisdom itself judges, of course, a holy and totally abstract wisdom. Although some knowledge is Reason getaway or irrational, it is possible to find a rational basis for their acceptance.

Keywords: Mohi-al-Din Arabi, Beyond all reason, Reason getaway, irrational, Sacred Wisdom
