Anwar-e Ma`rifat

What is the role of the truth and the servant in voluntary human actions? Three major theories have been proposed in this regard: determinism, free will, and a matter between two matters (amrun bayn al-amrayn). Using mystical principles and teachings such as the personal unity of existence, the system of divine names, fate and destiny, the secret of destiny, and the secret of the secret of destiny, this paper has sought to answer the aforementioned question. Analyzing the works of Muslim mystics and rejecting the theories of predestination and free will, the theory of "a matter between two matters" is proven. According to the principle of "the personal unity of existence," the act of the servant is in fact the act of the almighty, which manifests itself in the determination of the servant. the role of the servant is to determine the action, and the role of God is to create it. According to Allama Tabataba'i, the principle of "the personal unity of existence" essentially renders the issue of predestination and free will meaningless, because the premise of the aforementioned suspicions is plurality. Furthermore, the doctrine of "the secret of destiny" responds to the suspicion of predestination and the doctrine of "the secret of the secret of destiny" responds to the suspicion of free will and confirms the theory of "a matter between two matters".
