A Comparative Study of Ending of Guardianship (al- Welayah) According to Ibn A’rabi and All?ma Seyyed Heydar Amoli
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Ending of guardianship is significantly important in Ibn A’rabi’s school, in terms of identity and typology. Ibn A’rabi has divided the term, guardianship, to sub topics, and has presented his own opinion about each of them and also, presented some reasons in supporting it. He believes that the ending of absolute guardianship (al-Wilayah al-motlaghah) belongs to Jesus and the ending of conditional guardianship (al- Wilayah al-moghayadah) belongs to him. He neither accepts Imam Mahdi as the sealer nor explicitly mentions the ending role of Imam Ali (AS). But Seyyed Heydar Amoli believes that Imam Ali (AS) is the absolute ending of saints (Kh?tam al-Awlia) and Imam Mahdi is the conditional ending of saints. To prove this theory and disproving the first one, he represents rational, anecdotal and revelation reasons and concludes that the overall result of Ibn A’rabi's opinion is proving the absolute ending of guardianship for Jesus (PBUH) and no one else (Heydar Amoli,1990a), so he criticizes this idea and rejects it. In this paper, the ideas of these two famous mystics have been compared, and it has been shown that, despite the respects for Ibn A’rabi’s views in theoretical mysticism, his idea about ending of guardianship is criticized and inefficient, and A’lama Seyyed Haydar Amoli's point of view has more stability and strength in proof, and is in accordance with revelation, wisdom and intuition.
