Abstract

"Jala`" and "Istijla`" are two mystical terms that refer to the ontological system and all Divine and created determinations. "Jala`" is the manifestation of the Essence of God, the Almighty, for Himself and in Himself, and "Istejla`" is the manifestation of Divine Essence for Himself but in creature determinations. The present article with a descriptive-analytical method is a comparative study of the relationship between the Divine perfection of Jala` and istejla` with the perfect man in Ibn Arabi's school and the school of revelation. Based on the findings of this study, it becomes clear that the ultimate goal of the Supreme Being is to create opportunities and manifestations, to see his perfections in the manifestation and facing the mirror as the other; In the meanwhile, man enjoys the characteristics through which the Divine secret would appear for the Truth and his secret his secrets are made clear. Thus the perfection of istejla was achieved by man; But this degree is potential for him; the actual manifestation is the very "perfect man" who has realized his talents. The doctrine of jala` and istejla` has also been discussed in the school of revelation; In mystical texts, there are many verses and hadiths in this field. In addition to expressing the deep connection between mysticism and revelation, it proves the roots of Islamic mysticism in the school of revelation.

دراسة مقارنة لعلاقة کمال الجلاء واستجلاء الإلهیین مع الإنسان الکامل فی مدرسة ابن عربی و المدرسة الوحیانیة

Abstract [العربیة]

الجلاء و الاستجلاء مصطلحین عرفانیین لنظام الوجودی و یشملان کل التعینات الحقانیة والخلقیة.
الجلاء هو ظهور الله تعالى لنفسه وفی نفسه، و استجلاء ظهور وتجلى الله لنفسه فی التعینات الخلقیة.
تقوم المقالة هذه بمنهج وصفی- تحلیلی بدراسة مقارنة بین علاقة کمال الجلاء واستجلاء مع الإنسان الکامل فی مدرسة ابن عربی و المدرسة الوحیانیة.
وتُبین ان هدف الله تعالى من خلق المجالی و المظاهر، مشاهدة کمالات نفسه فی مرآة أخرى. و الإنسان یتمتع بخصائص تُمکنه من کشف سر الحق على الحق وتنکشف أسراره.
فیتحقق کمال الاستجلاء بالإنسان، لکن هذه االمرتبة بالنسبة له بالقوة، والمظهر بالفعل هو الإنسان الکامل الذی وصلت استعداداته إلى مرحلة الفعلیة
مسألة الجلاء واستجلاء مطروح فی مدرسة الوحی أیضاً، فهناک آیات و روایات کثیرة فی النصوص العرفانیة، وتدل على ربط وثیق بین العرفان و والوحی و تُثبت أن جذور العرفان الإسلامی موجودة فی النصوص الوحیانیة
