Abstract

Molana' s school of mystical thinking is deemed to be thoroughly independent from that of Ibn-e Arabi. To simply demonstrate that Molana visited Ibn-e Arabi in Damascus ( at the time when Molana was young and the latter quite old), and that Molana associated with and developed friendship with Sadr-e Ghunavi ( the greatest advocate of Ibn-e Arabi), and that they shared common viewpoints are proofs that Molana was deeply under the influence of Ibn-e Arabi.
