| Summary: | The theory of imaginal worlds is an effective ontological theory in philosophy, theology, and especially mysticism. Imaginal World is also a world which links man to the world of Ideas. Today, new efficiencies are defined for the worlds in philosophy of religion, psychology, philosophy of mind, art and literature, which is very important. West culture and its attitude to the Imaginal worlds has an illness to which if we don’t pay attention, despite of the enormous scientific and spiritual heritage which we have in this regard, we will encounter to the same difficulties which today the West has. They define these worlds and provide their functions such that that they have to ignore and discredit religious teachings, such as Unity of God and resurrection. Thus, this paper seeks to explain the place of worlds in Islamic mysticism, with special attention to the ideas of Suhrawardi, Ibn al-Arabi and Mulla Sadra, in addition we will indicate to the new functions are discussed in the contemporary world, the art references, and compare the result of Gnostic Islamic attitude to the theory to Western attitude |
