‘Meaning’, in Ibn Arabi’s thought, is a general and common truth between the different semantic levels of a lexical item. Each item naturally has levels of semantics on which it applies. This common truth makes up the single essence dominant on the meanings of a word. This theory reconciles with the divine verses of the Quran (those which are concerned with the properties of God), and based on this theory, the relation between the loads of these versus to their subject, that is God, is actual and free of figurative elements. The analogic products of the divine verses, after disregarding meaning from the temporal and potential complications, are attributed to God. In understanding this theory, Ibn Arabi’s ontological subjects are of great importance. This theory is greatly influential in understanding and hermeneutics of the Quran’s divine texts. The aim of this paper is to explain Ibn Arabi’s theory in terms of the essence of meaning with the end goal of undertaking semantic studies regarding the loads of the divine versus and to present this theory’s practical results.

The most important question ever posed in the realm of Art Studies investigates the relationship between aesthetic principles and artistic discourse. Taking note of the fact that schools base their definition of aesthetic principles on their intellectual frameworks, the authors of the present paper seek to extract and organize the aesthetic principles which are based on the Islamic Mysticism. This paper addresses mystical aesthetic-epistemological principles since the existence and appreciation of beauty constitute the main foundations of aesthetics. Although this paper is not intended to compare the aesthetic principles of the Islamic Mysticism and contemporary art, it sheds light on the fact that the Islamic Mysticism owns some fundamental principles in aesthetics which could attract the attention of the researchers working in the Philosophy of Beauty and contemporary art.
