In this article, after the precise statement of the topic and purpose of occurrence and progress, Ibn Sina's, Fakhr Razi's, and Sadr al-Mutalahin Shirazi's views on the occurrence or time step of the natural world have been presented and critically analyzed. According to the historical order, Ibn Sina's opinion based on the antiquity of nature, and a reason for it, based on the natural-philosophical rule, "every event is preceded by matter and duration" is established. Then, the criticisms of Ghazali and Fakhr Razi, which are similar to each other, and Khwaja Tusi's response to Fakhr Razi's criticism are presented, and, in the continuation, the opinion of Mullasadra, which agrees with Ibn Sina, is narrated. In the following, a reference was made to Mulla Sadra's special opinion about the temporal occurrence of nature based on intrinsic movement, and it was pointed out that this opinion can be summed up with any occurrence or step of nature. Then, two side problems related to the discussion: the infinite sequence of equipment and the specific problem of entities, have been raised and resolved. The summary and conclusion of the article are also given at the end and, in the conclusion, the theologian's opinion regarding the temporal occurrence of nature is ambiguous and inefficient, and the opinion of philosophers is preferred over nature's step.

The concept of Casualty or the Causal Argument is a concept that draws attention of the philosophers over the time. Among those who consider the causal Argument is Thomas Aquinas, a famous philosopher of the Scholastic era. Among contemporary Muslim philosophers, Allameh Mohammad Hossein Tabatabaee, has also worked on this concept.
The aim of the paper is to study around the concept of casualty through the window of Aquinas on the one hand, and that of Tabatabaee on the other hand. The goal of the paper is to have a comparison between the ideas of the two thinkers. Since Aquinas looks at the Causal Argument as a tool to prove the existence of God, the comparison is around this issue as well. The attempt of the paper is to find out whether there is a commonality in this subject between Aquinas in thirteen century and Tabatabaee in the current century.

After entering the Islamic philosophy, gradation underwent major changes to the point that gradation of existence became replaced with gradation of manifestation in transcendental theosophy as mystical epistemology gave no credit to gradation of existence.
Allameh Tabataba’i not only criticizes gradation in existence but also suggests some methods for moving from gradation of ranks to gradation of manifestations.
