Introduction Language is a seemingly simple but at the same time very complex phenomenon. Linguists have always tried to understand what language is and provide a definition of it. Among the sages, Mulla Sadra has an ontological view of speech and, relying on his system of jurisprudence, defines language using the principles of the originality of existence, sequence of existence, and substantial motion. The purpose of this article is to provide a descriptive-analytical explanation of Mulla Sadra's view on language but from an angle that is in correspondence and similar to the universe. He introduces language in a system that corresponds perfectly to the universe and it means both with an ascending and descending course, beginning and end, grading and rank, fertility and dynamism, and in proportion and addition with the audience. Part of this correspondence is in the relationship between mind and object. He believes that language and existence are so intertwined that existence is nothing but words.Research Questions:Is language an existential truth or a contractual tool?What is the relationship between language and universe?What are the areas of similarity and correspondence between language and the universe? Literature Review Mohsen Pirhadi and Alilah Badashti, in the article “Criticism and review of verbal and emotional speech based on transcendental wisdom” compare the views of theologians and Mulla Sadra regarding the verbal or emotional nature of the speech, and its purpose is to investigate whether the divine word is verbal or emotional. However, the following article not only examines speech in divine and human dimensions, but its purpose is to study language in the system of existence.Maqsood Mahmoudi also examines the views of theologians and Mulla Sadra in the article “Explanation of the attribute of speech, the divine word and the descent of revelation based on the transcendental wisdom “similar to the previous article.Also, Seyyed Mohammad Hossein Mirdamadi and Seyyed Mehdi Emami Juma, in the article “Philosophical principles and principles of Kalam and Divine Book in the modern ontology of Mulla Sadra” deal with the issue of if we want to consider existence as the Word or Divine Book, what are the characteristics of existence we face. To explain this point of view, he points to thirteen rules for studying the Book of Being, which are necessary to know, such as the unlimitedness of the divine word, the unseenness of the divine word, etc. The purpose of this article is not only to know the divine word, but it considers the language regardless of whether it is divine or not, compared to the characteristics of the universe. Methodology The purpose of this article is to examine the similarities and correspondences between the world of existence and speech from Mulla Sadra's point of view, which is done with a comparative approach and descriptive-analytical method. This work has been done through library research and information gathering, and then comparing Mulla Sadra's views in the two areas of existence and speech. Conclusion Just as Mulla Sadra is the founder of a new ruling system regarding the world of existence, he also presents new and creative views on the nature of language, which are completely consistent with the world of existence and can only be understood by knowing his philosophical principles. He introduces words and speech in a structure that, firstly, has unity in connection with the composite mind and secondly, in similarity and correspondence with the universe, it starts from a specific beginning and leads to a specific destination, but this end itself becomes the beginning for Siri. An ascent that ends at the initial origin. This process of descent and ascent occurs in a two-way interaction between the speaker and the listener, and the role of both is important in this matter. Just as the world of existence is multilevel and this is a favor from the Holy Prophet to provide the way of knowledge for human beings, speech also corresponds to the world of existence, it is multilevel and every word leads us to a specific meaning with a specific level. Interaction with the audience makes sense. Existence is constantly giving birth and moving, and speech is a creative gift that invents new sentences and meanings at the foot of the generative existence. In the end, existence and speech are so similar that he considers the universe to be nothing but speech.

IntroductionMetaverse technology due to its features such as being stable and permanent, not limited in time and space, and breaking some of the laws of the physical world has been given special attention by technology companies such as Meta and Microsoft, these companies are trying to launch a large and extensive social network to transform Metaverse technology into a world beyond the real world in the future, that users in Metaverse with the identity of an avatar and the use of smart tools such as mobile, laptop, etc. interact with one another. In fact, in this digital world, people no longer use the Internet, but live in it, and with the characters they have created, they experience a variety of social, cultural, political and economic interactions more actively, and more efficiently than in the real world.Metaverse is still in its beginning, and the definitions and descriptions of this world are constantly changing, so it still has a long way to go to understand what the “Metaverse” world really is and what it will have on human society. However, it can be said that Metaverse with extraordinary features, can transform the technological horizons in human social and interactive life and create a new life experience for its users that will keep them away from traditional and natural life. Humans can create in this world and live in parallel with the physical and objective world in the world they have created. No doubt, these effects are cultural, social, legal, ... It will be for humans.In this new life, humans can form new families and live in new territories with the identity and genders of the self-made avatar. This kind of life is some of the concepts that we are familiar with in the physical and objective world, such as borders, family, gender, ethnicity, etc.This is the only important consequence of the metaverse that will make the thinkers and researchers act wisely in the face of this phenomenon. Therefore, it is essential that thinkers try to understand the different aspects of this phenomenon and clear the path to enter and traverse this world for the governing organizations and users so that this technology can be used to flourish human talents and minimize its potential damages. One of the cognitive dimensions that should be explained in this field is the ontology dimension of this phenomenon, neglecting this important issue due to the widespread impact of the Metaverse world on human life in the near future is considered a great neglect.Literature ReviewDue to the novelty of the Metaverse world theory in the literature of today's society, there has not been much scientific research in this field and the same few available researches have either been explained in terms of computer science, economics and architecture, or due to the unknown and obscurity of some of its dimensions for the human sciences thinkers with a pathological approach. Therefore, investigating the cognitive and ontological aspects of this phenomenon from the perspective of Islamic philosophy can be an innovative approach to this problem. MethodologyThis essay with an ontological approach and descriptive and analytical method explains the nature of the Metaverse world and technologies that are effective in achieving users' perception of this world and then analyzes the way and type of human perception of Metaverse world based on Mulla Sadra's view.The questions that will be answered in this essay are as follows:What is the nature of the Metaverse world and which technologies used in the Metaverse world play a role in human perception?What is the ontological analysis of the Metaverse world and its features based on Mulla Sadra's view?According to the types of perception in Mulla Sadra's view, what is the type and manner of human perception in the Metaverse world? ConclusionAccording to the foundations of Sadra'i philosophy, the perceptible space for the user in the Metaverse is not an Illusion and imagination space for three reasons, but it is a real and external perceptible space, because what is perceived in the Metaverse is the source of external effects, secondly, the perceptible beings in Metaverse have their own objective, partial, and special existence, thirdly, according to the interactive characteristics of this space, the personal perceptions of each user in Metaverse are conceivable for other users as well, so it cannot be an illusionary world.According to the foundations of Mulla Sadra's ontology and the characteristics of Metaverse, Metaverse is a "hybrid external credit" world, and the entities that make up this space are both true and credit combinations. Also, the entities that make up Metaverse have a real, objective and tangible existence and have an external, partial, and special existence. The Metaverse is a type of tangible being, because this world consists of a series of tangible and perceptible components and has length, width, and depth, such as graphic images having three dimensions, sound waves, etc.Therefore, because the Metaverse is a credit combination and has no identity other than the identity of its components, it is perceptible by the senses, and what can be understood by humans from the world of the Metaverse are subtle substances such as energy, waves, etc. that complications and attributes such as color, size, etc. are added to them so that they become perceptible to humans. In the Metaverse, users interact with each other in real time, so time in this world has meaning and is in line with real time. This world, like other creatures in the natural world, has movement and change.By analyzing the characteristics of the Metaverse, it became clear that the place of existence of the Metaverse world is the world of nature; because the existence form of the beings that make up this world is matter (subtle body) and they have other perceptible characteristics of the natural world; like being tangible, having partial and objective existence, having width, length and depth, occupying space and movement, etc. In the epistemological analysis of the Metaverse world, it was determined that what is comprehensible to humans in the metaverse is made by two technologies, virtual reality, and augmented reality, which in virtual reality is sent to the user from only one input source of comprehensible information, and the tools used for perception are by the user among the preliminary and background causes the foundation for the realization of perception in the world of Metaverse. But in augmented reality, information can be understood by the user from two input source
