Although the matter of the “Other” have not been considered by Muslim scholars as an independent issue, there is capacity to discuss the matter in all schools of thought in the Islamic world, especially that of mysticism. For this reason, one can examine the “other” in the works of Ibn Arabi as a representative Islamic mysticism and search his intellectual foundations. The fundamentals such as the symbolism of divine names, the widespread adoption of the field of salvation, and the inaccessibility of the whole truth can clarify the position of this well-known mystic against the “other”. One of the most important foundations of Ibn Arabi’s ontology in his approach to the “other” is the symbolism of divine names and considering the “other” as one of the divine names. Avoiding monopoly on truth and knowing the “other” from bliss and salvation is also a positive view towards the “other”. Ibn Arabi’s emphasis on the lack of clarity of the truth and it not being exclusive to a particular group or sect will lead to search for truth in the religion of the “other”.

Befor Inb Arabi, according to the Helenistic view, the human perception was confined to sensations and objects of reason. And, for the sensation was regarded as an instrument for reason, the latter was thought as the final perceptive faculty. Furthermore, the reason supported by logics, was regarded as the final judge. In the mentioned thought tradition, all of findings should be assessed in the light of reason to their truth of falsity be determined. Ibn Arabi suggests a new worldview and makes the traditional conception of reason encountered to some main challengs. According to this fact, orientalists rightly have called him the largest and most influential thinker in the second half of Islamic age. Ibn Arabi's meeting with Averoes – the main philosopher of his age – is regarded as a kind of end for a long time tradition and the begining of a new route. The route Ibn Arabi founded is takig authority from reason and giving it to the imagination in an strict sense. Nowaday, after the rise of postmodernism and many challenges about modern hypothses about the nature of human being and rationality, and refutation of many modern assumptions, inclination to reassessment of oriental thoughts has been increased, and therefore, there is an increasingly interest in Ibn Arabi's views. Thus, it is necessary to all of his ideas are studied in the light of current streams of thoughts. This paper tries to study and explicate Ibn Arabi's views about the imaginantion and its role and function in the realm of perception

Guardianship as one of the foundations of religion is the core and essence of it. In the rules of Islam, it has been quoted, "Deeds are not accepted unless performed with faith in Guardianship". In fact, Guardianship is the heart and basis of the entire human virtues and the starting point of achieving the ultimate stage of faith as well. Hadjviri, the great mystic, in his book, Kashf al Mahjoob, says: "the foundation of the disciplines of Islamic mysticism and knowledge of God is Guardianship". In Islam the first rate of Guardianship belongs solely to God, and the other rates as manifestations are derived from this pre-existent spring. Although Guardianship is considered widely in many kinds of Islamic knowledge but in this square, discussion of completing guardianship and the last guardians is one of the most important and exotic discussion in the view of Islamic mysticism that had been disputed by many of elegance inhabitants and spiritual masters. In this issue, first, Guardianship and its various kinds and then the last of the Guardians, based on Ibn Arabi's viewpoints, have been considered and criticized, and at last the Shiite's faith in guardianship has been emphasized.
