Abstract
The "Sacred Soul" is a term used by philosophers to often name a person who is severely alike. Mulla Sadra and Qazi Saeed both believe in the connection between this soul and the soul of the Prophet, which necessitates the recognition of its characteristics. In this paper, by direct reference to their works, in the first step, the features of the sacred soul are explained and then, by examining the relation of the holy soul and Prophetic soul, the question of the possibility of access of other human beings to the standard of the soul is evaluated. It must be said that the difference between the ontological and anthropological grounds of Mulla Sadra and Qazi Saeed has led to a difference of opinion between the two thinkers. According to the omnipotence of the existence and the formation of existence, the essential movement and the union of the intelligent and the intelligible ranks the arrogance for a sacred soul from the man that can Conjecture to the soul of the Prophet, but Qazi Saeed who did not accept these bases, reveals the instances of a sacred soul in the universal soul and the soul. Despite this difference in appearance, the relationship of the soul with the soul of the Prophet and other human populations in the thoughts of these two great philosophers is very close, to the extent that their difference of opinion cannot be regarded as a literal contribution of a sacred soul in their philosophical system.
