One of the fundamental issues in Islamic thought is the issue of the finality of creation. The main question of the present study is that according to the theories of Ibn Sina and Ibn Arabi, did God have a finality in mind in creating beings or is God without need of a purpose or end? And secondly, which theory is better and more efficient? Ibn Sina has theorized against the views of theologians. Like the Mu'tazilites, he considers the lack of finality of creation to be absurd, and at the same time, like the Ash'arites, he considers the existence of a finality in creation to be contrary to monotheism. He believes that the creation of this world was not based on a finality, but rather the cause of the realization of beings is the divine providence. In accordance with the acceptance of the personal unity of existence, Ibn Arabi does not accept creation in the sense of creating and believes in the manifestation of existence. Therefore, he considers the finality of creation to be the inherent love of God and the perfection of divine manifestation. He believes that the purpose of God Almighty in creating the world is to see Himself in His completeness and perfection in the world, and that the only being who has the capacity and talent to be the complete and perfect manifestation of God is the perfect human being. The method of this research is descriptive-analytical.
