Abstract
Philo and Ibn ‘Arabī believe in the creation of the world as a manifestation of God’s will. Having faith in the truth and existence of one transcendent God, and being influenced by Plato and Platonism as a basis origin for their thoughts, these two scholars try to explain how different creatures are created by one exalted God. To confirm this, Philo and Ibn ‘Arabī's persuasion tended towards this conviction that the world has been created by God during different stages. This paper tries to show that Philo and Ibn ‘Arabī despite using different terms in their arguments have the same perspective in explaining the creation of the world.
