Abstract

Although in Koran, other Divine books and a lot of Traditions, God has been negated of similar and like; but He has been described to have model and exemplar. To representing the soul to God has been more noticeable in Gnostists’ statements, and has been used by various terms. Among them, MollaSadra by utilizing from mystical and religious doctrines, has considered particularly modeling the human self, and in his works has achieved two-way results. Since the human soul has been considered for nature, attributes and actions as example of God; so by knowing the self can conceive God better; as by knowing God, may access to self-cognition, and other consequences. The signification note is that the use of such attitude by MollaSadra is deliberate and exactly methodical , and includes of much ontological, anthropological and epistemological consequences; So it seems that its understanding and satisfying value is better than intellectual arguments for solving some philosophical and doctrines problems ,and in cases, it has substituted instead of certain intellectual reason or has covered its deficiencies.
