Suhrawardi’s Doctrine of Divine Science

Abstract

The problem of divinity occupied the philosophers of Islam in all their doctrinal schools, but it was a central point in the visions of the philosophers of Sufism. While acknowledging the existence of the attribute of knowledge, they differed in their interpretation of the nature and quality of divine knowledge, and it is therefore problematic to research to clarify Al-Suhrawardi’s position on it. Al-Suhrawardi is a figure that sparked controversy between the speakers and philosophers, and they were divided regarding his views that provoked a sedition around him that led to his killing. Therefore, we must search for what leads to suspicions of misunderstanding the purposes of the philosophers, the most prominent of which is Suhrawardi. The research was divided into three axes: a preface, a first topic, a second topic, and then the conclusion.
