Abstract:

It is an intellectual community that has an important place in the Middle Ages Islamic thought. This community, believing that the liberation of society will be achieved by the unity of religion and philosophy, has tried to this goal by writing the "Risals" containing various subjects. The X. century’s important treasury of knowledge, the Ihvân-i-Safâ Rishalets, among the various subjects he researched and the sciences he studied, included the subjects that occupied the human mind in every period, such as the knowledge of God, the Obligatory Being and the knowledge of God, and even made it the main mystery of his philosophies. It is the last step that the man who uses his mind and has wisdom can reach to God’s knowledge. In short, the purpose of the Messages can be said is to ensure that a true God faith is placed in the spirits. The Divine Safa determines that the knowledge of God is unique, unlimited and uncertain, and that no one other than God will know its true essence. The knowledge of God is considered to be a natural knowledge placed in man. But it is emphasized that in order to reveal this knowledge, it is first necessary that man recognizes himself and purifies himself. This also revealed the existence of different concepts about knowing God. For in terms of self-knowledge and self-cleaning, people will not be equal in terms of knowledge they obtain because they are not at the same level. As a step-by-step education will be healthier and lasting to be knowledgeable, the first step is to insist on the recognition of the person they call the "small world" by movement, but after that the person can recognize the external world more properly.
