Abstract

he mysterious word "hu", equivalent to "o" in Persian, although from the perspective of Arabic compounds, it is an absent third-person singular pronoun that refers to a reference and indicates an ambiguous concept, but in religious and mystical sources, it is considered more than a pronoun and is considered a mystery and contains profound meanings. The present article, which is written in a descriptive-analytical manner and by collecting library information, seeks to present different semantic layers of the word "hu", compare the use of "hu" with other divine pronouns, and explain its functions by relying on religious heritage and mystical literature. The present article seeks to answer the question of how this word has been generalized from a grammatical perspective to mystical dimensions? The findings of the study show that the word "He" is not a simple pronoun, but the supreme name of God, which refers to the pure essence of God, which has no limitations or analogies. "He" in this position has two functions: ontology and epistemology. In the ontological dimension, the word "He" refers to the single and comprehensive existence of the Supreme Being with respect to beings, that is, there is one "being" which is God, and the rest are "appearances" and manifestations of that being. In the epistemological dimension, "He" refers to the unseenness of God.
