Abstract
The attribute of divine "samadity" plays a fundamental role in explaining human ontology from the perspective of the Quran, demonstrative philosophy, and mysticism, and can act as a criterion for creating coherence between reason, narration, and intuition. This research, using a descriptive-analytical method and based on documentary and library data, has analyzed the function of samadity in the three aforementioned areas. The results show that divine samadity is the basis for a correct understanding of man's "existential poverty" in the Quran and his "emptiness" in the narrations. In light of this attribute, existential poverty is interpreted not in the sense of material or essential needs, but in the sense of "objectivity of need and necessity" of man in the face of God's absolute richness. Emptyness also refers to man's inner emptiness and existential deficiency in the face of divine samadity. Divine samadity plays an important role in demonstrative philosophy and proves that human existence is merely a "related existence" in the face of God's independent existence. In mysticism, this attribute is also useful in explaining the "personal unity of existence" and shows that the entire existence is the manifestation and manifestation of the one true being and that beings are merely His manifestations. Therefore, divine samadhi is considered a comprehensive criterion for understanding human ontology in the three spheres of the Quran, philosophy, and mysticism.
