Abstract

n Ibn Arabi's view, which has an Ash'arite theological basis, it does not give 
any role to man and natural causes in the world system; And this is because 
of his belief in algebra. Allameh Tabataba'i has a Shiite view and for natural 
causes, not only did he not consider it roleless, but he also considered it a 
longitudinal role, and the longitudinal role is not algebra, and what is algebra 
is a transverse role; Therefore, wind, rain, and the like are natural causes that 
play the role of agents in the system of the universe and have no 
contradiction with monotheism. But Allameh Tabataba'i interprets 
monotheistic verses in the same way that he considers natural causes as 
longitudinal causes and considers them exactly in accordance with 
monotheism and is not opposed to the issue of monotheism. In this research, 
consciously or unconsciously, these two scientists, according to the influence 
of their theological principles, have adopted such two different methods for a 
subject. This article has studied the written works of Allameh Tabataba'i and 
Ibn Arabi in a library-documentary manner and has summarized the contents 
in the form of a partial comparative method according to the theological 
principles of relating natural causes to monotheistic verses
