Abstract

Allah Almighty and creatures, according to mystics, are not separated from each other. Creation is the manifestation of Allah’s goodness. When Allah wanted to be known, love began. Love is the first manifestation of existence, preceded by nothing. Allah Almighty is beautiful and beauty inherently deserves to be beloved. Had Allah not manifested in the attribute of His beauty, the world would have not emerged. It was through Love that the world came into existence. The principle of movement of the world has been the movement of love which still is going on. In this article, the mystic opinion on the relationship between Allah and the creatures is analyzed, and in the light of those words of philosophers it has been criticized.
