Abstract

The Negative Theology of “ Waqfih” in Al-All&fgrp=All&fyrs=All" target="_blank">Niffari’ s Al-Kitā b Al-Mawā qif Mystics' views on the critique of knowledge is a subject that has been less addressed so far. In essence, it seems that critique of knowledge by those who are mystics, that is, are known to have knowledge, to be a contradiction. But this contradiction leads us to reflect on the true nature and structure of knowledge in the eyes of mystics. Muhammad ibn Al/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=All&fgrp=All&fyrs=All" target="_blank">Abd Al-Jabbar ibn Al-Hasan Al-All&fgrp=All&fyrs=All" target="_blank">Niffari in his book, Al-Kitā b Al-Mawā qif (The Book of Standings) tAlks about seventy-seven ‘ mawqif’ (standings/stayings) in the process of the mystic's spirituAl journey. They do not have a definite order, but they follow a pattern of structure and content. Another term is ‘ waqfih’ that refers to a period of contemplation in which the mystic becomes aware of his position. The structure of Al-Kitā b Al-Mawā qif is based on The Negative Theology; All of the book is about negation of the position of ‘ waqfih’ , and in the most positions, the author ends his speech with negative words. The aim of present article is to consider the role of ‘ waqfih’ and the elements of The Negative Theology in the thoughts of Al-All&fgrp=All&fyrs=All" target="_blank">Niffari. The research is done from three perspective: existentiAl, epistemologicAl and linguistic by using an anAlyticAl-comparative method. The results indicate that Al-All&fgrp=All&fyrs=All" target="_blank">Niffari in his book, before Ibn Arabi, have ontologicAlly provided the basis for attention to the Divine essence and the concept of non-existence. According to Al-All&fgrp=All&fyrs=All" target="_blank">Niffari, the reAlity of knowledge is “ wise ignorance” and astonishment, and his mute and contradictory language refers to his negative speech.
