Abstract

SELF-WATCHFULNESS from Ibn Arabi's and Semnani's viewpoints is to see onSELF infront the presence of the divine beloved and to observe one's heart in order to experience God's SELF-disclosure and with-ness. It is generally regarded as one of the fundamentals of practical mysticism necessary for spiritual wayfaring and particularly can be achieved by WITHDRAWALing the corporeal desires and sitting in solitude with many "Forty days" (' ARBA' IN) and certain conditions.Ibn Arabi and Semnani consider many preparation and conditions necessary for ARBA' IN (Forty days) the most important of which are: 1- solitude 2-permanent ablutions 3- permanent fast 4- silence (except for asking the master to solve a problem) 5- permanent rememberance "la ilaha illallah", there is no god but ALlah) 6- permanent rejection of incoming thoughts 7- submitting the heart to the authority of the master seeking his aspiration (as a mediator to the prophet authority) 8- to be pleased with God and to have no objection in every thing that comes from Him such as spiritual contraction, expanding, soundness and illness.In this way, the wayfarer (salik) can achieve the positions of possessing the "seven spiritual subtle things" (al- Lata' if AL-Sab' a), experiencing a diversity of heart perceptions, formal and spiritual UNVEILINGs and ALso influencing internal and external words. Most important of ALl, he –at the highest station- he reaches the station of union and SELF- annihilation and the station of union of union and subsistence after annihilation.In Simnani's method of ARBA' IN, the role of the master is more prominent and oral remembrance has its position while Ibn Arabi advises the role of the master only when the wayfarer can avoid keeping imaginal form. Ibn Arabi, on the contrary, emphasizes spiritual remembrance in solititude.
