Abstract

This article compares the viewpoint of Ghazali and molavi
about vision of God. Ghazali and Molavi are Asharites and both
believe in the vision of God. In addition to the theological view,
their mystical view has been effective in shaping their thinking
about quality, location and visibility tool of the vision of God.
Ghazali’s theological's view is dominates his mystical view but
Molavi's mystical view is dominates his theological's view.
Ghazali, like other Ash'arites, believed that God is not visible in
the world. He is visible only in the other world and only for the
believers with outward eye. Molavi is not absolute emulator of
Asharites' theology. He believes that God is visible with heart’s
eye in the world and the other world. But the outward eyes are
incapable of vision of God. Human being has innate senses that
make the human's dignity, and god is visible with the inner
senses.
