| 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. | ||
