Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of Al-Wahdatul Wujud Ibnu Arabi. Ibnu Arabi is a well-known philosof in Islam and he was born in Sapin on 570 hijriah. His philosophical concept and sufistic thought is mostly influenced by  Ibn Rushd's and Ibn Sina's philosophy. Ibu Arabi argues that everything in nature has the essence of being" Al-Farabi's philosophy, with the concept of emission (emanation) philosophy Folotinus, "which says that the “One” is everywhere and\ there is no where as a cause. Ibnu Arabi uses the term absolute (al-wujud al-mutlaq) or universal form (al-wujud al Kully) to show reality of the ultimate humans life. Absolute is  not limited to any particular form, but is common to all forms of life. Absolute is also understood  in the sense of not being in all forms but forms that transcend all the human beings.
