                      (Qushayri, 2009: 110)          we  come  to  Ibn  Arabi  on  the
                                                     true  background  on  which  the

               man      several    times     and     books  that  deal  with  the  idea
               indicates  that  it  is  specific  to   of  the  Perfect  man,  and  this
               perfection only. He says:             issue  is  the  Divine  image,  so
                      “As  I  said  earlier  that    the  reality  of  the  Perfect  man
                      these  words  and  this        is  that  he  is  the  Divine  image
                      process  are  concerned        and the mirror that reflects the
                      with  the  good  and  the      Divine  manifestation  In  him
                      perfection  of  people         and this  is his secret, and this

                      and absorbed the essence          Indeed,  it  can  be  said  that
                      of all the virtues”.           all  of  man’s  perfect  research,
                                                     and  every  issue  that  is

               worlds, originally through this       image  that  deserves  every
               proposition  presented  by  Ibn       description  attached  to  him,
               Arabi,  because  the  purpose  of     Ibn Arabi says:
               the  Perfect  man  is  this                  “The  Perfect  man  who
               management,  leadership,  and                appears  in  the  Divine
               appreciation.                                image, God did not give

                      Perfect man who manages               called him a caliph, and

                      is  the  crow,  we  say  the          the  first  alone  is  the
