               Conclusion                            highlighted  by  Ibn  Arabi’s
               In the text that’s presented by       interpretation of the blessed verse:
               Ibn Arabi and  Eckhart in the             “Every moment He is in a
               revelations and complete works,       state”  which  matches  the
               emerges  the  importance  of          mystical  research  with  the
               appearance  in  reporting  the        quran  scripts  in  his  holy
               mystical theory for both mystics.     saying: “He's the first and the
                  Furthermore  one  of  the          last,  the  manifest  and  the
               most  important  points  that         hidding” and this verse that is
               highlights this research is that      considered  the  central  point
               the  research  of  appearance,        for  the  research  of  divine
               which in general is seen to be        appearance  and  hiddenness
               the same as the appearance of         That  is  because  this  verse
               divine  essence,  even  though        took  into  consideration  the
               it  could  be  connected  in          station  of  “He”  which  isn't
               organising  the  worlds  of           used  much  in  the  Quran  and
               existence  or  forming  the           this  usage  is  similar  to  other
               worlds of witnessing.                 expressions  such  as:  God,
                  Another point worth mentioning     Allah,  Lord  of  the  universe,
               is  the  relative;  which  means      Lord  and  there  is  no  doubt
               that the apparent is the same         that  the  mystical  research
               as the appearer and vice versa.       looks  seriously  at  all  these
               Furthermore,  the  philosophy  of     expressions and gives each of
               existence appearer is denying         them an independent meaning,
               the  divine  limits  and  it’s        as  well  as  Eckhart  also

               restriction. It is also what the      the absolute essence and what
               masters of mystics considered         he  expressed  through  the
               it  furthermore  was  also            divine  presence  at  all  times
