چکیده:
The subject of the Perfect Human is among the deep-rooted mystical and, from a certain perspective, philosophical topics that throughout history have been the focus of thinkers in the field of mysticism. In other words, the issue of the Perfect Human has a deep connection with theoretical mysticism and, along with the issue of monotheism, forms the core of mysticism. The people of God believe that the Perfect Human is a complete mirror of the Truth and a model and standard for human beings, and when the Almighty willed the intuition of His essence, He manifested Himself in him with all names and attributes. The Perfect Human is the manifestation of the Greatest Divine Name and the جامع (comprehensive) of all names and attributes, which has spread across the scope of existence and given it being. Ibn Arabi named man the Caliph and the comprehensive cosmos. The reason for this naming is the comprehensiveness of the Perfect Human, in whom all the truths of the world of existence are hidden. Through the channel of the Perfect Human after the creation of the world, the survival and continuity of grace upon the manifestations of the world will also occur, and likewise, the manifestations of the world of existence traverse the ascending arc through the Perfect Human. The Perfect Human is the spirit and soul of all creatures of the world, penetrating into souls and permeating hearts; if he were not in the world, the earth would swallow its inhabitants, as in: 'Were it not for the Proof, the earth would have swallowed its inhabitants'.

In another place, Ibn Arabi describes creation as follows: When God willed to create man and bring him to the pinnacle of perfection, He granted him all the truths of the universe, and all the Names became manifested in him.
An important sign of the perfect human is that he holds the secrets and truths of existence collectively within himself and is the manifestor of all the names and attributes of God. For this reason, the most worthy of beings for the station of the vicegerency of God (Khalifatullah) in the cosmos and space is the perfect human; not only on Earth.
However, God Almighty does not make Himself known except to the perfect human who has dedicated himself solely to God. Ibn Arabi considers the only way to know the Truth to be the intuition of the realities of the Names and Attributes through the heart, and deems rational reasoning rejected, considering those who seek the path of animalistic intellect to be veiled from all realities, and that they will never attain union.
His outward aspect is the version of the celestial and spiritual realms (Malak and Malakut), and his inward aspect is overflowing with the treasures of the Living and Self-Subsisting God. The form of the perfect human, which is a divine form, is the جامع (comprehensive) of all cosmic forms, and his nurturer is the Greatest Name that rules over all Names (Imam Khomeini, 1386: 43).
