چکیده:
According to Allameh Hilli, the concept of God is based on the two concepts of "necessity of existence" and "perfection", and these two concepts are the basis for explaining the semantics of attributes. The concept of "necessity of existence" is a philosophical concept that has entered from the peripatetic philosophy into the theological discussion of the school of "Hillah" and although the concept of "perfection" presupposes the discussion of attributes and even the proof for the existence of God, it is discussed little in Islamic theology. Here, the relation between these two concepts in theology as well as the explanation of the attributes of God is discussed. The question is: “What is the relation between "necessity of existence" and "absolute perfection"?”; Are these two concepts deliverable to each other or are they based on two independent concepts? The concept of perfection for Allameh Hilli has been expressed with completeness, and in the semantic analysis of attributes, including positive and negative attributes, the concept of "perfection" is the background and default; But the concept of "necessity of existence" is the basis in the semantic analysis of some negative and positive attributes. Accordingly, in this article, by explaining the semantics of the concept of perfection and necessity of existence, and examining the semantics of attributes based on those two concepts, we arrive at the relationship of equality between the two concepts of necessity of existence and perfection; In other words, with the negation of the perfection of existence, existence will become meaningless, and with the negation of the necessity of existence, perfection will become relative. Since this issue is a theoretical and conceptual discussion, its method is also descriptive and analytical. By conceptual analysis of Qur'anic attributes of God and their philosophical explanation based on "perfection", practical benefit is also obtained.

The Relationship between Necessity of Existence and Absolute Perfection in the Theology of Allama Hilli Hassan Abbasi Hossein Abadi 1 Akram Abdollahpour 2 Abstract The reading of the concept of God according to Allama Hilli is based on two concepts: "Necessity of Existence" and "Perfection," and these two concepts serve as the basis for explaining the semantics of attributes.
The relationship between these two concepts in theology and the explanation of God's attributes according to Allama Hilli is the subject of the present writing, and the question is: What is the relationship between "Necessity of Existence" and "Absolute Perfection"?

(Beheshti, 1386: 1) Necessity of existence, according to Khwaja and consequently Allama Hilli, is a foundational concept that through its analysis and explanation, perfectional and negative attributes can be clarified.
In the book Asrar al-Khafiyyah, after explaining the attribute of "Ghani" (Self-Sufficient), he says that these matters are also necessary for the Generous; "meaning that in terms of His essence and His attributes, He has no need for others; moreover, there is no purpose for God's action; because whatever action issues from Him for a purpose, if that action does not exist, then that purpose has not been achieved for Him, and whenever that action is performed, His action is the best and the first of all actions, and whatever His action is the best and the first, then He is that very purpose and is perfect, and there is no deficiency in Him" (Hilli, 1387b: 540).
