A Comparative Study of the Seal of Sainthood (Khatm al-Wilayah) from the Perspective of Ibn Arabi and Sayyid Haydar Amuli مقاله

The reality of Wilayah, like the Muhammadan Reality, has levels and manifestations, each of which possesses various and manifold rulings, encompassing all levels of Wilayah; all prophets and saints are branches and followers of this station, and according to the expression of Ibn Arabi, every prophet and every saint who attains any beauty or perfection, has obtained it from the niche of the Seal of Saints. The Seal of Wilayah must follow the Sharia of the Seal, and he must not obtain the Sharia of the Seal through books, reports, or hadiths; rather, he must obtain it either through revelation or directly from the blessed spirit of the Supreme Presence (as), and Jesus (as) is such; because he descends during the time of Imam Mahdi (aj) and will rule according to the Sharia of the Seal of the Prophets, and also due to his own prophethood, he receives the Sharia from revelation, and due to his closeness to the Seal of the Prophets (saw), he also receives it from the spirit of that Presence (Ibn Arabi, ibid).
