Pantheism, the doctrine of the Personal Unity of Existence (waḥdat al-wujūd al-shakhṣīyah) expresses the idea that the entirety of existence is filled by a single, simple, and infinite Being, and that apart from this Being, no other true existence is realized in the world. However, the doctrine does not deny the multiplicities apart from that singular, personal existence. It acknowledges them, but considers them as accidental (by way of hīthīyāt taqīdīyah), existing only in relation to the Absolute Existence. The divine mystics, in presenting their mystical experiences (mushāhadah), have not found them to be in conflict with divine revelation (wahy). On the contrary, they have considered some verses of the Holy Qur'an as evidence supporting their own mystical insights.
In the present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, the implications of Surah al-Hadid V. 4 and Surah al-Anfal V. 17 are examined through rationally literal reading (‘istihdār), aiming to validate the claim that these verses support the doctrine of the Personal Unity of Existence or its clear logical consequences. The analysis concludes that the apparent meaning of these verses aligns with the teachings of waḥdat al-wujūd al-shakhṣīyah. Consequently, the weaknesses in the critics' views on the Personal Unity of Existence -stemming from their specific presuppositions, infrastructure and multiple structural flaws- become evident.
