These concepts present a complex dilemma, often leading to debates among scholars and mystics about reconciling the human-like attributes ascribed to God with the divine transcendence that places Him beyond all such characteristics. This article explores the perspectives of Ibn Arabi on the interplay of transcendence and simile, arguing that Ibn Arabi rejects both absolute transcendence and absolute simile. Instead, he proposes a comprehensive view harmonising the two, offering a balanced understanding of the divine. 2024 181 202 pending https://iranianstudies.org/transcendent_philosophy/volume-25-number-36/ibn-arabi-and-transcendence-and-simile
