Summary/Abstract: Any discussion about spiritual anthropology within the Sufi doctrine is almost impossible without comprehending the spiritual and metaphysical cosmology, as a kind of archetype of the Perfect human on the Earth. We can say that the cosmology of hazrat Ibn ‘Arabī (d.1240) can be taken as one of the most fragmented and most complete cosmologies. In this paper, we present introductory analysis of his cosmology from which all others develop in an analytical sense. It is about the development of the Tradition about “the Hidden treasury”and the Breath of the Merciful, as the cause of all the creation and the basis for “drawing”of “the five presences” or five hahrat which are famous in Sufism.
