Abstract The Quality.of Issuing a plurality of unity is the Important and central issues in philosophy that Islamic scholars are interested in it for two aspects: THE agency of God and the appearance of Multiplicity in world. Ibn Sina and Suhrawardi have explained emanation theory based on “Al-Vahed’’ axiom. In this context, despite differences in principles, they have done in a certain way, so that Ibn Sina explains this theory based on dual necessity and possible directions in decuple reasons and by assuming of the credit plurality of first reason, while Suhrawardi has examined in detail contrast and the difference between the Light of Lights (Noor ul-Anwar) and first light (Noor-e Avval) by mentioning to imperfection of these two aspects and he points to endless chain of the longitudinal and transverse lights according to the broad directions of illumination (Eshragh) and observation. Also, He proves the category of the Lord of the varieties based on the principle with an emphasis on imaginary world. Thus, he replaces the mutual interaction of Illuminative optics (Noorshenâsi-e Eshraghi) with uncompromising necessity and one-sided Peripatetic ontology. About Creation, Suhrawardi knows divine Knowledge from the kind of the Eshraghi increase by rejecting of ethereal (Enayati) science and he attributes the process of the formation of the universe to the amazing system of Lights (Anwâr).
