Abstract
In this article, we argue that Muslim scholars have divided divine knowledge into three categories including substantial knowledge, knowledge of the creatures before creation, and knowledge of creatures and objects after creation. In fact, there is disagreement among the Islamic thinkers over the divine knowledge, its quality, and features. The point of controversy revolves around the wide disagreements over the divine knowledge of the creatures and objects both before and after creation. Therefore, divine knowledge over creatures before and after creation has always been the point of ongoing and challenging rational and dialectical discussion and debate. We examine this issue comparatively between the three Islamic thinkers (Mulla Sadra, Shaarani and Assar).
