Femininity and masculinity are two correlative concepts, each of which can only be defined and explained by reference to the characteristics of the other. This article seeks to articulate the ontological, practical, and epistemological components of masculine identity in Ibn ʿArabī’s thought. The central signifier of masculine identity is "unity," whereas the central signifier of feminine identity is "multiplicity." This unity manifests itself ontologically at the level of aḥadiyya (uniqueness), whose principal characteristic is inclusivity, symbolized by Adam. From a practical perspective, unity is reflected in integration and order, exemplified by God's manifestation in the station of raḥmāniyya (all-encompassing mercy), with Idrīs serving as its symbol in Ibn ʿArabī's thought. The realization of unity in epistemological terms occurs through manifestation at the level of intellect (ʿaql), characterized by a transcendental, formless, and holistic understanding of reality, symbolized by Moses. Therefore, in Ibn ʿArabī's view, masculine identity, given the three aforementioned components, is oriented toward the arc of ascent (qaws al-ṣuʿūd) and the movement from multiplicity toward unity. This identity fundamentally seeks to gather and harmonize multiplicities under a singular entity. Its mode of perception and understanding is such that it grasps multiplicities in coherence with one another, in terms of a single whole, possessing a holistic understanding of reality. It is an identity that strives to reconcile and bring together divergent elements within itself.
