On the one hand, "The truth of existence" in transcendent wisdom is the title on which Mulla Sadra relies in important philosophical problems. He makes special rules such as primacy, unity and modulation for this title. On the other hand, He enumerates only three types of existence: the existence of God, the absolute existence, and the constrained existence. The relationship of that truth with these three types is very important in understanding Mulla Sadra's philosophical system. In this article, with the content analysis method, more focus has been placed on understanding this relationship and based on this, there is a discussion of the credits of existence, especially the credits of the " non-conditioned". Using the characteristics that Mulla Sadra expresses for the three types of existence and also Examining the accessories that each of the credits entails, it has been concluded that in Mulla Sadra's philosophy, the truth of existence, which has a divisive rule for these three, is non-conditioned. This validity is not related to the existence of God but only to the expanded existence with unconditional characteristics. According to Mulla Sadra's evidence and statements, this non-conditioned existence is the same as absolute existence in the subject of philosophy that it is possible to know God in its mirror.

The kind of combination of matter and form is one of the issues that philosophers dispute about it. Most of earlier philosophers believed in concrete composition. In the meanwhile, Seyyed Sanad believed in the union combination of matter and form, and Mulla Sadra took the same view. His arguments are very similar to those of Seyyed Sanad in terms of content and expressions, so this supposition is strengthened that Mulla Sadra merely accepted this theory and did not invent anything. But it is noteworthy that despite of this amount of similarity in the principle of the theory, the reasons for proving and answering the doubts, Mulla Sadra claims that his theory is other than the theory of Seyyed Sanad. After studying the theory and principles of each of those two philosophers, it is concluded that the correctness of the union combination of matter and form is based on principles such as the principality of existence, analogical gradation of existence and substantial motion. Irrespective of the principality of existence, about which Seyyed Sanad's belief is disputed, Seyyed Sanad definitely does not believe in the analogical gradation of existence and substantial movement. Therefore it can be said that Mulla Sadra has provided a novel interpretation of the theory of the union combination of matter and form with his principles.

Human fall is one of the key issues of anthropological concern in religious studies and philosophical investigations; it not only accounts for the nature of human soul rather it refers to the latter’s origin and its emergence. Although fall has been discussed in some prophetic traditions and sayings; for Mulla Sadra it is of philosophical interest and has been discussed along with the issues of soul’s origination. Thus this essay seeks to study the issue of human soul’s fall in the context of Mull Sadra’s philosophical discussions of soul as a whole and in view of a set of certain prophetic traditions. It aims at providing a picture of fall from a religious and philosophical point of view. Taking a problem-oriented approach, this research struggles to explain the bodily emergence and spiritual eternity of human soul and demonstrate that origination and fall are not of a contradictive or differentiated nature in Sadra’s view rather they are totally coherent; it also studies the philosophical, mystical and exegetical attitudes of Sadra on the existential status of human soul and its knowledge. Finally it seeks to offer a rational interpretation of ontological aspects of the fall of human soul drawing upon Sadra’s ideas concerning human realization.
