Purpose: This study aims to explore the secret knowledge within the Sufi views of Ibn Sina, focusing on how his philosophical and scientific perspectives intersect with spiritual interpretations. The objective is to understand Ibn Sina’s contribution to Sufi thought, especially his vision of the macrocosm (olami akbar) as perceived through the soul.

Research methodology: The research adopts a qualitative philosophical approach, combining textual analysis of Ibn Sina’s writings with interpretative methods drawn from Sufi hermeneutics. Primary texts and secondary commentaries were examined to trace the integration of metaphysics, mysticism, and ethical systems in his worldview.

Results: The findings indicate that Ibn Sina’s intellectual legacy is not confined to rational science but also deeply influenced by Sufi ideas of truth, self-knowledge, and spiritual ascent. His teachings emphasize moral qualities, the pursuit of higher mind, and the recognition of the root cause of existence. The analysis reveals that Ibn Sina valued the merits of Sufis and acknowledged their role in uncovering deeper spiritual realities.

Conclusions: Ibn Sina’s synthesis of philosophy and Sufism demonstrates the compatibility between rational inquiry and mystical insight. His ideas provide a framework for understanding the inner essence of spirituality and its ethical foundations.

Limitations: The study is limited to available textual sources and may not fully capture the oral traditions and experiential dimensions of Sufism.

Contribution: This research enriches the discourse on Islamic philosophy by situating Ibn Sina not only as a scientist and philosopher but also as a thinker deeply attuned to mystical traditions.
