    abstract = {In Ibn Arabi’s opinion, ilm (science) was persistent revelation of god to heart which had not been
veiled by worldly occupations. True ilm was accompanied with practice and its outcome was intangible
paradise. He believed that ilm had a divine nature and marifah (knowledge) had a lordly nature. Therefore,
according to him, ilm was superior over marifah. Based on this difference, manifah is from the universe of
creation and ilm is from the universe of imperative. So, this study aims to explain ilm and marifah from
perspective of Ibn Arabi. For this purpose, first Ibn Arabi’s opinion on ilm and its difference with marifah and
finally, features of ilm are described.}
