Many of Islamic philosophers such as Alfarabi, Ikhwan alsafa, Ibn sina, Suhrewardi and Mulla sadra have considered many attributes essential for metaphysics students or who wants to study metaphysics. Some of these attributes are moral and others are related to knowledge. What are related to knowledge are about the sciences should be known before metaphysics or about modes of the student during studying metaphysics. Some of these attributes are exclusive to some especial philosophy systems and some are for all. Some of these attributes are vital and others are changeable or unnecessary. Believing in a religion and Avoiding inordinate desires, ambition of position and vices are examples of vital moral features. Studying physics and mathematics before metaphysics is essential only for some metaphysics systems like Peripatetic metaphysics, since some parts of their philosophy are based on those two sciences. Knowing logic is needed for all logical philosophies but can be non-essential.
