Abstract
The Islamic theological school, by accepting the principle of ủzli separation and recognizing the typological and structural difference between the existence of things and the Existence of God, has interpreted God's coexistence with creatures in a scientific-powerful manner; that is, in terms of scientific coexistence, God has comprehension on beings and has knowledge to them. But from Mủlla Sadrả's perspective, and based on principles such as the originality of existence, the simple reality, and the negation of numerical unity, this verse offers a deeper understanding of God's relationship with creatures and explains the relationship between God and creatures in an existential way. In this research, by using the descriptive-analytical method, the issue of coexistence in the thoughts of Imamiyyả theologians and Sadrian wisdom from verse 7 of Surah Al-Mujadala is explained and investigated. Although Mủlla Sadrả agrees with theologians in accepting scientific coexistence, he believes that God, because of His existential flow in all aspects of creatures, has existential coexistence with every creature, and that although God is with creatures, He is free from their existential imperfections. Mủlla Sadrả's existential coexistence proves the pure neediness identity of creatures to God.
