The issue of being as the best order has always attracted the attention of many thinkers
and Islamic philosophers and theologians in particular. Moreover, for a long time, there have
been several extensive discussions in this regard between two groups of thinkers: those who
deny it, and those who agree with it. This subject is also the center of attention today
considering manʹs philosophical and scientific growth concerning the complicated and accurate
order of the world of being. The discussion of the best order, on the one hand, depends on the

divine acts, the argument of order and cosmology, and the knowledge, power, and wisdom of
Almighty Truth. Accordingly, the writer has tried to clarify this issue and pose its philosophicaldesign and basis. In doing so, he has developed and presented some ten reasons and. finally.
