The issue of motion and change in the world has long attracted the attention of all sages, especially muslem thinkers. In Molavi’s ideas, all the parts of the world are in motion. And, this motion is evident in both appearances and the inner nature of the universe. According to Molavi, the interior nature of all phenomena is in motion. The stagnance and apparent motionlessness in the world is illusion. This intellingent movement is only detected by the people of truth like the prophets. Molavi relates the source of this motion in nature to the teleological end of the world as predestined by soleman, and mountains sing with David’s songs. According to Molavi, all movements in this world orginate from a stable truth, which is above any motion and is referred to as “ocean, the den of truth, or the colorless world of peace.” The restless things become peaceful and motionless in this den of truth.
