Abstract: Muslim theologians and philosophers generally accept the attribute of will for God, but they disagree about its meaning and quality. Ibn Sina views God's will as an essential entity and define it as active knowledge and providence regarding the good and the better in the system of existence. In addition, he considers God’s agency as one through providence. According to him, the goal of obligatory actions is His essence itself, and it does not come from outside of His essence. One of the results of the discussion is that if Ibn Sina's general philosophical system is considered, his point of view will be a reasonable and defensible one, and the criticisms expressed by critics are not justifiable.
