The Hadith, "Verily, God created Adam in His image", constitutes one of the most contentious and debated traditions within the spheres of theology, anthropology, and Islamic Gnosticism (ʿIrfān), having engendered diverse interpretations and esoteric hermeneutics (ta’wīl) across varied intellectual traditions throughout the centuries. The present research, employing a comparative and analytical perspective, examines the exegesis of this Hadith within two prominent mystico-philosophical systems of thought: the perspectives of Muhyi al-Din Ibn Arabi and Ruhollah Khomeini(r.a.). The fundamental research inquiry seeks to understand the station of man and his existential ranks from the viewpoint of these two thinkers, an understanding contextualized within key concepts such as the Perfect Man (Insān al-Kāmil), Divine Vicegerency (Khilāfat Ilāhiyyah), and the manifestation of the Divine Names and Attributes (Ẓuhūr al-Asmā’ wa al-Ṣifāt). Through the utilization of a descriptive-analytical methodology and drawing upon authentic Gnostic and theological resources, this study demonstrates that although the discursive language and expressive modalities of the two scholars differ, both, in their apprehension of the aforementioned Hadith, have ultimately arrived at the realization of the reality of the Perfect Man as the perfect mirror reflecting the entirety of the Divine Names and Attributes. This view possesses an intimate correlation with the theory of Theophany (Tajallī), the ranks of existence (Marātib al-Wujūd), and the Unity of Witnessing (Waḥdat al-Shuhūd) in Ibn Arabi’s Gnosticism, and with the levels of the soul (Sāḥāt al-Nafs) in Khomeini’s mystical journey (Sulūk). The investigative findings confirm that within both intellectual frameworks, the Hadith on creation in the image of God not only does not carry a physical or external meaning but rather provides a crucial entry point for elucidating the place of man within Gnostic ontology and his specific existential philosophy.
