Abstract
<p>This article investigates the possibility of finding common ground between philosophy and Sufism. It aims to answer whether these two can converge on an epistemological level. The discourse of <em>al-'ilm al-</em><em>ẖ</em><em>udh</em><em>ū</em><em>ri</em> was used to answer this question. The main source for this article's study is the works of Mulla Sadra and Suhrawardi, which are analyzed descriptively with a philosophical approach. This article concludes that <em>al-'ilm al-</em><em>ẖ</em><em>udh</em><em>ū</em><em>ri</em> is a form of real knowledge obtained by individuals directly from God without needing mental representation or linguistic symbolism. This knowledge is spiritual, not sensory-rational. Mulla Sadra and Suhrawardi believe that the only way to obtain this knowledge is through spiritual observation by practicing Sufism, which involves the rites of <em>mujahadah</em> and <em>riyadhah</em>.</p>
