Abstract
El concepto de la forma divina del ser humano es mencionado en varias descripciones en las tres religiones abrahámicas mayores. El enfoque tradicional judeocristiano de Imago Dei (La imagen de Dios) tiene tres perspectivas principales: sustantiva, funcional y relacional. Ibn ‘Arabī, como pensador y místico musulmán, explicó esta idea a través del concepto de espejo y otros dos conceptos, a saber, el ‘Hombre Perfecto’ y la vicegerencia de Dios. Consideró la forma divina del ser humano como un espejo a través del cual Dios se manifiesta. Este artículo ofrece una visión general comprensiva de la interpretación de Ibn ‘Arabī a la luz de los enfoques judeocristianos. La explicación de Ibn ‘Arabī incluye tres enfoques. A través del concepto del hombre perfecto, la explicación de Ibn ‘Arabī se acerca a la interpretación sustantiva, y a través del concepto de vicegerencia, revela la interpretación funcional. El artículo reconoce una interpretación relacional de la forma divina a través de algunas explicaciones contradictorias que pueden hallarse en sus libros. Este análisis de su explicación también arroja bastante luz sobre aspectos de su perspectiva antropológica.

The concept of Imago Dei concerns the divine form as manifest in human beings
The functional approach to Imago Dei concerns the human capacity to exercise duties as God’s deputy on earth. This interpretation considers the whole of man physically and intellectually, which means Imago Dei can be interpreted as the extent to which a human being responds and functions on earth as God’s vicegerent and image
Substantive, Functional and Relational Approaches to Imago Dei Found in Ibn ‘Arabī’s Perspective
Summary
The concept of Imago Dei concerns the divine form as manifest in human beings. The theory originates with Judeo-Christian tradition and derives from the Old Testament. The concept initially appeared among Muslims with mystics like Shiblī and Ḥallāj.[2] Ghazzālī analyzed it but Ibn ‘Arabī’s approach became an integral part of his philosophical system. His paradigm recognizes three major attitudes and lends perspective on human nature and purpose. IMAGO DEI: IBN ‘ARABĪ’S PERSPECTIVE IN LIGHT OF JUDEO-CHRISTIAN TRADITION lamic thought God originated everything, including mankind who has a special position among all creatures. Henry Corbin (1988) posits that Imago Dei implies that God shines through humanity and presents an existential narration of the human ‘self’ based on Ibn ‘Arabī’s thought. The authors analyze his definition of ‘Divine Form’ through the Judeo-Christian relational approach to demonstrate how Ibn ‘Arabī reached his existential interpretation(s)
