Abstract
The Islamic Philosophers view about union between Divine Attributes in object and referring Will to eternal knowledge, was not accepted in opinion of Kalam authorities. Also, the Ibn Sina's view in Divine agency by providence that is an existential agency and it's application for solution some of theological difficulties such as problem of Eviles provided a suitable field for discussion. Fakhar Razi, who emphasis on foundations of Ash'arites, did not see the explanation of philosophers to be successful about God's essential will. He accuses them in denying the will of God. In his view the mean of Will is aim and decision which is added to Essence and determins each of beings to it's time to be.
This article mentions the result of Ibn Sina's essay in negation goal and purpose for Divine acts, don't negate His Will and Wisdom, rather means that His aim is Himself and will otheres beacuse will Himself, also Divine providence which is immediate knowledge to the best arrangement of things, helps Ibn Sina to solve some of theological problems.
