The relationship between Tradition and Manufacture(الصناعه) in the Qur'an and Islamic mysticism
(Reflection on the theoretical foundations of Manufacture in Islamic civilization)
There are three terms for art in Iranian Islamic culture: Art(هونر), Manufacture(الصناعه) and technique (فن) . Of these three terms, the word Hunar is completely Iranian and has Avesta roots. But the two another terms Manufacture(الصناعه) and technique (فن) are completely Arabic, and in fact they are translation of the Greek word Techne. The word الصناعه is the only word used for art in the Qur'an. In some verses of the Quran, this word expresses divine action. For Example in (Naml 88)وَتَرَى: الْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَهِیَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحَابِ صُنْعَ اللَّهِ الَّذِی أَتْقَنَ کُلَّ شَیْءٍ (And you will see the mountains which you think to be firm pass by like clouds. (Such is the) making of Allah, who has created everything well. He is Aware of the things you do.) And in other verses, it is an action that God teaches to man like وَعَلَّمْنَاهُ صَنْعَةَ لَبُوسٍ لَکُمْ (We taught him the craft of making (AL-ANBIYA 80) or فَأَوْحَیْنَا إِلَیْهِ أَنِ اصْنَعِ الْفُلْکَ بِأَعْیُنِنَا وَوَحْیِنَا (We said to him: 'Make the Ark under Our Eye, and Our Revelation, AL-MUMENOON 27) Therefore, in the Qur'an, الصناعه refers to Making. But in the Quran, there is another fundamental word Tradition(السنۀ) that expresses the eternal law in the world. This word has an important relationship with the command( الامر ) which is the emergence of divine creation. In the Qur'an, there is a relationship between Tradition and Manufacture .This meaning also appears in Islamic mysticism, especially in the opinions of Ibn Arabi. He believes that God appears in the world through Manufacture. (بالصنعة ظهر الحق فی الوجود) This article has investigated and researched the relationship between Tradition and Manufacture with an interpretive analytical method. This research shows that there is a clear relationship between tradition and Manufacture in the Qur'an and Islamic mysticism.
