Abstract
Pleasure is one of the most important issues that has focused the human mind for a long time. Philosophers have considered pleasure to be the perception of what is appropriate. In the philosophical tradition of Masha, various topics have been discussed, including the nature of pleasure, its types, the process of obtaining it, and other issues. One of the most important philosophical questions in this field is whether God also enjoys? Philosophers of Masha, including Aristotle, Farabi and Ibn Sina, all three have acknowledged this issue and in an evolutionary path and with a slight difference, they have proposed special theological foundations to prove and provide a possible explanation in a philosophical way of how to achieve pleasure in the divine nature. According to the ideas of these thinkers, the existence of God must be realized. This obligation has led to the realization of endless current perfections for God, which is considered His beauty. God, who is above celibacy and pure reason, perceives his beauty in the strongest way. The perception of infinite beauty brings pleasure and then happiness and infinite love in the divine essence. This research has been carried out in a descriptive, analytical and library method.
