Abstract The first part of this paper focuses on the general significance of the symbols representing the truth, which are above thought and perception. The second part describes four attitudes of the heart, according to Tirmidhi's treatise, Bayan al-farq bayn aş-şadr wa l-qalb wa l-fu'ad wa l-lubb. In the last and the main part of the paper, Ibn 'Arabī's doctrine of the mystical-metaphysical cognition and his teaching of "the eye of the heart", based on his Fuşuş al-hikam are explained.
