Abstract
One of the most disputable matters is the problem of incidence-eternity. However, this problem was dealt with by theologians erroneously as to how God created the existence, as to whether he created it or not. Whereas, al-Farabi who first focused on this problem in all details brought the problem on agenda merely to explain the position of other beings which are deficit and effect in comparison with God who is most active, cause of everything. Therefore, his claim that the universe is eternal is not a matter equal to God, since, as a necessary being God is the most eternal. Another reason for al-Farabi’s studying this matter is to identify whether God is obliged or free being on account of his essence. Indeed, he argued and explained that God created the universe eternally and compulsorily due to the essential knowledge the universe owned
