The popular interpretation of Avicenna’s position concerning God’s knowledge of particulars is that in his opinion God does not know the particulars. Despite Avicenna’s apparent emphasis that God knows everything, he did not sound credible to many interpreters. Avicenna’s position on the divine knowledge of particulars must be considered in the light of his conception of divine knowledge and its role in the existence of things, as, for Avicenna, divine knowledge of other things is ultimately the sole condition of their existence. Accordingly, Avicenna’s explanation of ‘how God knows the particulars’ provides a successful account of the divine knowledge of particular things and events, if one takes into account Avicenna’s explanation of ‘how God knows particulars’ together with the role he assigns to divine knowledge in the existence of the things.
İbn Sînâ’nın Allah’ın cüz’îleri bilmesi konusundaki görüşü hususunda ilim adamları birbiriyle çelişen yorumlara sahiptir. İbn Sînâ Allah’ın cüz’îleri bildiğini vurgulamışsa da, okuyucularının ve yorumcularının pek çoğunun bunu inandırıcı bulmamış olması dikkat çekicidir. Bu konuda İbn Sînâ’ya inanmakta güçlük çeken bazı yorumcuları doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak, İbn Sînâ’nın görünüşte böyle söylese de, gerçekte bunu kastetmiş olamayacağını belirtmektedirler.
