The symbols that Ibn Arabi employs serve as valuable treasures of truths and knowledge, which he utilizes in both complex and hidden forms, as well as in clear and comprehensible ways. This study explores the symbolism of birds in Ibn Arabi's thought and its connection to his mystical metaphysics. The imagery of birds and flight has historically symbolized the ascent of the human spirit to a transcendent reality. Ibn Arabi considers the tree as a symbol of the "insan kamel" with its branches and leaves representing birds such as the Waraqaa, the Eagle, the Anqa, and the Raven.The Waraqaa symbolizes the "Preserved Tablet" and the "Mobin Book"; the Eagle represents the "First Pen" and the "Supreme Pen"; the Anqa is recognized as a symbol of "Dust" and "Hyle"; and the Raven is identified as a symbol of the "Universal Body." These symbols reflect the manifestations of the human spirit and the quest for absolute truth. In Ibn Arabi's metaphysics, they acquire a deeper meaning as various manifestations of existence. Ultimately, this symbolism points to a cosmic union that signifies the interconnectedness of different elements of the universe and the profound bond among beings. This research, conducted through a descriptive-analytical method, reveals that the symbols of birds in Ibn Arabi's works not only express profound mystical concepts but also assist us in achieving a better understanding of the truth of existence and the spiritual relationships within the cosmos, leading to a deeper comprehension of Ibn Arabi's metaphysics.
