To. According to Ibn Arabi's theology, truth is a plural concept and has various examples. According to his comments in Fosus al-Hekam, God is one by nature, but by name he is general and plural.

According to Rumi, the truth has been explored according to five headings attention to a personal truth, acceptance of the wayfarers of the truth and their inevitability, attention to the plurality of religions and the multiplicity of this plurality, emphasis on the truth on the way, and finally emphasis on the perspective of the truth.
