‘Thinking about ends, ‘measuring the possible ends’ and ‘the final selection of end or purpose’, are the first stage (the stage of cognition) of the stages of issuance of action for Muslim philosophers in their analysis of the philosophy of action. Analyses regarding the recognition of end and purpose at this stage, are epistemological, therefore are influenced by human perceptual powers, and particularly the mode of imagination and its effect on the scientific basis of act issuance. The main issue of this research is to recognize the place, function, and the influencing mechanism of imagination in the cognition and selection of ends (goals). The results show the effective and extensive influence of imagination power on ‘human self-knowledge’ and ‘the selection of goals’. Motive and will to do a particular behavior or act is also based on the needs and perfectionism of the subject, which is formed in the light of the images which imagination power constructs of the subject and its surrounding objects, so that behavioral goals and motivations are belonged to human’s imaginative images, not external facts.

Self-existent in its essence has multiple inherent and real qualities. On the other hand, self-existent has the most simple and pure essentiality. The summation of the extreme simplicity and the diversity of God’s qualities is done based on the Mulla Sadra’s perspective on the essence of simplicity, relying on the rule of simplicity of essence in its gradation. The particular point of view offered by Mulla Sadra about the traits leads to attributing some more special characteristics to the divine existent. The purpose of the current study is to explain the characteristics offered by Mulla Sadra, concentrating on the Sadraian rule of the simplicity of essence and its gradation
