The discussion of the concept of God is obtained by examining the attributes of God and its relation to the essence and existence of God. Each of the philosophers before Plotinus, according to their own foundations, examined this issue. Our Question is that how to explain concept of God in OTHEOLOGIA and Enneads. And how much do they overlap and what's the difference? Can the two be considered together and provide an explanation on both? the concept of God in the Enneads and OTHEOLOGIA is not the same Sometimes they are in the same direction and sometimes contradict each other. Approach of OTHEOLOGIA about of God is Aristotelian approach. And it speaks of existence, causality and pure action. But in Enneads God is One and over being And with the Analogy of the sun, fire and light are more reminiscent of Plato and his influence. In this article, we must first understand what is meant by "existence" in Enneads and OTHEOLOGIA. Then, consider other properties of God in both the sources of Enneads and OTHEOLOGIA to understand the problem of God and the concept of God in this thinker.

The "epistemology of God and divine attributes" discusses the possibility of knowing God and his attributes, the ways of knowing the attributes, and how to know them. Allameh Hilli, a theologian from the Hillah School with the Peripatetic method, is both influenced by the philosophical foundations of the Peripatetic and Theology of Khajeh Nasir. Examining God and his attributes with an epistemological approach according to his theological view and his interest in philosophy is the issue of this article. How did Allameh Hilli act in recognizing his attributes of God? To what extent does he benefit from philosophy and theology, and consequently from reason and narration in explaining attributes? If he considers the attributes of God to be Toqifi, how can this be combined with the names and attributes of God and the ways of recognizing the attributes and the reasons given for proving the attributes? To examine this question and answer the questions, we first examine the "possibility of knowing God" and the "ways of knowing Him"; Then we explain the ways of knowing the attributes of God. Allameh Helli believes in the "necessity of knowing God" and explains this "obligation" with rational and narrative reasons. God has an extra-religious view mixed with intra-religion.

Avicenna explains theology on the basis of Ontology, and so presents an ontological argument to prove the existence of God. Avicenna’s important philosophical principle is the distinction between existence and essence. Based on the distinction, beings are divided into two kinds: necessary and possible. The distinction between existence and essence is meaningless for necessary beings, this distinctions is just dedicated to possible beings. The question is that what image Avicenna has of God? What concept of God he enjoys? Avicenna's concept of God is expressed in two expressions: ‘God is pure existence’ and ‘the essence of God is his existence’. The important question is that what differences there are between these two claims? Is there any contradiction to which Avicenna may be committed in arguing for God’s pure existence on one hand and talking about the unification of his existence and his essence on the other hand? In this article, examining the two expressions we are going to solve the problem and dong so we take advantage of the analysis of Necessary Being’s features.
