Kitab al-Alal explains the principles and first causes of things and discusses God. The issue of this article is the ontological position of intelligence in Kitab al-Alal. The question is what is the ontological position of intelligence in Kitab al-Alal and how can it be explained? Is it possible to assign the position of teleology to the perfection and happiness of man in the Book of Causes? In terms of existence, intelligence is the first creature, and the closest being to the first cause, and it is in the second place after the first cause. The ontological effectiveness of the intelligence is in two ways: planning and ruling, and creating; The act of intellection is the act of creation. In this article, in order to explain this issue and answer the questions in a descriptive and analytical way, we will explain and analyze the chapters related to the intelligence.
