Islamic philosophers, like their Greek predecessors, have discussed
the essence and quiddity of the body. Suhrawardi and Mulla Sadra,
among the others, have proposed some ideas concerning the nature
of the body and its characteristics. Suhrawardi considers the body in
three different stages: first, following the Peripatetic philosophy, he
defines it as a subsistence composed of "form" and “matter". Then
he moves to regard it as mere magnitude. Finally, Suhrawardi
defines the body according to his own illuminative principles as the
composition of attributive light and dark substance. Sadra,
according to his principle of the "principality of Existence", sees the
quiddity of the body as something composed of matter and form,
but its true reality is nothing but existence. In this paper, we argue
that there is not any contradiction between Suhravardi's different
views depending on everystaye since each of them is proposed in a
specific context. On the other hand, we show that Sadra's existential
philosophy, necessarily concludes to a result which the real essence
of the body is nothing than existence. Final section, we make some
comparisons between the views of these two great Muslim
philosophers
