One of the key proponents of the Platonic Forms theory during the Islamic period was the distinguished philosopher Mir Damad. He sought to reconcile Platonic Forms with the philosophical foundations he developed, namely huduth dahri (metatemporal creation) and al-qada’ al-‘ayni (objective decree). This article revisits the concept of Platonic Forms within Mir Damad’s "Yamani Wisdom" and explores how this theory fits into his broader intellectual framework. Mir Damad envisioned a cosmos consisting of three realms: sarmad (perpetuity), dahr (eternity), and zaman (time). Material entities, which exist within the sphere of time, are immutable in relation to the immaterial entities residing in the realm of dahr. In this sense, material and temporal entities maintain a fixed existence within dahr, and their being remains constant in relation to God. This existence of material phenomena in dahr forms the basis for what Mir Damad refers to as the "objective decree" (al-qada’ al-‘ayni), another of his unique philosophical contributions. For Mir Damad, material phenomena—though material in the dimension of time—possess a presential, unchanging existence before God in the sphere of dahr. This mode of existence of temporal beings in dahr essentially mirrors the concept of Platonic Forms.
