Correct Answer:
D. Ibn Arabi
The Sufi philosophy of Wahdat-ul-Wujud, meaning "Unity of Being" or "Oneness of Existence," posits that there is no true existence apart from God. The most prominent and influential proponent of this profound metaphysical concept was the Andalusian Muslim scholar and mystic, Ibn Arabi (1165β1240). His extensive writings deeply explored the idea that all creation is a manifestation of the divine essence.

- Option C, "Shah Wali Ullah," was an 18th-century Indian Islamic scholar who attempted to reconcile Wahdat-ul-Wujud with Wahdat-ush-Shuhud, but he was not its original proponent.
