He developed a version of illuminationism ([[Arabic language|Arabic]]: حكمة الإشراق ''ḥikmat al-ishrāq'', [[Persian language|Persian]] حكمت اشراق ''hikmat-i ishrāq''). The Persian and Islamic school draws on [[Avicennism]] ([[Avicenna|Ibn Sina]]’s [[early Islamic philosophy]]), [[Neoplatonism|Neoplatonic]] thought (modified by Ibn Sina), ancient [[Iranian philosophy|Iranian philosophical]] disciplines, and the original ideas of Suhrawardi.

Suhrawardi's metaphysics is based on two principles. The first is a form of the [[principle of sufficient reason]]. The second principle is Aristotle's principle that an [[actual infinity]] is impossible.<ref>''Philosophy of Illumination'' 87.1–89.8</ref>
