        abstract = {Probably the most famous teaching of the School of Frithjof Schuon (1907?1998), the perennial philosopher and spiritual poet, after the Transcendent Unity of Religions (al-wa{\d h}da al-mut{\=a}?aliyya li al-ady{\=a}n) is that of the Five Divine Presence (al-{\d h}a{\d d}ra al-il{\=a}hiyya al-khamsa). Although often discussed, seldom has it been analysed with reference to the original texts. From Sufi cosmology and models theory (monadic, diadic, triadic, tetradic and pentadic) perspectives, this study analysed Schuon?s thoughts on the Five Divine Presence. Employing a qualitative, document-based methodology, the study analysed Schuon?s primary texts. The study advances the concept of the Transcendent Unity of Five Divine Presence, consisting of beyond-being, being, spirit, soul and body. These five structures place spirit (r{\=u}{\d h}{\=a}n{\=i}) as the bridge between God and man. Spirit (r{\=u}{\d h}{\=a}n{\=i}) is the Logos which with its two faces, created and uncreated, the ?bridge? between man and God. Created, observed from the God side and uncreated, observed from the human side. The implication is that Pentadic Integralism can describe and clarify the relationships among the domains of Uncreated Logos?Created Logos, Absolute?Relative, {\=A}tm{\=a}?M{\=a}y{\=a}, Divine?Human, Heaven?Earth, Esoterism ({\d H}aq{\=i}qa)?Exoterism (Shar{\=i}?a), and Immortal?Mortal. The current study also attempts to integrate Perennial Philosophy and Sufism.}
