The Destiny of the Soul from the Perspective of Sohrevardi

I will investigate the general perspective of Sohrevardi about the destiny and fate of soul in this article. Thus first the survival of soul after the death of body is discussed and the four reasons of Sheikh Ishraq to prove this survival are elaborated. Then his opinion regarding the soul's felicity and misery and the reality of the other world's punishment and reward will be discussed. Then his transcendental view about the states of human's soul and their degrees after death are explained and at the end, reincarnation is briefly explained from his pint of view. Then I will conclude that he did not believe reincarnation – based on his peripateticist approach - from the beginning but he doubts in his theory at the end of his life. Thus he doubtfully talks about the falseness of incarnation in his last book 'Hikmah Al-Ishraq'.
