Ibn Sina's Definition of Material and Immaterial and Its Consequences on His Bodily Resurrection

Among the Muslim philosophers, Ibn Sina had an important view on the material and abstract issue. According to his theory of grace, which believes in the arc of descent and ascent, he believes in the obligatory grace of all beings, both material and abstract. His thought on the type of material and immaterial relationship and the way these two concepts influence each other is such that he has reached the inability to prove the physical resurrection and has left it to the Shari'ah. Based on his talking about cosmology, which divides beings into single and material ones, he comes to the conclusion that physical resurrection is not provable and the words of the Prophet must be trusted. The main question is: what are the consequences of the material and abstract concept in Ibn Sina's philosophy upon his psychology and eschatology. The current study aims to clarify the consequences of these two concepts in Ibn Sina's philosophy by examining the definition, and then he considers physical resurrection as an unprovable proof with these two concepts.
