Perfection and Volition in Barzakh

One of the stages of the human life is the material, worldly one. In this stage humans undergo essential changes on the basis of the substantial motion (=arikat jawhari) andgradually change to become actualized. According to religious doctrines, humans move to the world of barzakh after death, and enjoy an intermediate-state life between their death and the general resurrection. Religious doctrines show that the human perfection does not stop by their death, and they will continue to change even in the world of barzakh. This doctrine can be accounted for in terms of the substantial motion and the principle of the renewal of the similar (tajadud amthal).
