Survey of Mulla Sadra's Metaphysical Principles on Disapproving Terrestrial Reincarnation

Reincarnation is regarded as contradiction to resurrection in Islamic philosophy which interpreted in the various forms. Mulla Sadra on the basis of his own ontology and anthropology primarily has conceptualized the reincarnation and finally eventuate to classify that to a true and wrong reincarnation. The wrong one is terrestrial and the true is celestial. By his ontological approach, Mulla Sadra denied terrestrial reincarnation approving the divine one. The main question at this paper is: how has Mulla Sadra avoided approving the terrestrial reincarnation? As a result, he depending on ontological elements such as principality and gradational unity of being, anthropological theories like corporeal origination of the soul and its spiritual duration, has refused the reincarnation.
