The Quality of Life after Death from the Perspective of Sadr al-Muta'allehin

According to Sadr al-Muta'allehin, in the arc of ascent, man begins his essential movement from being inanimate, and after some stages, reaches speech and holy life. Being a soul begins when the fetus reaches the initial abstraction and voluntary sensation and movement, and manages the body while being abstracted from material. Using the library-based and descriptive-analytical method, this paper deals with the issue that no matter how much the soul progresses in abstraction, science and practice, it does not abandon managing the body. Hence, even after physical death, it has a purgatory and an otherworldly body; and the quality of the otherworldly life is in proportion to the perceptions, intentions and properties man has acquired in this world. Scientifically, if man remains in the stage of sensory and imaginary perceptions, he will be in the world of apparition; But if he also achieves rational perceptions, he will also enjoy the world of intellect, and in practice, he will have divine, evil, beastly or concupiscent forms.
