Sadr al-Din Shirazi's Illuminating Explanation of Death in al-Shawahed al-Robubiyyah

Explaining Sadra's principles based on psychology and using descriptive analytical method, we propose an illuminating explanation of death and try to deal with the fact that the soul has "light" essence in the higher world and "fiery" essence in the lower world, and that the origin of material and physical forces for everything is in the Hereafter. By generalizing the meaning of death, Sadr al-Din Shirazi introduces a new concept, which is the annihilation of the inferior being in the higher being. He expresses the flow of death in the whole body of the universe, and finally concludes that the universe inwardly has a constant variety of decay and actuality, and that the truth of death is the separation of the attributes, not the essence. In addition, he believes that the basic rule in the emergence of death is the destruction of the apparent structure of the world, according to which, the fiery existence of the soul is extinguished by Azraeli blowing and the soul enters the holy world.
