Resolving the Conflict of Survival Verses and Cutting Ties in the Hereafter

One of the issues related to life after death and resurrection in the Holy Qur'an is the state of bonds and relationships between humans, which verses indicate the severance and destruction of all relationships after death. One of the strong reasons for this is people's fear of the Day of Resurrection and the stages after it, as well as sinful and bad relationships and friendships. In other verses, the joining of people to the family and the survival of friendships can be seen in the afterlife. With a superficial look and not recognizing the correct examples and neglecting the application of the verses, we come across an apparent contradiction. The point that has been taken into consideration in this research is the situation of believers and infidels in different stages of the hereafter and the axis of communication. Considering these two cases, apparently different verses in this context become specific to a specific group. In general, the verses that express the severing of family ties are relationships that are not God-centered, but relationships that are based on faith and piety will last in the hereafter. In this research, according to the axis and causes of bonds, which are either divine or material and explained by the Qur'an itself and traditions, the examples of the verses of cutting off relationships and their survival are well clarified.
