خلاصة:
Based on the philosophical rules of al-Hikmat al-Muta'aliyah (Transcendental Theosophy), especially regarding substantial motion and psychology, returning to worldly life after death is considered unlikely. Therefore, refuting reincarnation within the conceptual network of Sadra will be easy, especially when considering the rule of impossibility of regression. However, when referring to Islamic religious texts, we see a kind of return to worldly life that is different from reincarnation and is believed by most Muslims, especially Shiites, such as the resurrection of the dead and the return of a group of human souls at the end of time, which is a belief of the Shiites. At first glance, explaining this belief based on Sadra's foundations and distinguishing it from reincarnation in a way that the arguments against reincarnation do not include this belief seems very difficult. However, some Sadra scholars, such as Allameh Tabatabaei, have addressed this issue and, as a Sadra philosopher, while preserving the philosophical foundations of al-Hikmat al-Muta'aliyah, try to explain this belief by distinguishing between natural death and accidental death and remove the objections raised against it.

Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy and Islamic Theology, Imam Sadiq University (Date of Receipt: 2012/05/12; Date of Approval: 2012/09/20) Abstract Based on the philosophical rules of the Transcendent Theosophy, regarding essential motion and pneumatology, returning to worldly life after death is considered improbable; therefore, rejecting reincarnation within the network of Sadrian concepts would be easy, especially when considering the rule of impossibility of regression.
Therefore, Raj'ah, in a philosophical sense, means "the return of the soul to the worldly body in the realm of this world" without being bound to a specific time or place.
1 Based on this, any conclusion we reach in the rational analysis of "the return of the soul to the worldly body in the realm of this world" will also be valid and applicable to the specific Raj'ah of the end times.
Therefore, our issue in this article is to examine the possibility, impossibility, or necessity of "the return of the soul to the worldly body in the realm of this world" within the network of Mulla Sadra's teachings.
Based on the above discussion, we have realized that according to the foundations of the Transcendent Theosophy, reincarnation, which is a type of return of the soul to the worldly body in this world, has no place and is refuted.
Based on what has been said, in the view of Allamah Tabataba'i, the return of the soul to the body in the worldly realm for those who have departed from the world with a respectful death is possible and does not entail the problem of returning from actuality to potentiality.
