The celestial reincarnation of the soul is the most important image that Mulla Sadra depicts for bodily resurrection; meaning that after the soul separates from the material body, it attaches to a body that has been created by itself in the world and is proportionate to its inner qualities and dispositions, and is resurrected with that body. In the Holy Quran, a group of the Children of Israel is mentioned who, due to disobedience to God's commands, appeared in the form of monkeys; Mulla Sadra considers the metamorphosis of the Children of Israel and the phenomenon of metamorphosis in general as a confirmation of celestial reincarnation. Given Mulla Sadra's multiple principles and preliminaries stated in proving celestial reincarnation, the nature of this confirmation can be reached. This article, by explaining and clarifying the reality of celestial reincarnation and metamorphosis, seeks to explain this confirmation.

Confirmation of the Occurrence of Celestial Transmigration Based on the Phenomenon of Metamorphosis (Maskh) Ruhollah Forughi Received Date: 23/07/95 PhD Student in Islamic Theology, University of Qom | Confirmation Date: 14/10/95 Abstract The celestial transmigration of the soul is the most important depiction that Mulla Sadra draws for bodily resurrection; this means that after the separation of the human soul from the material body, it attaches to a body that has been created by itself in the world and is proportionate to its internal qualities and dispositions, and it is resurrected with that body.
In the Holy Quran, a group of the Children of Israel is mentioned who, due to disobedience to God's commands, appeared in the form of monkeys; Mulla Sadra considers the metamorphosis of the Children of Israel and the phenomenon of metamorphosis in general as a confirmation of celestial transmigration.
In some of his works, he mentions the metamorphosis of some of the Children of Israel as a confirmation of his words, so that in light of this phenomenon, which is also mentioned in the Quran, he may present evidence for his view; because in metamorphosis, the previous human body is removed and a new animal body is placed in its stead.
He considers metamorphosis (maskh) to be a prominent example of celestial transmigration, and regarding the metamorphosis of the Children of Israel, he believes that a body proportionate to the disposition of greed and disobedience to the divine command was created and manifested by wicked souls, such that the sinners were transformed into monkeys.
