Abstract

Resurrection was paid attention by the philosophers since the ancient times. They hoped to identify the physical resurrection many years ago until now. Avicenna recognized this matter only by religious law and he believed that reason cannot identify it. Whereas he recognized the spiritual resurrection. He believed that spiritual resurrection is identified by reason. In this article Avicenna’s point of view on the resurrection according to his different works is presented and his denial of physical resurrection is stated. We demonstrate with his acceptance these principles he cannot identify philosophically this matter and he accepts the physical resurrection for mere obedience. Finally, the Avicenna’s principles spiritual resurrection are studied i.e. what forced him to accept the existence of happiness and adversity for the essence without belonging it to the body.
