Abstract

Most of the theologians and Muslim philosophers, at least In accordance with tradition and narrative, believe in bodily resurrection as a necessary faith; but they have different conceptualizations of the “body of resurrection” such as: elemental body, heavenly body, intermediary body and imaginary body.
The presentation of these conceptualizations will help us to find guidelines for more accurate judgments of bodily resurrection; especially in ascribing the issue of rational repudiation of bodily resurrection to Ibn-Sina, and understanding theologians view about homogenization of body of resurrection with worldly body.
