Abstract
According to Zynoozi resurrection is no doubt physical. Physical resurrection does not however depend on imaginary body nor does it depend on the return of soul to its physical body. Zynoozi presumes that the stages of existence are connected with each other when they descend and that the realities of existents return to a superior realm when they ascend. He also believes that soul and body are in a state of unificatory union. Based on these principles he says that after its relation is cut off with its respective soul, body continues moving until it reaches the stage where it is able to receive a soul suiting the next world. When man was first created it was again his body that reached the stage of receiving an immaterial soul after undergoing some substantial movement. According to him, man does not lose his material dimension in the coming world. The coming world is instead a stage of being that includes all other existential stages. The soul that is the outcome of substantial movement reaches a stage of perfection where it is able to retrieve the details of its past. The next world is the place of junction and disjunction, brevity and details. Having undergone certain changes, man's material dimension will be present in the next world.
