In terms of death, not- life is where the chance of life exists, and refers to the separation of the soul from the body. There are different understandings of the term death, often are explained with legends and tries to pass away the unfounded fear of death; but because they could not properly explain, have been unsuccessful in establishing peace. What Islamic mystics calls death is not macabre typical death that erodes tranquility of life and brings anxiety and stress with it. Their achievement is through the assistance of Quraninc insight and intuition of heart. In fact, with all the awesomeness that is death has for the face goers, for mystics it removes all barriers and he returns to the world of insiders through death. From Ibn Arabi’s point of view, because its existence is intrinsic human soul, death, it makes no sense. Because his own body accidental and to be alive is of works of life of the spirit and death about it is realized. The manifestation of the Spirit is life for body and soul from the body absence means death and cause of death. In Mulla Sadra’s opinion, human beings according to their nature and gradually realize the hereafter referred to its intended purpose.
