Along with the two principles of “manifestation of the essence of transcendence in man” and “dissolution of property in man”, “Donadon” is one of the doctrinal principles of Yarsan that has a direct impact on the beliefs of this religion and is emphasized in all the words and sacred texts of this religion. Has been. Due to the fact that Yarsan is composed of different families and currents, the leaders of this religion offer different readings from Donadon and each of them relies on Quranic, rational arguments and theological documents of theologians and readers to prove their interpretation. In this dissertation, using library resources and field research in real and virtual space, in a descriptive, analytical method in a comprehensive study with an extra-ritual approach based on the common interpretation of Yarsan, different readings and arguments of Yarsan on Donadon have been analyzed. Then, considering that Yarsan is attributed to Islam and Shiism, Donadon’s influence on beliefs; Monotheism, prophecy, resurrection, Imamate and justice have been studied. The results of this treatise are: A: Since the nature of Donadon, according to the readings of traditional families, the flow of the school and the flow of Yarsanism, is the circulation of the soul in different bodies, it is common in nature with reincarnation, but since the circulation of the soul in Yarsan belief. It is limited to fifty thousand years and is limited to 1001 bodies. Among the types of reincarnation, it will be considered as a limited type of reincarnation. B: First: Donadun, along with the idea of ​​the manifestation of the essence of the transcendent, has presented a vague image of Yarsan monotheism and has imagined “Don Dori” and “Don Yai” for the transcendent in Yarsan’s thought. Second: Prophecy and Imamate in Yarsan have been influenced by Donadun The elders of Yarsan are considered to be among the prophets, saints and imams. Human actions in this world and in many lives are conceivable compared to the actions and behaviors of the previous life. Fourth: In Yarsan’s thought, divine justice and donadon are related to each other, and if donadon and multiple lives are not accepted, the Supreme Being cannot be considered just because a single life can not be a justification for the misfortunes of human life
