The most prominent challenge in this scholarly work was how to logically prove and establish this doctrinal, unseen matter to the deniers and to the material mind, and to place it within the realm of possibility. How to demonstrate the existence of that unseen world, and that there is another life after the soul departs from the body? Hence, the importance of this book, which is primarily directed to those who doubt or deny the possibility of the afterlife after death. They deny immortality and eternal continuation of the living and things. Accordingly, this book contains a set of rational proofs that demonstrate the possibility of resurrection, immortality, and the dominant world that does not conform to our sensory perceptions. These proofs, along with some modern scientific evidence, not only establish the validity of the possibility of resurrection and immortality but also refute the doubts of the deniers and dismantle their arguments. This rational, philosophically oriented study focused on the aspect of possibility—meaning that the goal of this book is to prove that resurrection and immortality are possible logically, and that there are no rational obstacles to this possibility, without delving into details, images, or hows. We considered this point as a common denominator among theologians, philosophers, and hadith scholars, viewing all writings in this regard as one text. The belief in the existence of resurrection, immortality, and the afterlife is unanimously agreed upon by all those we mentioned earlier. The disagreement lies in the details. Based on this, the proof of the possibility of life after death and the existence of eternal permanence is the ultimate goal of this book. It is known that the possible refers to what is not necessarily ruled out by necessity in both existence and non-existence. At this point, the role of reason stops, and the matter of preference and establishing the occurrence of the possible remains contingent upon divine revelation.
