One of the issues related to life after death and resurrection in the Holy Qur'an is the state of bonds and relationships between humans, which verses indicate the severance and destruction of all relationships after death. One of the strong reasons for this is people's fear of the Day of Resurrection and the stages after it, as well as sinful and bad relationships and friendships. In other verses, the joining of people to the family and the survival of friendships can be seen in the afterlife. With a superficial look and not recognizing the correct examples and neglecting the application of the verses, we come across an apparent contradiction. The point that has been taken into consideration in this research is the situation of believers and infidels in different stages of the hereafter and the axis of communication. Considering these two cases, apparently different verses in this context become specific to a specific group. In general, the verses that express the severing of family ties are relationships that are not God-centered, but relationships that are based on faith and piety will last in the hereafter. In this research, according to the axis and causes of bonds, which are either divine or material and explained by the Qur'an itself and traditions, the examples of the verses of cutting off relationships and their survival are well clarified.IntroductionOne of the issues related to life after death and resurrection in the Holy Qur'an is the state of bonds and relationships between humans, which verses indicate the severance and destruction of all relationships after death.

Taking these two things into consideration, seemingly different verses become specific to a specific group in this context.In general, the verses that express the severance of family and lineage are relationships that are not God-centered, but relationships that are based on faith and piety will last in the hereafter.In this research, with the descriptive-analytical method, according to the axis and causes of bonds, which are either divine or material, and explained by the Qur'an itself and traditions, the examples of the verses of cutting off relationships and their survival are well clarified.Research Question(s):The main question is whether worldly communication will be completely cut off in the hereafter or not?Literature ReviewNo background was found in this field.MethodologyThis research used the descriptive-analytical method, according to the axis and causes of bonds, which are either divine or material, and explained by the Qur'an itself and traditions.ResultsAmong human beings, there are relationships and bonds such as kinship and friendship as required by life in the world. The relationships that exist between people in the world are either physical or spiritual and many different relationships between people have been explained in the Qur'an. And he has expressed the importance of some. According to some verses of the Holy Quran, relative ties and friendships are severed in the afterlife and the relationships that exist between people in the world are cut and ineffective. And even based on other verses, relationships will be stretched to the point of enmity in the Day of Judgment. However, other verses in the Qur'an express the survival of relationships between individuals and the joining of believers to their families and close parents of God. According to the findings of this research, the severance and survival of worldly ties in the afterlife depends on the axis of relationships, only the lineage and the reason that existed in the world due to the necessity of worldly conditions is meaningless in the afterlife. In general, if it is due to material love and affection, it is because materiality is perishable, that love will disappear. If the cause of connection, whether spiritual or kinship, is sin and divine transgression, not only does it disappear, but it also turns into an enemy. All relationships that are based on faith and piety and formed for the sake of God and in His way, because it is not material, will not disappear, and maybe they will be stronger and more complete than before. These are the bonds that will join each other in the hereafter and are worthy of intercession by God's permission.ConclusionIn general, the verses that express the severance of family and lineage are relationships that are not God-centered, but relationships that are based on faith and piety will last in the hereafter.In this research, with the descriptive-analytical method, according to the axis and causes of bonds, which are either divine or material, and explained by the Qur'an itself and traditions, the examples of the verses of cutting off relationships and their survival are well clarified.

Regression and reincarnation are amongst the common terminologies in the literature of Islamic exegetes, prolocutors and philosophers. It is primarily necessary to expurgate the two subjects to find out the fundamental differences between them. Secondly, it is necessary to find out which concept is accepted by notable Islamic scholars and which is rejected by the key figures of hermeneutics, discourse and philosophy. The present paper aims to investigate the two notions and present the views of the scholars of this field. In general, regression is accepted by hermeneutics scholars as it is a Quranic fact, and the regression of certain people during Imam Mahdi’s (pbuh) Coming is, under special circumstances, confirmed by Shiite scholars. Reincarnation, however, in all of its forms, is rejected by Peripatetic philosophers and those following Mulla Sadra’s philosophy, even though some Orientalist philosophers have accepted certain forms of reincarnation.

In the Holy Qur’an differing names are used to refer to the resurrection with “Resurrection” being the most frequently used one. In dictionaries all these names are usually defined to mean resurrection and this implies their being synonymous. Moreover, sometimes due to people's deeply-seated mental beliefs, the exact meanings of these names are not well understood. The present paper, relying on Arabic language and culture and the style of Quranic verses as well as the subject analysis of these words, enumerates twelve other names for this day and analyzes them content-wise. The researcher found out that each of these names amazingly refers to one of the characteristics of resurrection and each has been used for a particular purpose including warning, preventing the readers from polytheism, disbelief and sin as well as creation of certainty in people who raise doubts about whether resurrection takes place or not.
