Abstract
The quality of bodily resurrection has been a complicated problem throughout the history of religious, theological and philosophical thoughts. Theorists have been trying to strengthen the grounds to overcome the problem. Transcendent Philosophy explains these grounds and principles to solve the problem. One of the most important of these tenets is the knowledge of the soul and its principles. Through the theory of ‘bodily origination and spiritual survival of the soul’, Transcendent sages have been paved the way. But in this theory the relation between material body and immaterial soul in bodily resurrection seems problematic also. Hakīm Modasses, with his special method, tried to explain this relation and stated his principle in bodily resurrection problem. His theory is based upon ‘dynamic body toward static soul’. In spite of depending on the principles of transcendent philosophy, it leads to logically different conclusion. This variation is innovative but it would be finally evaluated as a turning to theological conclusions which is could not be regarded as a little difference. In the realm of soul-body relationship as the most prominent principle to the bodily resurrection, the explanation of Hakīm `Āqa `Ali Modarres clarifies some essential difficulties and pave the way to more precise consideration on this basic religious belief. This prevents the superficialist attitudes toward religious belief and thought
