Abstract
We can find theories on transcendent wisdom of Islam by Mulla Sadra Shirazi. By his theory, called "trans-substantial motion", we try to prove man’s soul creation and evolution. Fulfilling this theory, Mulla Sadra considers some more prominent principles that are characterized by: the principality of existence, the gradation of existence, the unity between intelligent and intelligible, the universe temporal creation, the soul corporeal creation and its incorporeal permanence, the principle of unity in plurality, the principle of ultimate in world system and the corporeal resurrection and etc. These principles together provide theoretical and practical frameworks which draw the path of man’s soul creation, and evolution, and man’s life and ultimate. On the basis of these principles, Mulla Sadra hypothesizes that the origin and resurrection of man’s soul and life is based on the trans-substantial motion. In fact, this opinion can explain corporeal creation of man’s soul and mundane life, and finally his/her motion to the supreme world only in the light of trans-substantial motion and also other principles such as the corporeal resurrection of man. The importance of man's creation and his/her spiritual subsistence and corporeal creation lies in his/her life in this world and his/her complete motion on the basis of his/her acquired abilities in the material world.
