Return

Resurrection (or Anastasis), is the concept of coming back to life after death. In a number of religions, a dying-and-rising person is a Deity, which dies and is resurrected in the same body.

Reincarnation, is a similar process hypothesized by other religions, involving a person or Deity coming back in another body.

The words eventually became used more generally in the senses of, "rebirth"; "resurgence", or "revival".

Resurrection, is the reuniting of the spirit with the same life and body in an immortal state.

Muslims believe that the dead will remain in their graves until the ‘Day of Resurrection’’ or Day of Judgement’.

Christian in this context refer to the rising of Christ from the dead. While, Jewish contexts have different beliefs on life after death, such as:

• Orthodox Jews, believe that there will be a physical resurrection of the body. Therefore, many procedures that they consider to cause damage or destruction of the body after death are forbidden. Orthodox Jews will bury their dead rather than cremate them for this reason.
• Reform Jews, believe that the resurrection will be a spiritual one. Therefore, the body will not be needed as it is simply a vessel of the soul.

"In the Bible, Baal (meaning "Lord" or "Master") is a name given to several different Deities designated as false Gods or Idols worshiped by pagans. His resurrection is reminiscent of a virgin birth or in this story, "Anath" (Anat), a maiden/warrior Goddess, sister or consort of the fertility and storm God Baal, fights for His soul and pleads to the Canaanite Sun Goddess “Shapash" to raise Him back to the land of the living. In doing so, Baal is rebirthed and saves mankind, resuming His Lordship over the world."

Anastasis, an essential component of life, is a natural cell recovery phenomenon that rescues cells from the brink of death. Programmed cell death such as apoptosis, has been traditionally assumed to be an intrinsically irreversible cascade that commits cells to a rapid and massive demolition.

Reincarnation, is the rebirth of a soul into a new life, and body.

Reincarnation (also known as transmigration), is the religious or philosophical belief that the soul or spirit, after biological death, begins a new life in a new body that may be human, animal or spiritual depending on the moral quality of the previous life's actions.

Reincarnation (Punarjanma) is a central tenet of the Indian religions such as Hinduism; Buddhism; Jainism, and Sikhism; although there are Hindu and Buddhist groups who do not believe in reincarnation, instead believing in an afterlife.

Despite of the foregoing, the majority of denominations within Abrahamic religions do not traditionally believe that individuals reincarnate, in-spite of particular groups who do refer to reincarnation; these groups include the mainstream historical and contemporary followers of Cathars; Alawites; Hassidics; the Druze; Kabbalistics, and the Rosicrucians.

Considering this, Islam rejects the concept of reincarnation, though it preaches the existence of souls. The principle belief in Islam being that there is only one birth on this Earth…
