Purgatorial perfection is one of the important discussions about human destiny as the soul, after separating from the body dwells in the isthmus realm called Barzakh (purgatory). Heavenly revelations or messages from prophets, especially Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) are the inspirational sources on the said topic that human intellect is incapable to conceive. This issue is certainly the matter of heavenly or Islamic affairs whose evolution cannot be archived unless we prove it through movement and change. Hence, the change and movement of the soul, after divorcing from the body, is proved, both for human and for the rest (in that realm) which are regarded as among abstract incorporeal beings. Islamic philosophers tried to intellectually deal with this topic of research commensurate with their own philosophical and theosophical fundamentals. Yet, the peripatetic concepts being limited, they did not present any considerable or significant results until Mulla Sadra, who rather preparing an appropriate framework for research and investigation in this field, leaves it open for his successors. The issue of the purgatorial perfection is important enough that unlike the peripatetic philosophy to which nothing can be added or subtracted, Mulla Sadra’s philosophy is flexible. Thus, this research aims to shed light on some aspects of human integration in the purgatorial realm and bring important pieces of evidence to it.
