Abstract

In the history of philosophy, Philosophers have produced opinions on various subjects. The history of philosophy have conveyed these opinions to us throughout the ages. Therefore, solutions produced on the common problems of humanity have been shared by all humanity. All the philosophers from the first age up to now have given opinions on the subject of soul and body. Thinkers have seen that soul is the essence giving vitality to body and have wondered the state of the soul during and after death. In İslamic Philosophy this issue have been examined in depth and opinions have been introduced. These evaluations have been transferred to us without losing any of its importance. This also show that his works to understand the man himself are still important. The saperation of soul from body isn’t in substance, but it is a difference of stage and degrees. In this study we have tried to show the views of Islamic philosophers on the relationship between soul and body. Thus, we think that Suhrawardi al-Maktul’s, one of the important Islamic philosophers, opinons on soul and body can be understood better. According to Suhrawardi al- Maktul, soul, as a luminous element, leaves body after death and passes to the eternal realm.
