E. M. Harndi Yazır's Thoughts on Immortality
Abstract
E. M. Yazır is the leading thinker of the recent epoch. He argues
that the nature of the soul cannot be known completely, but it has
three faculties which are movement, life and understanding. According
to Harndi Yazır, the understanding is the sole quality of
human spirit. He claims that the soul itself is not an eternal substance
per se, however it can be eternal thanks to the God. He argues
that anticipation of justice in people and initial creation are
the most important evidences of the possibility of life after death.
