The existence of the immaterial world and its beings is supported by the Greek, Islamic, and Indian philosophers but there are some scholars who rejected it such as, Ibn Sina, Mohagheghe Damad, Molla Abdolrazaghe Lahiji, and Mir Fendereski. Some others have emphasized on the existence of that world as, Sheikh Eshragh, Mollasadra, Sabzevari. They have believed that there is an immaterial world between the spiritual and the physical world which its beings have form and quantity but no material. The creatures of the spiritual world are incorporeal and without any quantity and material. The beings of the physical world are corporeal with both quantity and material. The spiritual world is the most perfect and the immaterial world is in a subordinate position. The existence of the immaterial world is important in ontology, epistemology, and theology. There are lots of reasons to prove its existence such as the rule of possibe Eshraf.

The purpose of this study is, firstly to present the definitions of prosperity from the viewpoints of three Greek and some Moslem scholars whose ethical approaches are philosophical and, secondly to show the main aspects of Moslem intellectuals' definitions are influenced by the ancient Greek philosophy. Then we will discuss about the question of whether this meaning corresponds to the principles and aims of the Islamic ethics. This research mainly reveals that there is no contradiction about them. However, There is no consideration of theism and resurrection in the Greek ethics so it lacks the efficiency for ethical change and stimulation.

Wisdom and faith are undoubtedly the most important religious subjects which have always been taken into consideration. There are different opinions about the relationship between these two concepts among Moslem and Christian scholars. The purpose of this study is the interpretation and explanation of wisdom and faith, the presentation of general approaches towards them, and the investigation of Mollasadra's point of view as the famous Moslem intellectual and Pope John Pole's as the official opinion in Catholic Christianity. It concludes that Islam is a rational religion and there is no expression against wisdom. The acceptance of the religion's principles is possible through reasoning while there may exist some issues above it and the religion's instructions should not oppose rationality. In contrast Christianity lacks reasoning in its principles and teaching so it has to seek mystery and accept the faith without wisdom.

Pantheism is the same as monotheism. Except God everything is His creation which proves His unity and existence and according to faithful believers any beliefs about polytheism are rejected and the truth is God Unity. Pantheism is the extreme point of mysticism and the interpretation of the deceased Allameh Rafiei Ghazvini mostly refers to witness unity. This article discusses about pantheism in three sections of its clarification, verification, and presentation from Allameh Rafiei Ghazvini's point of view.

Reform movement has frequently happened in political schools of thought and religion. The obvious example is the separation of the Communist China and Communism. There are also some similar cases in Islam and other religions. We can see two different aspects of reform movement through the early Islam's history and the life of Prophet Mohammad: once a person or a group of people rejected the Islamic culture and committed something wrong, and in some other cases the emergence of some important apostasy movements led to rebellion and social chaos. The examples are: false prophets as Asvad Anasi and Mosaylame Kazab, and the apostates avoidance to pay Zakat to the first Khalife. The question about the holy Koran and Prophet Mohammad's judgments on apostasy and the sedition of the oppositions can be discussed through history, theology, and sociology. This article provides comprehensive answers to this question.
