In a Nutshell
Some isolated ex-Mutazalite scholars, some philosophers and few Shiite sects.


Historical Scholarship

Few scholars in Islamic history have disputed revival of the body in the grave - this includes:

  • Two individuals of the Mutazalites (Dirar Ibn Amr and Bishr al-Mirisi) but all the Mutazalites accept the concept
  • Philosophers who generally paid no much attention to the grave neither with rejection nor with approval
  • Few Shiite sects that believe in reincarnation
