A necessary condition for accepting any intellectual system is coherence and consistency in its epistemological doctrines. One of the issues addressed by Abū al-ʿAlāʾ al-Maʿarrī, the Arab poet-thinker, is the relationship between body and soul and the fate of the soul after bodily death. His initial stance, in line with his rationalist tendencies, reflects a skeptical and pessimistic outlook toward the idea of the soul’s survival after death. However, in his later perspective, he approaches the issue with a religious orientation, ultimately affirming belief in the afterlife and submitting to divine decrees. From a religious and faith-based perspective — motivated by fear of God, remorse for sin, and existential anguish at the moment of death — he ultimately retracts his earlier skepticism. This paper seeks to elucidate the role of emotions and sentiments in shaping beliefs.
