In a literal sense, the term “Raj’at” is from the Arabic root “r-j-‘a” , which means ‘to return’.

In a technical sense, the term “Raj’a” is used in Islamic discourse to represent the belief that at the time of Imam al-Mahdi’s reappearance, God will bring back to life a number of the deceased to the world with their worldly body. Thereby creating an opportunity for the believers to reach their ultimate perfection.

In other words, after the reappearance of the twelve Imam, Imam Mahdi (a.f.s.) and on the threshold of Resurrection, a group of sincere believers and a group of immensely wicked disbelievers and rebellious individuals shall return to this world. The first group shall subsequently advance several ranks towards perfection while the second group would taste severe chastisement. Contents Is Raj’at Possible?

Instances of Raj’at in the Qur’an One: Two: Three: Four: Five: References: According to the explanation of one of the distinguished Shia scholars, late Sayyid Murtadha, he said as follows: “After the reappearance of Hadhrat Mahdi (a.f.s), the Exalted Allah shall cause group of those, who had previously departed from the world, to return to this world so that they may be partners in the reward and glory of assisting him and in witnessing Allah’s rule over the entire world; He shall also cause the most obstinate enemies to return in order to extract revenge from them.

…No intellectual person can ever claim that Allah (s.w.t.) does not possess the power to cause this occurrence to happen and, since this cannot be considered to be impossible, it is itself a proof of the truthfulness of this issue.

Nonetheless, our opponents reject this so vehemently as if they regard it to be an inconceivable event.” He then further adds: “ The consensus of the Twelve-Imam Shi’ites proves this belief, for there is none, from amongst them, who oppose it [1] .” However, from the statements of some of the Shia scholars, including the late Tabrisi in his distinguished Tafsir, Majma’ al-Bayan , it is mentioned that a group of Shia minority had a contrary interpretation of the concept of Raj’at.
