The philosophical explanation of the transformations of the human soul after death and its evolution in Barzakh (purgatorial realm) and the Hereafter is among the key issues in philosophical anthropology and eschatology. This article analyses and evaluates the claim that Mullā Ṣadrā regarded death and the soul’s liberation from the natural world as the end of substantial motion and intrinsic human transformation, thereby denying any motion or perfection in higher stages, including Barzakh. Using the descriptive-analytical method and relying on library resources, this study comprehensively examines the validity of attributing the "denial of Barzakhī evolution and rejection of substantial motion of the soul after liberation from the body" to Mullā Ṣadrā. The findings reveal that there is no explicit denial of Barzakhī evolution in any of Mullā Ṣadrā’s statements. In fact, in his final theory, he unequivocally affirms the soul’s perfection and motion in Barzakh and the Hereafter.
