Abstract: Raj`at, return, is a special religious belief of the Shia Imamiyyah. In this return, the great divine authorities, such as the Prophet of Islam, Amir al-Mu'minin and Sayyid al-Shohada, are present. The verses of the Qur'an and the noble traditions supporting the theory are discussed in this article, and the views of Muslim scholars have been taken as document and studied critically. The principle of raj`at has been accepted by most Shia scholars but there are disagreements in its details; and, as described in the paper, some interpretations have been put forward in order to abandon its common meaning. The common hypothesis refers to the return of some deads of Salih and Talih, it failes to be accepted and the theory claiming the return of Imams state during the rule of the last Imam is incompatible with the appearance and contents of the mass narratives. The findings of this study supported the original theory of return as being mysterious without justifying proofs.
Keywords: Return, Return of the Dead, Shia Scholars, Resurrection, Hashar, Zuhur.
