Reincarnation, as understood by the Druze, is the transmigration of the soul from one human body to another. This is a false belief that contradicts the Quran and the Sunnah. Allah causes souls to die and seizes them, and every soul shall taste death. However, the death of the soul does not mean its annihilation; rather, it remains in a state of bliss or torment until it returns to its body.
