SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: philosophical rational analysis of Muslim philosophers about death now with reports from revived people or pre-death experiences which especially in the last century has attracted the attention of branches of psychology, has created this issue that What is the relationship between experimental findings and rational explanations in Islamic philosophy? This question was a starting point to investigate the descriptions of the nature and characteristics of near-death experiences according to the rational philosophical viewpoint particularly the Transcendent wisdom. METHOD AND FINDING: The present study was conducted according to the analytical-descriptive methodology, and the data were collected using the library research approach. The findings showed that near-death experiences arise when the bonds of the soul to the body get weakened, and this pushes any material veils aside and guides them to the imaginal world. As the rupture gets more profound, humans sense more in-depth experiences with added features in their lifes. The experiencers become free from the constraints of place and time as the two elements are absent in the imaginal world. The unity that such people sense arises due to achieving higher levels of understanding when their bonds to their bodies get more weakened. Experiencing heaven and hell in such experiences can be attributed to being exposed to the truth of actions. CONCLUSION: Sadr ul-Din Shirazi viewed love as the result of insight and existential unity. Being united with divine beloveds leads to happiness, while unity with sensual beloveds brings about agony in the imaginal world. Simultaneously experiencing love and unity with the light occurs due to the increased existential vastness and the achievement of a more in-depth understanding of love.
