This means that whoever is polluted with sins and vices could potentially return in any of the four realms.

The Almighty said: {And you had already known about those who transgressed among you concerning the Sabbath, and We said to them, "Be apes, despised" } 1 . May Allah grant you success and protect you.

THE SIXTH CHAPTER

"REINCARNATION AMONG THE HERMETICISTS"

Hermeticism means the secret or closed way. The word is derived from Hermes, whom the Egyptians worshipped as Thoth, and who was known to the Muslims as the Prophet Idris. In the Dictionary of Philosophers compiled by Al-Tarabishi, Hermes is described as "Hermes Trismegistus" (the Thrice-Great), the author of the Hermetic books.

Muslim Arabs took a vast interest in Hermeticism; among the scholars of Kalam (theology), there were those who adopted Hermetic views, and through them, Hermeticism reached the West and influenced some of its thinkers.
