Accepting reincarnation leads to belief in the four states: Maskh (transformation into animals), Raskh (into plants), Faskh (into minerals/inanimates), and Waskh (into other human forms). This implies that everything around us was once a human being across many lives. This proposition faces several issues, namely that it makes "humanity" the eternal origin of all existing things—animals, plants, and minerals. This belief is refuted by the laws of science and the universals of religious truths, as man is considered the "last" of the creations (the crown of existence) rather than the ancestor of inanimate matter. Science and religion both negate this quadruple transformative theory.

How can the mind accept that a woman who was one’s mother, sister, or a close relative (Mahram) in this generation could become one’s wife in the next?

Using these questions, opponents of reincarnation have attempted to dismantle the philosophy of embodiment and "garments." They have even utilized satire to mock it—such as the joke about a man striking another and telling him, "Repay me in the next generation," or someone stealing money or committing adultery and claiming it will be settled in a future life. In this way, they have scoffed at and diminished the importance of this philosophy. These are their objections, and we shall subsequently mention the rebuttals provided by the reincarnationists.
