Reincarnation is a way of rejecting the monotheistic and legal islam !

The concept of "reincarnation" is not exclusive of a specific culture and for me, this concept seems to offer one explanation of human destiny and it is a solution to solve islamic problem.

Reincarnation is a way of rejecting the monotheistic islam preaching to Muslims the final judgment by a holy God (Allah) with the possible result of being eternally condemned in hell or eternally rewarded in heaven ! This is major reason for accepting reincarnation.

But another reason for accepting reincarnation is that it seems to explain the differences : some are rich, some have success without being religious. Others are CONSTANT LOSERS, DESPITE THEIR RELIGIOUS DEVOTION;

Reincarnation seems to be a perfect way of punishing or rewarding - WITHOUT THE NEED OF ACCEPTING A GOD.
