abstract note	The Shaykhis believed, that between the physical world and the spiritual world, there exists an intermediary world called Hurqalya (from the Greek word Huvarkalya) or the world of archetypal images (Alame' Mithal). From the Shaikhi's point of view, the first corporal form will annihilate completely after death and there will have no there return in the Intermediately World and the Resurrection Day, while the corps astral body will remain rotundas, away from any annihilation and destruction. The first body of man will accompany the soul only to the end of the Intermediately World, and while the first Israfil's Blowing of trumpet is heard it will be annihilated too. But the second body as the soul carrier will always accompany the soul and it will never be separated from it, except the time of the Blowing after the second Blowing of the Trumpet in the Resurrection Day, the soul will join the second corps along with the second body, and therefore the spiritual and the corporal resurrection of Sheikhiet will occur. In this paper, the critical viewpoint toward Shaykhiyya is discussed concerning the coincidence of Hurqalya and the Imaginal World. The imaginal world in the spiritual topography of a domain that can only be seen by those who have turned away from the sensus communis and rely on spiritual hermeneutics (ta’wil), a profound issue which he discusses both in the al - Talwihat and Alwah- i imadi. Seeing the archetypes requires transcending all obstacles in order to go beyond what Suhrawardi symbolically refers to as the Qaf Mountain. Finally, the Sheikhis' view of resurrection has been reviewed and analyzed from the point of view of exalted theosophy. (Author)'s abstract). The author states at the end "that there is definitely no mention of Hurqalya in the either Quran or its exegesis by the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and the Holy Imams (as). These were obviously a figment of the imagination of Shaykh Ahmed Ahsai." There is an indication that the author intends to write more on the Bábís in a similar vein.
