The relationship between this world and the Hereafter is one of the key issues in Islamic teachings and philosophical anthropology. Some Islamic scholars use hadith-based and philosophical arguments to support this relationship and they believe that the correlative relationship implies the current existence of the Hereafter. This paper employs a descriptive-analytic method to examine the validity of these arguments and to critique the objections raised against the “correlative relationship.” It seems that the correlative relationship between the two worlds and its implication (current existence of the hereafter) is compatible and consistent with the philosophical rules and Islamic teachings. Paying attention to this correlative relationship and its implication plays an important role in attaining an honorable life. This article shows some of the important outcomes of this attention, such as accelerating the process of controlling and directing human behaviors, prioritizing spiritual actions over bodily actions, eliminating negligence, and so on.
