Reincarnation Beliefs in Syria's Druze Community

Nawaf Nasr, a 78-year-old member of Syria's Druze community, believes he was reincarnated after dying in the 1940s. The Druze religion sees reincarnation as a path to spiritual purification, with members immediately reborn as newborns after sudden death. Nasr recalls details from his previous life, supported by his family, and shares knowledge from his past. Research on children reporting memories of past lives is explored, with specific details matching the lives of deceased individuals. The belief in reincarnation has led to the persecution of Druze by Islamic militants. Stories of other Druze who believe they are reincarnated are shared, including a woman who recognized her past house and tragic end in her previous life.
