Siahat-e Gharb (Persian: سیاحت غرب, The Journey to the West) or The Fate of Souls after Death is a book by Aqa Najafi Quchani (1878-1944).
Aqa Najafi Quchani has formed the story based on the hadiths received from the Shiite Imams about the purgatory.
Siahat-e Gharb is written originally in Persian language and some people such as Morteza Motahhari and Seyyed Abdollah Fateminia also consider it as the spiritual journey of Aqa Najafi Quchani.
The prose of Siahat-e Gharb belongs to the early fourteenth century SH and it uses many Arabic and Islamic religious expressions.
[2] The narration of the book Siahat-e Gharb begins with the sentence "And I am dead" and simply puts the audience in a different place.
