Why do we not believe in reincarnation?

The answer

Reincarnation is the belief that when a person dies, his soul reappears in another body, and when that body dies, his soul reappears in another body, and so on. The question becomes therefore, is this person a complete human being, who will give an account of their deeds? It is impossible, for their soul and body keep changing. We do not believe in this, for we believe that every human being has one soul and one body, and this soul after death proceeds to paradise, and not another body.
