Abstract: (3995 Views)
The subject of this article is the relationship between the soul and the body and its problem is the conflict between the philosophical doctrine of "the physical occurrence of the soul (Nafs)" and the Quranic doctrine of "blowing the spirit (Rooḥ) in the body". Solving this conflict is our goal and its method is first to describe both doctrines in their context and then to analyze the conflict and resolve it based on the principles of transcendent wisdom. Blowing the spirit in the body means degrading and connecting the spirit to the body to plan and control it. The physical occurrence of a partial soul for a body means the occurrence of a rational and general tactical attention of the soul to this imaginal or corporeal body. It seems that the spirit is the intellectual level of the soul and the blowing of the spirit is the physical occurrence of the soul. Therefore, the spirit or the rational soul is not a creature with an occurrence, but something with its occurrence as belonging to a body. Blowing the spirit into the body or the physical occurrence of the soul means its control relationship with the body, not it means being at the level of the corporeal body.
