Abstract:
The concept of the soul has been a topic of philosophical and religious discourse for thousands of years. In ancient civilizations, such as the Greeks and Egyptians, the soul was often viewed as a immortal and immortal aspect of a person that continued to exist after death. In modern Western philosophy, the concept of the soul has been debated, with some rejecting it as unscientific and others seeing it as a metaphorical way of speaking about the inner essence of a person. In Islam, the soul is seen as a spiritual entity breathed into every person by God and that continues to exist after death, with its ultimate fate determined by a person’s actions and deeds during life. The soul is also viewed as the source of a person’s motivations and desires and spiritual purification of the soul is seen as crucial for ultimate happiness and fulfillment.
