Islam Facts Details
Muslim concept of the soul is similar to the Christian concept
although there has been considerable debate within Islam as to the
soul’s relation with the mind, body and God’s “spirit” or “breath” and
how it survives death and is resurrected. Most Sunni regard the soul as a
material substance that is not visible to the eye but was created along
with the body by God while Sufis and other mystical Muslims regard the
soul as something more abstract and separate from the body.
According to a prevailing view among Muslims, the souls has three
parts and is not unlike Freud’s concept of the id, ego and superego: 1)
an id-like component that is driven by animal urges and is “prone to
evil”; 2) an ego-like component that can distinguish between good and
evil and strives to overcome evil; and 3) a spiritual component that is
totally oriented towards God and enters heaven after death. The
spiritual component is said to be about the size of a bee and shimmers
like mercury when it is removed from the body.
