Some Muslim scholars say man consists of two parts, body and soul. That is, the soul is the spirit. Others believe that the human being consist of three parts, body, soul and spirit. The soul is the part associated with God that leaves the body after death. Spirit is the part associated with the body and leaves him when he sleeps and then returns to him.
The Quran divided spirit into 3 degrees: 1st the tranquil spirit, which is the highest degree that the human reaches. This requires a lot of sincere work with oneself and with others, and sincerity with God while avoiding all sins. The 2nd spirit is a sign of evil that leads its owner to lie and commit sins. The 3rd the moderate spirit, it is an intermediate degree between the two, that sins, but admits guilt, and hurries to repent and turn away from the sins.
The Quran say: This Day (of Resurrection) shall every spirit (person) be recompensed for what he earned. No injustice (shall be done to anybody). Truly, God is Swift in reckoning.
The meaning of the word " spirit " in the Bible
The Hebrew word 'nephesh', and the Greek word 'psyche', were translated into “spirit.” Spirit in the Bible verses refer mainly to (1) the person, (2) Animals, or (3) human life or animal life.
In Arabic translation: "Jehovah said to Moses: “All the people who were seeking your spirit died.” But in most English translations the verse was: " Now the LORD had said to Moses in Midian, "Go back to Egypt, for all those who wanted to kill you are dead." Or "… all the men who were seeking your life are dead.”
The Soul
The Soul is created by command of God, and it leaves the body, at the moment of death.
On the Day of Resurrection, the soul will return to the body. The Quran said: And the Trumpet shall be blown78 and all who are in the heavens and the earth shall fall down dead save those whom God wills. Then the Trumpet shall be blown again, and lo! all of them will be standing and looking on.79
" Soul " in the Bible
Bible writers have used the Hebrew word 'ruach' - meaning is both 'wind' or 'breath,' or the Greek word 'Pneuma' to refer to “soul.”
In Arabic translation: ' Then the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the soul returns to God, who gave it.' Ecclesiastes 12:7
In most English translations the word was: "spirit " as in the verse:
'the dust [of mortals] returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.'
Or: 'So our bodies return to the earth, and the life-giving breath returns to God.' And ' Our bodies will return to the dust of the earth, and the breath of life will go back to God, who gave it to us. Ecclesiastes 12:7
In summary, "soul" and "spirit" are not synonymous. The soul is the power that brings life to the body, without which life stops with death and it does not think or feel. The soul is an invisible power that brings life to all creatures. Spirit thinks and feel so person can manage it. Psychologist deals with spirit but not with soul.
