Empowering Farmers, Enriching Lives: The One Stop Solution For Agricultural Assistance
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the existential truth of humans. For this, first, the human soul, repeated over 350 times in the Qur’an with different senses, was analyzed. Broadly speaking, the human soul can be interpreted as denoting human substance, an animal life, human psyche, conscience or self-cognition, divine substance, an inward force and the spirit. In this connection, different senses of the soul, provided by Plato, Aristotle, Farabi, Ibn Sina, Suhrewardi and Mulla Sadr, were studied. Findings indicated that the combination of Qur’anic and philosophic viewpoints suggested that the soul constitutes the existential truth of humans and thus underlies the entirety and perfection of the body. For this, the soul is called the spirit based on its divine nature. Simply put, it is not the soul in the body; rather, it is the body in the soul.
