[quote][quote]Are you sure, Nafs means soul?[/quote] [blue][size=2][font=Arial][b]There is some difference in the way the words 'Ruh' and 'Nafs' are used. The 'Ruh' is the subtle spirit which resides in the heavens and needs a physical body to carry it on the earth. When this spirit is given a body, life begins and it is described as 'Nafs'. The word 'Nafs' is used in a number of ways by the Qur'aan, all of which imply the meaning of a soul with a body. 1. 'Nafs' meaning "Self." "[i]You know what is in my self but I do not know what is in Your self"[/i] (Soorah Al-Ma?ida (5):116) 2. 'Nafs' meaning "Blood". "The (insect) which has flowing Nafs (blood)." 3. Nafs as a strong force in man, which can push him either towards good or evil.'Nafs al Ammara bis Su' ('Nafs' which encourages evil), 'Nafs al Lawwama' ('Nafs' which blames) and 'Nafs al Mutmainna' ('Nafs' which is contented)[/b][/font=Arial][/size=2][/blue][/quote]
