The Soul in Islamic Philosophy awesomeness

The Soul The human soul was the main focus in islamic philosophy Belief that soul consists of rational and non-rational parts (same idea as the greeks) -Non-rational: Focuses on plant and animal souls -Rational: Practical and theoretical intellects

Muslims believed that in order to have a happy soul, you had to isolate yourself from the demands of your body and focus on learning about the endless aspects of the universe. Al-Farabi, an Islamic philosopher was unsure if the rational soul could or could not survive eternally. Ibn-Sina believed that the rational soul had no beginning or end Ibn-Rushd believed that the soul and its parts came together and were eventually destroyed

So basically the soul is the source of acts performed by the will -It is a rational soul because it is aware of it’s existence, aware of itself. It is separate from the body…the non-rational soul is what manages your body, like your instincts are non rational

Without the body the soul does not exist Without the soul the body does not exist You need one to have the other

-The soul is a form for the body, it is the perfection for that body -The soul is a form for the body, it is the perfection for that body. It is what makes one whole. Ex. I am the soul…I am the body *(the body is an image of the soul) Similar to world of the forms Also similar to Christian belief one is made in God’s image

Eternity of the Soul Philosophers believe the non rational soul is destroyed at death but the rational soul is indestructible. According to Islam, Allah sends the angel of death Azreal to take the soul of the person. There is a judgment day, but the soul rests until this day comes.
