How is the Soul connected to our Biological body?

Hi Osiris,

Good message! Its strange that there is a genetic component (or is it?). Such as the childern have some of the behaviour or their parents. Its interesting to see what other people think.

what about the particles which crosses the earth, our bodies in millions every nano second. not physically detectable yet they r in theory ?

Why do we say that everything we do is chemical reaction. where as any one particle can make the difference

Osiris

well, what are chemicle reactions except for organized groups of particles coming together to form a product? Its all part of the same universe.

Peace All,

LoteTree, you stated

If spirit is energy then spirit can't travel faster than light since the speed limit of the Universe is the speed of light?

Not necessarily. If you recall Aspect's experiment mentioned in "the Holographic Universe", the particles reacted simultaneously, instantly, no matter how far apart they were.

And if spirit is energy then we should be able to detect it somehow in the future perhaps?

Perhaps we detect it now, but have given it a scientific name.

PeacefulMuslim, you stated

I would think, spirit and the body are definitely seperate entities but the spirit is merged with the body as one, when alive.
When we die, it leaves the physical entity.....the body

I agree with you, with the caveat that in this life - this realm - the 2 are inseperable except in glimpses, such as out-of-body and near-death experiences.

I personally believe the soul and spirituality is carried in our brains at the level of our brain cells through their chemical and electrical interactions.

Valid point. I would venture to guess that the chemical and electrical interactions are the effect of being embodied by soul, and not the evidence of soul itself. The soul animates the body, not the other way around.

Getting a bit heavier, there is certainly a barrier around the body that maintains the soul energy within the body. If you look at electrical interaction at the subatomic level, one must wonder what keeps the "twitch left finger" command from zipping right through the entire universe.

I some time think that the part of the body, could be the brain, act as a reciever or a reception of the soul. The soul which act as a signal, and this signal to body connection is disconnected while we sleep, and completely disconnected when we pass away. But how and where is it connected demands more research?

Dear All,

I am thinking of writing a book on the topic, and I have though about a few titles bellow. Please comment and/or suggest any you think are appropriate.

A Cellular & Spiritual Junction
The Biological Soul
A Biological-Spitural Junction
The Biological-Spiritual Connection

Any other titles? Please comment, and thanks for your attention.

I like "the Biological Soul" Or perhaps The physical connection a spiritual Journey

Thanks Sawtooth,

I will use The Biological Soul, and will keep you inform...

Children, apart from their look, have some character resembling their parents. Is it because their genetic make-up have a cetrain control on their souls?

Is a soul really necessary? If so why is it that our BODIES are ressurected at the Judgement?

bmbmm

Hi,

There is a soul apart from the body as we know. I think for the soul to have experiance, such as we are having here on earth, it is designed to develop an affinity with the body by Allah, which we are not in control of or know much about. So upon ressurection Allah might give us another form of affinity. I do not know whether its gonna be a biological one or not, but I am really interested to know how at the present it is connected to the biological component.

Peace

Peace Sword_of_Allah,

Please post the ayah the supports your position. In the meantime, ponder this

2424-25
On the Day when their tongues, and their hands, and their feet will bear witness against them for what they used to do. On that Day, God will pay them what they are owed in full, and they will know that God is the Truth Manifested.

How, exactly, would a tongue, hands, and feet testify against a person if the person does not have a soul seperate from the tongue, hands, and feet?

Also, can a tongue, hands, and feet "testify" by way of vocal communication?

I believe 2424-25 tells us that all we do is imprinted on the whole. Our bodies are a walking testimony of the life we lead.

Peace,

What about when the angels take the soul of the sinners, and they punish them? Is that not in the Quran?

Tay

Peace bm,

Kindly indicate who it is that you are addressing. It gets a little confusing otherwise.

Peace,
Tay

To you Tay.

I always think that there is a soul, as according to the quran. But if you say there isn't I will believe you if you show me some evidence. To be honest Arabic is not my language so please make it simple.

Peace

Tay

Peace bm,

Perhaps I haven't explained myself clearly. My apologies. In my opinion, there is certainly a soul - no question about it.

The Quran say someting about the Juglar vein. What does it mean? Can someone comment?

Hi bmbmm,

5016 NOW, VERILY, it is We who have created man, and We know what his innermost self whispers within him for We are closer to him than his neck-vein.

Peace!

The royal we means I/we and Allah so it does not solve the problem of who is this other one/are these others speaking with/for Allah. The "WE" are the sifatullah. And since Ruhullah mn Allah is one of the Sifatullah and it has been breathed into each and every created system, and without which we will die, then by it, the sifatullah become closer to us than our jugular veins which although unheard of at the time of revelation if cut, does not necessarily mean death thanks to emmergency service rapid reaction inshallah. But take away the Ruhullah mn Allah and even the most healthy individual in perfect physical condition will instantly die.

As for the soul. If you mean Ruh then it is explained already. If you mean Nafs then our bodies (along with Ruhullah mn allah) and perhaps many other things discussed by philosophers and psychologists make up part of each person's Nafs (identity).
