Article: "The Human". I found some mistakes.

Rouh = Spirit.
"While a barrier separated her from them, we sent to her Our 'Rouh'. He went to her in the form of a human being." (1917)
"They ask you about the 'Rouh'. Say 'The 'Rouh' comes from my Lord. And you were not given knowledge, except little." (Quran 1785)
It becomes apparent to the reader that the 'Rouh' is from GOD and it is the accumulation of 'knowledge' that will assist the human being in his life...It is best described as 'Spirit'.
You see, animals also have 'Nafs' just like we do (it is their life-force), yet, you do not see monkeys building spaceships nor turtles working on computers!.
The 'Rouh' is the gift that GOD gave to our species to allow us the advantage of 'knowledge'.
sentence marked in red colour comes from out of the blue (literaly and not literaly ;D).
Quaran does not support this concept, as much as I know.If animals have nafs, then what to think about that
"...You shall not kill the 'Nafs' that GOD has made sacred, except in the course of justice..." (6151)if we cant kill any animal, we all should be also vegetarians!!!
4079 God is the One who made the livestock for you that you may ride on some of them, and some of them you eat.and another thing
Some unfortunate news about the 'Rouh' It will NEVER approach you and save the day. for example, you are struggling to understand something. If you don't ask GOD for help, it won't go; "hey, here is the answer!" no, you have to approach it. Also, it will always be LITERAL. you will have to be specific of what you are asking. Note, you don't have to say this out loud. You can just think of it - because many times, humans have hard time expressing what exactly they want to ask. With the spirit of god, you don't have to worry about this - as long as you get the intention of asking, the spirit will know the question...as much as you wanted to ask and that ALONE (though it knows all the questions you know - it is not going to answer anything you did not ask).
I would like to ask from author - where is it coming? Is there any verse that You can bring to confirm?
As I see it. When I have submited, then in my life happens what God wills. God will tell me or teach me what He wants. There are millions of things which I even couldnt think of (not to mention that I could have ask it) before God gave me knowlege about it.
So I would say that ?Rouh?is able to approach me and it also does it.
God guides who He wishes. Its not that God guides those who asks. or something like that.So never say never...
And whats the thing with literal? God knows everything we think and wish even before we could try to form any question out of our thoughts...
Peace!

Peace "tarmo",
I tend to agree with you here. "Nafs" has uniquely evolved into the human brain. It may also be as a result of the specific connection between the heart and the brain, the former of which also posesses a small neural network unlike previously thought. The specific arragement of neurons and their firing within humans results IMO in the formation of what we call as Nafs/consciousness. Should this Nafs evolve in other species, or creatures which we currently classify as other species, we wouldnt be allowed to kill them anymore. I actually wanted to write an article on this. Dolphins or some of what what may today still be classified as primates may actually turn out to be Nafs possessing creatures after thorough scientific inquiry in the future for example. GOD Bless!
