Soul question 2

Submitted by B. Williame (Belgium), May 8, 2008 at 02:54

The first part of your resonse Where muhammed told that the soul:

(And they ask you [O Muhammad] concerning the rooh [the spirit]. Say: ‘The rooh: it is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little.' [al-Isra' 17:85]" )

Was helpful, but actually avoided the question in a paternal way by saying you don't need to know.

Currently you have people who are able to see auras and souls, imposters and people who honestly admit they don't (yes, the first group of persons actually do exist) I've taken an aura Photo once as well as my gf. It was informative as well as I learned that people can explain the same photo in different ways depending their own personal background.

though some parts are in all explanations the same (so I suppose the same rules if they are applied by many have the most ground on being correct) Still what is a soul? Is probably truly an answer only Allah could give for now. Being able to make a picture of 1 is already a huge achievement for science.

And as with the soul, it's also a matter of faith, still I needed not much faith to understand the picture and as I compared to my gf's I could see for my self it's correctness. But perhaps it's not the soul(this aura) but human energy radiating? Any ways, not many religions are up to date on this.

As was told to me the Hadeeth, isn't the holy Q'uran.

The Hadeeth's where written after Muhammed's death(PBUH).

Because the things that you responded with are obeservations of a muslim, etc... and I have to be honest in admitting that I doubt the truthfulness in this. I think that the only answer given by Muhammed (PBUH), is that it's not much of Islam followers concern(yet?).

Still all that happens to your soul (to you) in afterlife is some how the most important thing in many religions, including Islam.

Why is it then that such an important part was put aside so much by Mohammed(PBUH)?

thanks for your time and previous answers.
