According to the Quran, the human soul is a command of Allah, divine in origin. He has breathed a part of His own spirit into man. The soul is immortal, though it had a beginning in time. A reminder of our sacred connection to the Divine. #Soul #DivineOrigin #Islam

Surah An-Nur (24:35) from the Quran, often called the "Light Verse" describes Allah as the Light of the heavens and the earth. His light is like a niche with a shining star, encased in glass, kindled from a blessed olive tree. He conveys His wisdom through divine allegories, illuminating our path.
