Abstract

The human is a universe by himself, with his mental faculties, his world of emotions and thought, weaknesses, abilities and skills, desires for eternity and with some speciliaties that no other living has. The way to success in this life and to reach happiness in both worlds firstly depends on knowing himself It’s our sprit in human who that loves, becomes beloved, falls in love, hates, gets offended and makes offended, desires to take revenge, enjoys good things, dislikes bad and ugly things, gets sad and concerned, gets affected, makes effected, becomes happy or unhappy. Taking all these into consideration we have to attach importance to our spritual health. The humanbeing has attempted to research the nature and source of the sprit for centuries. We are not able to know the nature of sprit, because Allah stated in Quran that the sprit is from his world of “emr” and the humanbeing was given less knowledge about it. Nevertheless, we can say that the sprit is the esence of life that no one could deny its existence, it can not be hold by hand or seen by eye, but its existence is a truth like electirical energy, and it vitalizes the living. I wonder, what is “er-ruh” that takes place in Holy Quran? What is the truth and attribute of the sprit? What is the relation between the sprit and body? Since all deeds of human leave a trail on his sprit, what are the trails of good and bad deeds on the sprit at this world and hereafter world? I’m going to study the meaning of sprit in verses of Quran and sayings of the Prophet.
