The Soul: Rooh or Nafs?

[X-press]

What is the difference between 'Rooh' and 'Nafs' when it comes to the human soul?

[Arabian Princess]

hmmm

acording to my understanding ..

Rooh: is the Soul

Nafs: is the person with soul .. the whole identity of the person

(thats speaking from an arabic point of view .. maybe somenoe refering to a tafseer book could give a better explanation)

AS AP said the word "rooh" means the soul, and the soul is one of Allah secrets. And it's known the the human body for example includes both the body and the soul, when the person die the soul will be taken out of the body and the person dies. So the word "Nafs" means the person as a human being so it includes the soul, the brain, the heart and others senses of the human being.
