Mohammed Iqbal's view resonates with the Quranic perspective, highlighting the dynamic interplay between Nafs and Jism.
Quranic Support:
1. Surah Al-Isra (17:85): "The soul (Nafs) inspires, and the Lord inspires."
2. Surah Al-Qiyamah (75:2): "Nay, I swear by the self-reproaching soul (Nafs)."
3. Surah Al-Shams (91:7-10): "By the soul (Nafs) and the proportion and order given to it."
Iqbal's Insights:
1. Nafs receives divine guidance through inspiration (Ilham).
2. Inspired Nafs influences Jism's actions and physiological responses.
3. Harmonious integration of Nafs and Jism leads to balanced living.
Neuroscientific Correlations:
1. Neuroplasticity: Thoughts and intentions shape brain structure and function.
2. Neurotransmitters: Dopamine, cortisol, and serotonin regulate emotional and physical responses.
3. Mind-Body Connection: Research on meditation, mindfulness, and prayer's impact on physiology.
Integrating Quranic and Scientific Perspectives:
1. Divine guidance inspires Nafs, influencing thought patterns.
2. Thoughts trigger neurotransmitter release, affecting emotional states.
3. Emotional states shape physiological responses, guiding actions.
Implications:
1. Conscious awareness of thoughts and intentions.
2. Importance of spiritual practices (e.g., prayer, meditation).
3. Harmonious Nafs-Jism integration for overall well-being.
Further Exploration:
1. Study Quranic verses on Nafs, Jism, and guidance.
2. Explore Iqbal's works, such as "The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam."
3. Delve into neuroscience research on mind-body connections.
Would you like to:
1. Discuss more Quranic verses and scientific correlations.
2. Explore Iqbal's philosophy and its applications.
3. Reflect on practical implications for personal growth.
I feel, Mohammed Iqbal view is more close to the Quranic view, which emphasize that the divine guidance inspires nafs and this nafs influences body's actions
For example, a divine thought influence physiological reaction with harmonal trigger of releasing dopamine and cortisol based on that body performing certain actions
