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
