Latifa-e-Ruh
Diametrically opposed to the above mentioned animal self is that component of man which is his soul or spirit.
It is a Divine element in man, as Almighty Allah (SWT) has associated it with Himself: “and breathed into him of My Spirit” (Al-Hijr 15:29 & Al-Saad 38:72). This spiritual element of man totally belongs to Aalam-e-Amr, or the realm of Divine directive force: “Say, the spirit is from God’s direction” (Al-Asra 17:85).
Being strictly of Divine origin, it has an inherent love for, and attraction towards, Almighty Allah (SWT), and, consequently, aspires for a communion with Him. In spiritually mature personalities, however, this dormant tendency becomes very acute and lights up in the form of what is described as a Divine spark.
