The body in Islam
The body has its rights and its demands upon us. However what worth does the body have without the soul? It is a mere corpse, no matter how powerfully or beautifully it is constructed. If the soul departs from it, it becomes a wasted husk. Its beauty can only be realized in partnership with the soul.


Hayy Ibn Yagzan (Ibn Tufayl)
A baby washes ashore on an uninhabited island. Using its soul & body it concludes by itself the knowledge of the world & the existence of god (Allah).
