The soul actually is not just a battery. It’s not just something that animates our body and keeps us alive, right? It has a purpose, it’s a tool for the connection to the creator. It has a purpose, it keeps us in harmony with the divine attributes like; justice, mercy, compassion, and love on the one hand, and helps us move our ego towards the self, on the other. When we ignore our fitra, the intrinsic nature, we lose the authentic concept of who we really are. We are born with a genuine sense of self that is immaculate and perfect. It is part and parcel of our perfect Fitra – our intrinsic nature. However, our upbringing, culture, traditions, trends, social pressure, and what we hear from people… develop a totally different personality or fake self for us. Our likes and dislikes and our anger and other behavior, including our overall attitude in life. This part explains how soul helps us move our ego (false self) to our true self.
