One thought on “Change the Story”
Comments are closed.
I have a question for you, not directly related to this post but I’m putting the comment here because my email to you just bounced. 🙂
I’m interested in the distinction between nafs and ruh (I speculate that it’s similar to the distinction between the Hebrew terms nefesh and ruach, which seem to hold the same connotations as the Arabic from what I’ve been able to glean.) Is there any resource that you would recommend, either in print or online, which might help me get a handle on these two terms? I’ve got a Quranic concordance here, which is helpful, but I’d love any suggestions you can offer. Thank you!
