SOUL SEARCHING
------------------
It is the soul which will be asked and rebuked. It becomes fortunate if
it is purified and cleaned, and it becomes unfortunate if it is kept
impure.
It is the knowledge of the soul which is the root of the knowledge of
Allah. When man does not know himself he does not know Allah.
Majority of people are ignorant of the soul and its attributes as screen
is cast between the soul and the baser self. Allah says: "He moves
between a man and his soul and controls it and its attributes. It is
between the two fingers of the Merciful." It sometimes reaches the last
limit of the devil and sometimes rises so high as to the throne of the
Almighty.
He who does not enquire about his soul is included among those persons
of whom Allah says in the following verse: "They forgot Allah and so He
made their souls forgetful. They are the transgressors." [19:67]
It is therefore essential to know the soul and its attributes which is
the root of religion.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom
(i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue
with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy
Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I
am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
