Note: regarding the Ruh (soul) and !nafs (self)- The majority of scholars agree they are the same thing. The difference is when the soul is placed into the body it is pure, and as soon as it mixes and is connected with the rest of your conscience, desires and body, it becomes part of who you are, called the self (Nafs), collectively. Therefore, your soul can get tainted and changed or kept purified by the the way you become, and in turn, the soul itself becomes a guider of good or an influencer of bad. When we die, it is no longer just called ‘ruh’ which is taken out, it is almost always called Nafs (self) in the Quran, because it is now what it has become and who you are that you turned it into over your life. Eg like putting a hard drive into a computer, after you fill it with information, the hard drive is now something else.

Brother Bilal Assad, why did you call Gabriel and Angel. You don't know the Quran the Ayats of Allah. Gabriel is not an angel why you lying on the Quran Gabriel is not an angel He is ruh. Don't you know what is the rooh is. Read Quran brother You will find out what Rooh is? Don't lie on the Ayats of Allah. Ruh is not an angel. Rooh Is the saying of Allah. Read Surah Yasin. Aya 82.
اِنَّمَاۤ اَمْرُهٗۤ اِذَاۤ اَرَادَ شَیْــٴًـا اَنْ یَّقُوْلَ لَهٗ كُنْ فَیَكُوْنُ(82)
Allah He is talking about what is Rooh in this Ayat. وَ یَسْــٴَـلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الرُّوْحِؕ-قُلِ الرُّوْحُ مِنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّیْ وَ مَاۤ اُوْتِیْتُمْ مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا(85)
Rooh Is from the amr of Allah. You don't know what Amr is? Amr means the saying of Allah. So never ever called Gabriel Is an angel He is not an angel he is Roohul qudus Roohul ameen. He is not an angel. Don't lie on that verses/ Ayats of Allah.

I was hoping to get a non prejudice answer of, do Muslims actualy acknowledge the soul and spirit and mind as parts of themselves not just a bag you hold and show off as what you have put inside of it?
As a christian I fully understand my soul interacts in a way my physical outer self can not. It has truths more apparent it knows what the outer selves of others thinks and what they have done even if no other outer self knows.

I find it troubling that our church does not fully teach this as truth.
So I was only wondering if you see your spirit and soul and mind as you yet with a fully intact persona that may vary greatly then your outer physical self?

The example would be if your brother has done you wrong your whole life yet lied and you trusted him. You are a great friend of your brother yet he is the one that was with your wife he was the one that stole from you and ruined your business he was the one who turned you in for what he did and not you.
These things making your soul or spirit not talk to him not have a relationship with him
