Teachings about the Body and Soul
We can see in every religion the clear teachings
about saving one's soul, and the teachings of a totally different existence in
the eternal life. Yet, is it possible that God will not tell us anything
whatsoever about how to care for that vehicle, which carries the soul
around…the body?
In general, almost all the Islamic teachings address
both the body and the soul, performing the prayers or the physical part of it,
fasting, memorizing the Quran, not drinking and even hajj. All these address
both the spiritual and the physical sides of us as humans.
Not obeying these teachings as explained in the
Quran, as long as one has the choice, will result in not caring about the body
the right way, which will result in a great loss in this world and in the one
to come. The loss in this world might be really so great, just think of this
example …drinking alcohol drinks.
