Difference Between Nafs And Soul
The word Rooh has mainly been used for “Communication from Allaah” and secondly it has been used as a title for Jibreel. Nafs is used in the Qur’aan in the same way as “self” is used in English. I am not aware of any specific word for soul in the Qur’aan. you can read details at: About Rooh http://www.teachingsofthequraan.com/article/20 About Nafs http://www.teachingsofthequraan.com/article/22
