Abstract

The article explores the concept of the body in Islam, examining the relationship between the body and soul as defined by Islamic teachings. It identifies two predominant views within the Islamic tradition: one that emphasizes the material aspects of the body and another that focuses on the immaterial soul, highlighting the theological and philosophical debates surrounding these concepts. Ultimately, the text underscores the importance of understanding the body as a creation of God, which carries dignity and must be treated with respect according to Islamic principles.
