{{quote | {{Quran|12|53}} | | |||
Nor do I absolve my own self (of blame): the (human) soul is certainly prone to evil, unless my Lord do bestow His Mercy: but surely my Lord is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. }} | |||
In Islamic thought, the relationship between the soul and the body is that of administration and control. The soul can incite evil. If the body commits evil, then it is a sin, and the person is fallible. However, Allah granted an exception to these temptations to a select few. In their case, the soul does not incite evil, and thus the infallibles never act upon it. | |||
