All aspects of our "personality" is controlled by the brain and the electrical current operating it. Nothing more, nothing less.
For example, if you had an accident and your "personality" changed after it, then it means that the electrical current in your brain is operating in a different pattern dictated by your "new set of neuro pathways" that came to be after the trauma you had.
The soul is the electricity in your head. Its pathways -or how it operates- is dictated by the way your neurons are wired.
You can change many aspects of how the neurons are wired: for example if you "rob people for a living" your brain will be wired as thieve. If you kill for a living, your brain will be wired as a killer.
Our brains are plastic not "static".
That's the soul.
So when you die, your electricity goes to Heaven? That place must be buzzin’.

The one who made flesh produce electrical current can indeed make a replica of it. Or a new creation that does a similar job.
Just like a programmer having a source code, with all the logs of the applications stored in the hard drive.
In Islam, angels are writing my deeds and your deeds. Just like "logs" in your PC.
Humans replicated that mechanism in your inernet browser for example; you can visit "history" and see your deeds on the web.
But unlike the human made web; God's domain is only controlled by him.
