The problem of the soul

[WinterHold]

I personally think that the soul was discovered in our age: it's the "electrical current" operating our brains.

I see a problem there for anyone who believes in eternal life:  All electrical activity in the brain ceases at the time of brain death.  Bye bye, soul...

Actually, our souls are instances of a part of God's soul according to Islam; look at this interesting verse in the Quran:

Sura 15,The Quran:
https://quran.com/15:29?font=v1&translat...%2C85%2C95



(28) And (re-member) when your Lord said to the angels, "I am going to create a human being from a sound-giving clay made of decayed mud.

(29) And when I form him perfect and blow in him of My soul, you fall down before him, prostrating."
— Maarif-ul-Quran

God blew a part of his soul into Adam, I believe that is the main cause we always search for him, the instance of God's soul blown into us belongs to God; that's why humans are described in the Quran to be "slaves to God"; the source can always regenerate the instance (which is only a tiny part) over and over and over.
