The psychological stability is very important element for success, happiness, victory, health, economic prosperity, and many other things. In a state of war, if every thing is available for the fighters, but they lack faith, confident, and the will to achieve victory, they will be easily defeated. If there is a man who is very rich, but he lacks the feelings of satisfaction and inner peace, he will never be happy.
There are some patients who were assigned by many doctors that they are hopeless cases, but with hope and optimism they created a sort of power that helped to achieve their healing.
Man is the only one who can decide to succeed or to fail, to be rich or to be poor. The inner self is the main motif behind crimes, hatred, quarrels, and even relationships between countries.
Diseases have a great effect on man; diseases can be physical or psychological ones. But the physical illness has often clear symptoms. Most of physical diseases are resulted from psychological ones. The term “psychology” some times is as mysterious as a ghost.
There is an extra ordinary power practiced by the inner self upon the body. It can lead man to a successful remarkable job, and also can lead him to failure. It can push him to heaven, and also can take him to hell. Despite the great importance of the “inner self” and conscience, we still neglect them and know nothing about its characteristics and phases and how to deal with it.
The psychological element is able to change the weak lover into the strongest man in the world when hearing love words from his beloved. The psychological element is able to make a few numbers of people beat many. It is a hidden power, a hidden treasure, that no one can estimate its strength. In the past, the only criterion of power was the physical strength, but actually there is another hidden power; the power of the soul.
The power of the soul has the final judgment in many fields like wars, negotiations, business, and relationships between people. We are told a lot about faith and know how much it can change weakness into strength, and defeat into victory. It also stressed the importance of the psychological element while dealing with the enemy. The believer achieves victory not only by the physical strength and the number of the fighters in the battle, but also by the power of the spirit. This power is that make their enemy fear them. The power of the inner self enables the simple rebellion citizen to affect the ruler, his soldiers, and his security services.
We have misunderstood the term of “inner self” when we consider it as a source of evil and sins. We forget that it can be the source of goodness, success, and good work.
Are the inner self and spirit responsible for man's good or evil deeds?
What is the source of the good or bad behavior of man? Is it the soul or the body?
But there are some other evidences that assert the responsibility of the spirit or the soul . The good at the bad mood affects man's decisions and situations .
Also the common term of " evil spirit " may give us a sign on the responsibility of the soul that may have the ability to move separately away from the body . And also Allah classified souls and selected the good ones .
Allah say in the Holy Quran : " ( To the righteous it will be said ) , O reassured soul , Return to your lord , well – pleased and pleasing ( To Him ) , And enter among my ( righteous ) servants . And enter My paradise . "
Is the spirit responsible for the body's behavior and the sins of the flesh ? This view is valid if we consider that when the soul leaves the body ( in case of death ), the body is then useless and powerless .
I think that the soul and the body affect each other . Both of them have a role in forming the character and its deeds . When the soul leaves the body in case of death , it keeps the same character with a memory that records the whole history of man and carries it to the afterlife . But the soul that leaves the body at death , it will be soon back to its body when God orders to in the Day of Resurrection , all the dead will back to life to be asked about all their deeds .
And again , soul and body come to be the same thing to share the same end , in heaven to enjoy the after life , or in hell to suffer together . God does not held accountable only for soul but for both soul and body together .
So , the value of the spirit and its role in the human life is clear out . Although it is not embodied , can’t be seen and its entity is unknown , it has a great effect on the human life .
But man is always interested in body , not the soul . He seeks treatment when he suffers a physical illness . But he doesn't care when his soul needs spiritual treatment .
Some people refuse to visit a psychiatrist for fear of being classified as mad .
As there is food for the body , there is also food for the soul . The food of the body is available every where , but the spiritual food is unknown , as there is medicine for body , there is also the spiritual treatment .
There is a general awareness of the spirit’s role in the happiness of the humankind . And the result is that many people enjoy good health , but in return they have ill wounded souls . So in the end they achieve only misery .
To achieve peace , success and love , man should be aware of his soul secrets and he should care about his spirit as much as he cares about his body .
And this is the secret of happiness that no one .
