Multi-Aspectuality and Immortality of Humans in Quran

In this paper I will deal with the question of the nature of the human person in Quran; does Quran take humans to be oneaspectual or double-aspectual? I shall examine three claims in this regard: (1) Quran takes humans to be double-aspectual, (2) the other aspect of humans (besides his material, bodily aspect) is not the soul as a substance in the philosophical sense, (3) since the material aspect corrupts after death, the other non-bodily aspect is immortal. This entails that the criterion for the personal identity of the worldly and afterlife persons is his non-bodily aspect, and the bodily aspect is merely peripheral. This paper has two sections, one of which deals with the verses which demonstrate the double-aspectuality of humans and the other with the verses which show their immortality.
