Fatwa #535516 May 2002United States of America
How do I explain what RUH (Soul) is to my 7-year and 5-year olds?lease provide a descriptive answer, as they ask lots of questions.
Answer
The reality of the Rooh cannot be understood by any human being - young and
adult alike. Allah Ta'ala says in the noble Qur'aan, 'They ask you about the
Rooh, say, the Ruh is from the order of my Rabb .' (Bani Israaeel)
Probably, a child may be given an example of a toy activated a battery
within the toy. We are certain this example too may pose many questions.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
