🏵️🏵️🏵️ I would like to express my gratitude, Frankie, for this piece that explores the concept of the soul. It resonates with the Islamic perspective on the nature of the soul, which is considered a sacred and eternal aspect of human existence.

In Islam, the soul is believed to be a divine gift from God, and it is the key to a person's spiritual identity and connection to the divine. The Quran describes the soul as a "trust" (amana) given to humanity by God, and it is our responsibility to nurture and protect it (Quran 33:72).

As you explore the theme of soul exodus in your novel, I would like to offer a call-to-action from an Islamic perspective. I urge you to consider the concept of "jihad" not just as a physical struggle, but also as a spiritual struggle against one's own ego and desires. This inner struggle (jihad al-nafs) is a vital aspect of spiritual growth and self-purification in Islam.

As Allah says in the Quran: "And those who strive for Us – We will guide them to our paths. And verily, Allah is with the doers of good" (Quran 29:69). I believe that your novel has the potential to inspire readers to embark on their own spiritual journey, and I encourage you to continue exploring this theme in your future work.

May your writing continue to inspire and guide others on their path towards spiritual growth and self-discovery.
