    · Can the soul travel into the spiritual world through meditation or dhikr?

    Mufti Abu Layth says he understands the soul not as a ghost inside the body but as a non-local consciousness that the brain connects to, like a handset picking up a signal, and that collective consciousness shifts over time.

    “i feel the soul is never in the body anyway in that sense that people think like people think the soul is a ghost kind of figure inside you”
