@ravage

so are we done with the literal translation issue? do you agree that word for word, without substituting any context that you may suppose may exist, the translation for Nafs would be soul? if you believe otherwise, i suggest you consult a dictionary.

at least one of your own preferred translators when translating in a like context renders ‘nafs’ as ‘person’… e.g. see Yusuf Ali’s rendition of 6:98… or do you now disagree with him whereas previously you agreed?
