Summary/Abstract: Mankind has tried to answer the questions about the nature of the soul since history. One of the Islamic scholars who dealt with the nature of the soul, which is an important issue in Islamic philosophy, is Ibn Sînâ. His full name is Abû Ali al-Husayin b. Abdullah b. Ali b. Ibn Sînâ and was also known in the Islamic world by the title of as-shayḫu'r-re'îs and in the western world by the name of Avicenna. He has been one of the most prominent scholars in the history of Islamic science in the field of philosophy and medicine. He followed and enriched al-Farabî's school, which was based on the philosophical system of Aristotle and Plato. In addition to his works on various fields, he wrote many works on the soul. Among these works, the most famous work in the world of science is his eulogy al-Qaṣîda al-‘Ayniyya al-rûhiyya fî al-nafs, which is also an essential work in Arabic literature. It is possible that Ibn Sînâ was inspired, in regard to symbols and descriptions of the soul in his eulogy, by the views of ancient philosophers on the soul.
