> ( 85 ) And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little." ( 86 ) And if We willed, We could surely do away with that which We revealed to you. Then you would not find for yourself concerning it an advocate against Us. Quran 17:85-86
In Islam the soul and consciousness are considered one. Even sleep is considered "small" death.
The belief is oth the soul and body are created. And that the soul soul will be resurrected into a new body in the day of judgement.
