Ruha is a term that refers to the concept of spirit or soul in various cultural and religious contexts. It often signifies the essence of a person, encompassing their emotions, thoughts, and consciousness. In many traditions, ruha is believed to exist beyond the physical body and is associated with life force or vitality. In some belief systems, ruha is linked to the idea of an afterlife, where the spirit continues to exist after death. This concept can be found in various religions, including Islam, where it is believed that the ruha departs from the body upon death and faces judgment.
