Nafs wahidah (Adam, every natiq, every Imam)
God created all human souls from the Single Soul (nafs-i wahidah). The purpose of this collective and instantaneous creation was to bring the particles of souls into the loins of the spiritual father. It is because of this that the spiritual mother was appointed afterwards, as mentioned in verse (4:1): "O mankind! Fear your Lord Who created you from a Single Soul and from it created its spouse and from them both has spread abroad a multitude of men and women." Similarly, God has made the Single Soul the place of return and the destination of annihilation.
