The special senses of the soul
The soul has aethereal special senses and organs just like the material special senses and organs of the material body
http://quran-ayat.com/man/index.htm#...s_of_the_Soul_
The special senses of the soul have special snses other than the senses of the body :
e.g. the mouth of the body is called 'mouth', but the mouth of the soul is the 'spiritual mouth';
and just as that the body has the 'eye', the soul has a spiritual aethereal eye which is called the 'sight';
and the body has the 'ear', and the soul has an aethereal spiritual ear which ic called the 'hearing';
and just as the body has the 'heart', the soul has its 'spiritual-heart
Moreover, the special senses of the soul is more intense than the special senses of the body: so that following death, the sight of the soul becomes more sharp or keen,
The hearing will be more intense than the soul inside its body, and the smell will also be more intense.
The exception is the speach which will in the soul be unhearable: that is they speak to each other but we cannot hear them.
