In anthropology based on Imamiyyah narrations, the human being is a multidimensional entity possessing different souls, each playing a specific role. The identity of the ancient soul (Rūḥ Qadīmah) is one of the philosophical challenges in this anthropology. The present study investigates the identity and characteristics of the ancient soul and analyzes its relationship with other souls. The goal of this research is, on the one hand, to clarify whether the ancient soul has an independent existence and a separate and distinct identity in the realm of human life, and on the other hand, what function this entity pursues. This research seeks to solve this problem using the method of narrative analysis and a textualist approach. In Imamiyyah narrations, two categories of characteristics have been identified for the ancient soul: distinguishing characteristics and general characteristics. The most important characteristic of the ancient soul is its temporal dimension, which distinguishes it from other souls. This dimension refers to the existence of the ancient soul in the loins (aṣlāb) and wombs (arḥām). This soul possesses life, but this life is limited only to a specific type of life, which is the ancient life (ḥayāt qadīm). Its function is to preserve minimal identity and subsistence in the loins and wombs. This soul lacks consciousness and will and has no effect on human felicity (sa'ādah) or wretchedness (shaqāwah). The ancient soul sustains the human being's existence in the realm of human life, especially during its presence in the loins and wombs. This soul stands in contrast to the "Soul of Transformation" (Rūḥ al-Taḥawwul) and the "Soul of Life and Permanence" (Rūḥ al-Ḥayāt wa al-Baqā’); meaning, the preservation of identity is related to the ancient soul, while change and growth are related to the soul of transformation. The ancient soul is not the vegetative soul (Rūḥ Nabātī), the animal soul (Rūḥ Ḥaywānī), the rational soul (Nafs Nāṭiqah), the locus of the soul, the potential for becoming human, the souls before the bodies, or the seminal existence (Mawjūd Dharrī). This article is written in a descriptive-analytical method.
