This is a Sunni Hadith by Mohammad:
“The first thing created by Allah was the intellect.”
God of the Bible says the spirit is the first thing God created in the man when He breathed the breath of life which became the spirit into the body from dust. Only after this happened was created the mind of the soul life.
"And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life [spirit]" (Gen. 2.7).
Christians value the intution, communion and conscience of the spirit above the soulical and the physical in walking after the spirit, whereas the fundamentals of Islam value the head, rationalizations, emotionalisms and self-willed behavior of desires and so forth which smother the spirit from the voice of God.
"For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" (Heb. 4.12).
"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thess. 5.23).
Spirit is first! Then soul, and then body.
