But we should also remember, such attacks have been occurring since the time of the Great Prophet Muhammad (May Allah's Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him).

The oversoul is Emerson's name for God. He sees God as an entity and inside it is the world, as we know it including humans, animals and everything that exists.
