Allah gave life to man with soul, and one part of his soul assigned with him. This part of his soul is called Hamzad (ہمزاد) in Persian, Qareen (قرین) in Arabic and Jism e Lateef (جسم لطیف) in Urdu Chaya prush (چھایا پرش) in Hindi.
This divine creature is the self image of a person. The body we posses is known as physical body and and one non physical body born with physical body is called hamzad. Hamzad is born with physical body but when he dies, is a serious dilemma. A separate post on life span of hamazd will be
posted explain this dilemma. Hamzad and physical body are so similar in looking that there is no way to distinguish between the two. Even the dress of both looks alike. There are many school of thoughts about Hamzad, some Muslim scholar call it Nafs e Ammaara (نفس امارہ) which makes a person to commit sins and evil acts, and some scholars call it just a soul. Hindu scholars think that a hamzad is a creature which transforms into ghost after death of a person . Some people call it twin angel. In short a clone of self which is in spirit form is a Hamzad.
Some people confuse hamzad with astral body. Hamzad and astral body are two different things. A special article will be published on this bog to clear this concept.
Hamzad can be conjured, evoked and even invoked. Various ritual for evocations and invocations for hamzad will be posted on this blog
