In Hinduism the atman ("breath," or "soul") is the universal, eternal self, of which each individual soul (jiva or jiva-atman) partakes. The jiva-atman is also eternal but is imprisoned in an earthly body at birth. The Muslim concept, like the Christian, holds that the soul comes into existence at the same time as the body;
Ātman ( / ˈɑːtmən /; Sanskrit: आत्मन्) is a Sanskrit word for the true or eternal Self or the self-existent essence of each individual, which persists across multiple bodies and lifetimes.

[1] As per Jain cosmology, jīva or soul is the principle of sentience and is one of the tattvas or one of the fundamental substances forming part of the universe.
