The ‘nafs’ is something that is taken away from us by Allah at the time of death and during sleep, when we are biologically alive but unconscious. ‘Nafs’ translated as ‘soul’, mind,’ or ‘self’ is therefore our state of consciousness which is present in us when we are awake and which is responsible for our deliberate actions. It is the unseen inner self which we can recognize when we say ‘I’, ‘me’, ‘my’ etc.

And if those who are unjust, had all that is in the earth and the like of it with it, they would give it as ransom (to free themselves) through it from the evil punishment of the day of resurrection. And (something) from Allah, which they had not (even) thought of, will become manifest to them.
