Even Angels Ask
The Qur'an informs us that God breathes something of His spirit into every human soul (32:9). This seems to indicate that every human has a seed of the divine attributes within him/her or, in other words, that the virtues he/she experiences are but a breath of the Divine Names.... The goal of the devout Muslim is to grow continually as a receiver and transmitter of God's infinite radiance, to be drawn even nearer to the source of all that is beautiful, and hence, to serve as a Khalifah "Vicar" of God on earth as described in 2:30 page 49

God breathes his divine spirit into every human soul. So true, though some people feel that the seed comes from within themselves.
What we have in common is the seed, not how it got there.
