The Self is mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[12:53] “I do not claim innocence for myself. The self is an advocate of vice, except for those who have attained mercy from my Lord. My Lord is Forgiver, Most Merciful.”

[79:40] As for the one who reverenced the majesty of his Lord, and enjoined the self from sinful lusts.
