There are different ways of explaining the concept of the soul. You may want to search for the article 'Explanation of Soul or Self in the Holy Qur'an and Atman in the Ancient Upanishads' by Dr. Ali Reza Khajegir and Mohammad Reza Afroogh, in the Journal of Religion and Theology, Vol. 2, SRYAHWAR Publications.

Also, see the work by Ayatullah Ibrahim Amini on the Ma'ad in the Qur'an on this website.

If you read French, you may also want to read about the work of ‘Alaudawlah Semnānī and Qādī Sa‘īd Qummī in Henry Corbin, En Islam Iranien, pps 176-180. Here, they talk about the different levels of the soul that correpond to different levels of time. I have translated these pages if you would like me to send them.

According to Ayatollah Syed Mohsin al-Hakim Tabatabai, when you doubt as to whether you have completed three or four raka'at, complete the salah assuming that you have completed four raka'at. Then do salat al-ihtiyat, consisting of one raka'a standing, or two raka'at sitting.

A brother that has studied the Book of Enoch says that the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) are mentioned in the seventh phase. If you would like his contact, I can provide it iA.

I have checked through the whole translated text of the Book of Enoch, and cannot see the quote you mention anywhere.

Here is a link to the pdf. It does not mention the names that have been cited in the title that you have mentioned.

The scholars say that the Qur'an was revealed in its entirety on Laylat al-Qadr to the heart of Prophet Muhammad (s), but the occasions on which he was to utter the revelation were done so step by step. 

If you look at all the different places in the Qur'an where it uses the root word related to 'revelation', you can see that 'tanzil' means 'revelation' (or is translated as such, but really means 'something which is sent down') or 'tanzilan', meaning 'in stages'. A 'manzil' is a stage or station (as well as meaning home/house):
