Islamic spirituality is rooted in the remembrance of God.
A lot like mindfulness, spirituality for a Muslim involves being fully present and aware of what we’re doing and why.
Muslims do this by connecting to God through prayer, reflection and daily acts.
Spirituality is a space for self-reflection, and the Prophet Muhammad said: “He who knows himself will know his Lord.” Thus success in the Quran is defined in spiritual terms: “He who has nurtured his soul, is the successful one.” (91:9)
In Islamic thought, the heart is at the centre of human consciousness – through which Muslims focus on their love for God, and by extension, the love for His humanity and His creation.
