Spiritual Development
Islamic spirituality, often referred to as Sufism, emphasizes a deep, personal connection with Allah (God) through devotion, prayer, and contemplation. It focuses on the purification of the soul, seeking closeness to Allah by practicing humility, kindness, and self-discipline. Sufi practices include dhikr (remembrance of God), prayer, fasting, and meditation, as well as the study of Islamic teachings to gain inner peace and understanding. The ultimate goal is to attain spiritual enlightenment and love for Allah, leading to a life of compassion, service to others, and moral integrity.
