Spirituality in Islam focuses on purifying one’s inner being, and then on manifesting this positive inner change in daily life through ritual worship and ethical conduct.
Islam teaches that God has instilled in all people a predisposition towards having faith, enjoying a meaningful relationship with God, and living a life of doing good. This predisposition is called the fitrah, and it is what causes people to embark on spiritual journeys in pursuit of truth and the meaning of life. The fitrah can only be fully satisfied when it finds God’s Revelation and the teachings of His true prophets.
Lack of faith in God, or baseless spiritual beliefs, can make people feel that their lives are without purpose or meaning.
