Greetings to All:
God created the human soul and gave each person the choice to believe in Him or to disbelieve. He also gave us the choice to purify our hearts and souls and to do good in our lives, or to follow the other path of spiritual decline.
Both righteousness and corruption are within us, and part of the internal struggle of believers is to do their best for righteousness to prevail. This can only happen by consistent and gradual purification of the heart and soul.
God says in The Qur'an:
And by the soul, and He who proportioned it. And inspired it [with disernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness. He has succeeded who purifies it. And he has failed who instills it [with corruption]. (91:7-10)
This thread will try to present ways towards spiritual health in Islam from a number of different sources, and from the writings of several contemporary Muslim scholars and thinkers, as well as the writings of earlier Muslim scholars.
In-Shaa-Allah it would be of interest and benefit for Muslims and non-Muslims.
All the best.
