Spiritual Development
A human being consists of two important elements – body and soul – and each of these elements has special needs. For example, in order for the body to grow, it needs food, medicine, exercises, etc. – and this is what many people put emphasis on these days. It is important to put stress on this part. However, the soul also needs the same care, if not more. The care of the soul is not by means of food, nor medications, or exercises, but through education, that connects one to the Creator through good deeds, sincerity, and perfection (ihsan). The dictionary definition of soul is, “The immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life.” Thus, human being cannot fully develop and reach the level of vicegerent, which God meant for them, unless both body and soul are developed.
