Yes. Islam has a spiritual dimension. It is called purification of the soul which is one of the tasks for which Prophets were sent. (Quran, 2:129) The equivalent of spirituality in the Quran is Ar-Rabbaniyah (3:79), that is, a God-oriented life. Spirituality, according to the Quran, is that mental state in which God-oriented thinking develops in the individual. Such thinking reflects in his overall personality; his behaviour with others becomes infused with divine hues. A truly spiritual person becomes a godly individual. The only source of true spirituality is the sustenance of thought granted by God (Quran, 3:37). In essence, spirituality is about elevating oneself to the highest level of spiritual being. This is a profound mental process that unfolds within a person during the cosmic journey. Messengers are sent to inform people about God’s creation plan and to purify them so they become spiritual individuals, thereby proving themselves worthy of entering eternal Paradise.
