Spirituality
Question:
Kindly define the word "Spirituality" and what it involves? And how can we identify a person as a spiritual role model?
Answer:
In the context of the Qur’an spirituality refers to being conscious about one’s purification. Purification is the translation of the word Tazkiyah in the Qur’an. Tazkiyah is what leads people to heaven (91:9) and the purpose of religion (3:164).
As for identifying spiritual role model, I don’t think we need to seek only one person as the role model, no human being is perfect; we can find role models for different aspects of spirituality.
