In this powerful exploration into the human mind and its relationship with the human spirit, Malik โBadri invites the reader to open the door to self-discovery, purpose and spirituality through the โpractice of contemplation, reflection and meditation โ understanding the true meaning and โexperience of spirituality as well as oneโs own place in Creation. Whilst central to worship in Islam, โthis will also be of great interest to, and help any reader wishing to explore the notion of spirituality โwhether as part of worship or simply as part of self-development and inner healing.โ
