About This Quote
In the world of philosophy and religion, spirituality is defined as the practice of religious and philosophical beliefs and practices. The word spirituality has been used in different ways to describe things such as: "the soul", "the spirit", and "the body". As a life-long practicing Muslim, I believe that spirituality is much more than taking part in religious practices; it is the food for the soul, spirit and the body.
