Historically humans have sought to understand the universe and our place within it. At some point certain experiences make us question our own existence and ultimately the purpose of life. In this regard, people make life-changing choices to try to bring about improvements within themselves. One of the key necessary changes that can bring about this dramatic sense of well being is to develop a spiritual connection with your Creator. Similarly, Islam encourages us to contemplate and make those same choices to further develop, improve and enhance ourselves both spiritually and physically.
