Your Path to Spiritual Healing

Of all the feelings people may experience, grief is the most individualistic, especially if the cause is the death of a family member. In such times, mental and physical stress is probably the worst, leaving one feeling half-dead. As Muslims, we are reminded in the Quran and Hadith that grief is a natural part of life, and it is during these moments that we are called to seek comfort in Allah (SWT). It’s a time when we need to nurture ourselves in several important areas: the physical, emotional, thinking, interpersonal, and religious aspects of our lives. All components of healing are important, but today, let me emphasize spirituality, which is particularly powerful when such moments call for it. 

Embracing Spiritual Healing

Turning to Allah through prayer, supplication, and remembrance (dhikr) can provide us with the strength and peace to endure, knowing that He is the ultimate healer and source of solace. Loss may be that dark space in us that makes us stop moving, unsure of what to do next. Nevertheless, this type of pain can be unionized through spiritual means. As Muslims, we are directed to seek Allah's (SWT) help in seeking strength in moments of trial. Through regular practice of prayer, supplication, and dhikr we can train our inner selves to prepare to meet grief with patience and with faith, to not let the stigma of embarrassment stop us from traveling through the stages of mourning.

Spirituality invites us to:

• Take a break and let your conscious self take over, give yourself a chance to heal.

• Love and think greatly, and experience the world joyfully and sadly.

• Learn about ourselves, the real and true self in an attempt to fathom this healing and embrace peace.

• Accept other people’s beliefs, insisting that many ways are possible to become spiritual.

• Permit yourself to live without seeking explanations for everything about one’s life.

The problem with the term ‘spiritual self-care’ is that it does not imply whining, it implies that you have a chance to look after yourself. It concerns hope, for a person who learns how to heal their spirit after losing loved ones, after pain, after despair.

The Spiritual Landscape: Wide Range of Spiritual Paths

Spirituality has exploded in the last two decades and has become pluralistic with Eastern disciplines permeating the Western world. Culturally, this crossroads has provided an interaction in spiritual experience that brings new concepts and practices favorable to healing processes. While we still maintain our differences, spirituality provides us with an opportunity to borrow meaningful practices from one another to enrich our paths.

Spirituality and religiosity are not always synonymous. For some, religion is their spiritual practice, while others may have a spiritual life that is not tied to any specific religious tradition. The key is to define your spiritual journey, one that resonates deeply within your heart. Whether rooted in religion or not, the practices you adopt should serve your personal growth and healing.

Finding Your Source of Spirituality

Indeed as much as grief may intrude into people’s lives when it does, spirituality may well provide support. It is when people find some deeper association, with some higher power like Allah or nature or this universe, which gives hope during hopelessness. At times, we even lose this connection, and we are grieving. Yet we perhaps can kindle it again by doing certain spiritually oriented activities. Spirituality is faith: faith in the goodness of things even when things are bad. It is about acceptance of hope and the people’s belief that the difficult lessons in their lives are very defining in their lives.

The Childlike Openness to Life

If you’re struggling to connect with the world around you, try adopting the openness of a child. Children are curious, joyful, and wondrous about their perspective of the world is unique. By embracing this mindset, you may begin to reconnect with the simple pleasures of life, sights, sounds, and smells that bring you peace and healing.

Acknowledging that your heart is broken is often the first step toward healing. Grief is a painful, ongoing process, but embracing it allows you to heal more fully. Grieving is not about overcoming loss, but about experiencing it fully and rediscovering life in a way that gives you purpose and meaning.

Your Spiritual Healing Journey

Before you commence this process, you should understand that healing is a time-consuming process. In Islamic tradition, grief is well understood as a normal human experience that does not come with a template or time frame for mourning or overcoming the loss of a person or object. It is in seeking comfort in Allah(SWT) alone and in finding out what helps return one to self and the world. In the coming few months you will discover several practices including prayers, invocations, and remembrance (dhikr) that can assist an aching heart in its healing process.
