Human beings have deciphered a number of rules and laws that govern the working of the physical universe. Just like these physical rules that govern the physical world, there are rules and laws that govern a much deeper and more profound world of spirituality.
In the modern world, we have been ignoring spiritual aspects of our existence, which has created an imbalance in our being, manifesting itself through dysregulated emotions, mental health problems, poor ability to cope with stressors of life, inability to maintain long-term relationships, and even episodes of self-harm and violence against others.
While science and technology are very useful, the use of 5G, artificial intelligence, and electric cars is not going to solve our basic problems in our personal and social lives. On the other hand, by following certain universal spiritual rules, we can tap into the tremendous potential within our own souls to transform our lives as well as the human society.
This book describes forty universal spiritual rules adopted from Al-Quran, the holy text of Muslims, which are applicable to most of us, to help us better understand why certain things happen in our lives at a spiritual level and how can we lead a more spiritually fulfilling life. This book is intended for all people with a basic belief in a higher power, i.e., God and consciousness beyond death, irrespective of their religious denomination.
In order to limit our personal conflicts, have a more harmonious co-existence, and unleash untapped human potential, the world needs a new civilization whose foundation is based on spirituality. Some of us can sense that civilization is very close, and this book is an attempt to help us get there.
