why human beings experience negativity in this world. The second is to find positive responses to these situations. Human beings have been given the freedom to choose between right and wrong. However, this freedom is often misused. As a result, people harm one another, suffer injustice, and face loss and hardship. At such times, spirituality teaches us how to turn negative experiences into positive ones. Rabbaniyat provides a sound philosophy of life. It acts as a guide, leading us out of the darkness of ignorance into the light of reality. In times of difficulty, spirituality becomes a reliable companion. It protects us from being overwhelmed by adversity. It is, in fact, an art of managing crises, offering us intellectual strength and guidance when we need it most. Everyone needs spirituality, whether rich or poor, powerful or weak. It gives a person a starting point in life. Without spirituality, one lacks a clear beginning and direction. The spiritual path enables us to see what cannot be seen by the physical eye. It helps us learn from the past and understand the future in the present. In this way, it becomes a source of human progress. There are many moments in life when we feel helpless, when life seems without direction or purpose. At such times, spirituality becomes a source of hope. It gives us courage and conviction to move forward. How does a seeker of truth develop such high qualities? The answer lies in the fact that the seeker and the goal he seeks are both connected with God, who is the source of all goodness. God becomes a source of inspiration for him. Spirituality creates God-centred thinking within a person. His life becomes centred on God. This is what makes a spiritual person strong and steady. Through a deep connection with God, he gains inner strength and becomes truly powerful. The spiritual path enables us to see what cannot be seen by the physical eye. It helps us learn from the past and understand the future in the present.
