The authors highlight the discussion on the concept of man and the human soul, and his relationship with God and the universe as a basic framework of Islamic spirituality. The framework is in accordance with the Qur’ān, the <em>Sunnah</em> of the Prophet (p.b.u.h), and the consensus of religious scholars (<em>‘ulamā’</em>). This research is qualitative, in which a textual analysis technique is applied on classical, as well as relevant contemporary materials on Islamic spirituality. Findings show that the well-being of a Muslim and the sustainability of his living depend on some fundamental principles, such as the unity of God (<em>tawḥῑd</em>), the vicegerent of God (<em>khalīfatu‘Llah</em>), god-consciousness (<em>iḥsan</em>) and others. These principles constitute as core manifestations of Islamic spirituality as evident from the life of Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h).</p> ER -
