Alaikum Most of us either work, study, or do both. In addition, many of us Muslim activists may help organize or deliver a jumuah khutbah, plan a camp, conference, MSA event, or youth dinner, or do other Islamic work. Our weekly routines demand much time and effort.
Every new day brings old challenges and the work never ends.
One day leads to the next day which, in turn, leads to the next. We get caught up in the finite dunya cycle devoid of any spirituality and forget the Infinite Sustainer, the Creator of the dunya and all that is in it. Your seeking what is guaranteed to you and shortcomings in what is asked of you show a blindness of your spiritual insight. Our hearts harden and our lives become wretched as security and contentment require purification of the soul and true remembrance of Allah, Most High. He said, Remembering Allah, Ennobled and Magnified.
