An end of the week motivation boost for the brothers and sisters:
It is clear why the ones who revert to Islam a lot of times surpass us in terms of faith and action in the faith (ie living life through the lens of Islam) vs a lot of us who are both Muslim and take it for granted and Nauzubillah even leave it (May Allah protect us from becoming murtad)
Too many people think Islam is either sitting in a corner and doing Zikr all day and leaving the world entirely, or the other extreme that think you leave prayer, Zikr, fasting etc behind and only focus on the world.
Both are wrong. The right way is the middle path. Where you tend to your soul through religious practice like prayer, fasting, Zikr, sadaqa, etc. as well as applying the teachings of Quran and Sunnah to day to day life like finances, career, governance, education, etiquette in relationships and even passerby’s.
May Allah allow us to be grateful for being born as Muslims, may we learn from our pious revert brothers and sisters as well as all brothers and sisters in Islam regarding faith, and may our end be also in the name of Allah, whether in spiritual practice or daily affairs. Ameen.
