Re: Deen and Duniya
Every act of a Muslim is abadat , being a Muslim is 24x7x365 job and your reward is paid 24x7x365.
If you are a student you are performing the abadat of bettering your and other's life when you will use your training and skills you learned as a student, so it is abadat. If you are sleeping as a contended Muslim you are being rewarded for it because you are sleeping so that you can wake up with a new vigor and fresh for performing your Islamic duties. So if you are a Muslim there is no Dunia , it is all Deen. If you are driving a Taxi , or if you are doctor when you are at your job you are performing abadat because you are earning halal living.
The very basic and easy pre-conditions is that you are a Muslim true to your belief and you take care that all your acts are within the basic framework of Islam. In Islam deen is not the name of performing your salat at prescribed times , or performing other mandatory Islamic rituals only. Your every moment is deen. Yes performing salat is mandatory and performing other abidah when they become mandatory is a Farz and your deen will not be complete without them. Some people will make you to believe that if you are running a big business then you are involved in Dunia and are away from Deen. No if you are running your business with honesty and the business itself is halal it is also deen. When you use your money for betterment of your life and the life of your family and then life of your neighbors and the life of your fellow citymen and then your follow countrymen Allah will reward you doubly once for using your skills he gave you for earning halal money and then for spending it on all the right places and for the right cause.That is why Islam does not seperate the deen and dunia.
Allah says in Quran when you are done praying say his tasbeeh if you are standing or lying down. That is your deen and that is your dunia to keep him in mind whatever you are doing, this practice makes everything you do Deen , and Dunia also becomes Deen this way.
Wallah Alim Bis sawab. Allah knows the best.
