Deen and Duniya

I usually see the one extreme of people getting lost into duniya and leaving out deen. The biggest example of this that I see is that people don't make salats on time (or at all) when at work, or when going for shopping. Another example where people overlook deen is when they sell haram stuff, like a restaurant/store run by Muslims selling haram food/drink.

Having loud music around or non muslim colleagues is not a valid reason to miss salat. I know people who have taken out time for salaat during exams, at work and even while visiting clients for work. Before leaving work, you could have made your Asr salat and then left. That's what I would do when I was going to school. If I was worried about missing a salat by the time I get home, I would stay a couple of minutes later, make salat then leave.
