I feel that these days the younger generation and even older generation, well all of us actually forget the fundamental reason for being on this planet. We live in a world where religion is seen as a secondary act or even the last thing on our list to do, we wake up each day with this routine of going to work, doing family chores etc. We stress we worry, yet we dont realise if we remembered Allah everything else in life would be so easy to do.
Those of us who remember Allah sometimes get caught up, with the society, family, so called culture, where it becomes so easy to get off track and to put Allah second again, where instead of turning to him we start looking left, right and centre for people to help us, forgetting its Allah who helps and guides us an if we remember him everything else will become easy and He will create the path for us. We need to keep firm in our faith and keep reminding ourselfs and others of what the ultimate goal is in life.
Islamic new year, well what can i say, most muslims wouldn't even have realised it was the islamic new year. Yet we know when its christmas, diwali, valentines day and so forth. We do need to educate ourselves further so that we know about our religion and to teach others.
Religion is our way of life, its not a seperate entity of which people think it is, growing up each of us are taught yellow is yellow, yet when you say to someone you need to eat with your right hand they will question it and say why, yet no one will question why is yellow yellow.
What the above teaches us is we need to return back to Allah, read and understand the Quran, the reason why it was sent, the importance of it, and go back to the teaching of the sunnah. We need to understand that we have been given a book which has all the answers to our problems, which anyone can sit read and understand, we need to return back to Allah and ask him to guide us.
Full trust and faith in Allah is what will make us succeed in this life.
