Muslims are Us =)

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Look at us as individuals. We have multiple roles in our respective lives such as being a daughter, sister, friend, wife, mother, and etcetra. When we talk about roles, they surely come with responsibilities and obligations. And as Muslims, we have one ultimate goal to achieve, that is to fertilise and enrich our faiths and belief in Allah and Islam, as well as increasing our understanding of Islam. So how do we relate our roles above with the goal? Whatever and whoever we are, regardless as a wife, daughter or mother, we have an obligation to conduct ourselves as a Muslim. For example, a Muslim wife, a Muslim friend, a Muslim daughter, etcetera. This is how we achieve the goal and this is one of the ways we 'dakwah'.

It is understood that some Muslims separate religion from their daily practices. For example, they only practise Islam whenever they pray, or during Eid, or when there is a wedding or funeral. But other than that, Islam plays no part in their lives. This is not entirely correct as Muslims are suppose to practise Islam fully (100%) into the way of life. We always hear some Muslims saying that 'Islam is my way of life' but only few of them understand what exactly it means. So, in everything we do, just anything, we should include Islam in it. If you are a Medical student studying in Auckland, then you should start referring yourself as a Muslim medical student studying in Auckland. You are studying Medicine, as a Muslim, with one ultimate goal: that is to know more about Allah's creations and you believe that you could deepen your faith towards Islam and Allah. That's more like it, eh? =)

We Muslims should make use of every second to contribute our part to the religion. Why? So that we could be a better Muslim and be closer to Allah. By understanding in depth about Islam, we could spread dakwah and we could improve the worsening condition of the Muslims around the world. And remember that we also wanted to change the perception of the world towards Muslims. "Muslims are terrorist, Islam is a violent religion" they say. Always believe that we could change that. Yes, we as individuals. If all Muslims think alike, then yes, we can! If everyone donated their spoon of honey, we will taste the sweetness in the end, together!

So, start planting Islam in your hearts and remember who you are at anytime, anywhere. You are a 'khalifah', brought to the world with a mission. Never forget who you are and InsyaAllah, you are always be blessed by Allah. =)
