Deen O Duniya Book Pdf

[Danny Hosford]

Whatpeople fail to understand is that Islaam is deen and deen is a way of life. Islam and this wordly life is overlap each other. Islam is not just saying the kalimah, believing in Allah, Rasool, Angels and His Books, Islam is not just namza, roza zakat.. it is your whole life!

Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allh is not unaware of what you do. (Quran Chapter 2: Surah Al Baqarah: 85)

salam

when you said that when the prophet forbade us from lying

so why are you saying that it is ok to lie and cheat to get what we want bcerause we have to follow deen and dunya

that is wrong ,please correct

Masallah! It is very commandable to know what your priorities are in this life as a Muslim. Islam is a way of life; it is ideally our basis and our principal perspective. You are still young, but you are blessed to realize that. May Allah preserve your outlook and attitude, ameen.

I understand that you would like to find an Islamic school, but maybe your parents have some reasons why that is not a valid option for you right now. It can be finances, logistics, or even the reputation of the closest Islamic school in your area, among other reasons.

I am sure that your parents love you and want the best for you when they try to emphasize the importance of studies that are not about Islam. They may think about your future in the dunya and would like to equip you with the best possibilities to ensure your stability.

What about talking to your parents and asking them to support you with these plans and your interest in learning about the deen or being with good Muslims around? You may talk about the importance of having good Muslim friends and remind them kindly of their role in facilitating Islamic studies and the environment for you.

I advise you to seek out and join a group or a course, either online or not, where you may meet those with whom you would like to talk about Islam as much as you do. You can seek knowledge by finding an Islamic course or extracurricular activity after school or on the weekend.

You do not need to change school, but you can find these activities after that or during the weekends. When you are in school, you fulfill your duties while also having time and space to deal with what you love and are interested in. You may promise your parents that you will not neglect your studies either.

This is also how we balance deen and dunya: we take responsibility for our wordly matters and try our best to excel in them, while we have to do it with taqwa and the right mindset and priorities.

You can use your time in the non-Muslim school to spread Islam with your good manners, your social activism, your helpful attitude, and your good deeds. If you have the right intention, you can turn even your learning into an act of worship, alhamdulillah.

I am not sure whether you have a break around the time of Dhur and whether you can pray then or not. That can be an option. Even if that is after the exact time of the adhan, but within the time frame of dhur prayer.

When you are praying, just try to let go of your concerns. Be fully present, and seek the pleasure of Allah. Allah will know that once you have the opportunity to pray right on time, you will do that, in sha Allah.

During the teen years, many important changes happen, emotionally, psychologically, and even physically. These issues can occupy your mind and interests. Studies, peers, friendships, etc. That is why, at your age, sometimes it can be difficult to find like-minded peers who are spiritually focused and have the deen as their very first priority.

It is difficult but not impossible, alhamdulillah. So, what can you do? If you do not find them in the school, you may find them in the mosque, in youth gatherings, or in the Quranic school. In a non-Muslim majority country, the places are limited. But still, there are Islamic schools, even online Islamic events, groups, etc.

I advise you to look around and to make dua for righteous friends. Sometimes, less is more. Maybe Allah will bring you one or two sisters who share your interests and can talk about the deen.

More often than not, people tend to function in extremes when it comes to their deen and dunya- some completely invest themselves in this worldly life, forgetting the impending akhirah, whereas others seclude themselves from society as a means to focus on their spiritual and religious duties, all the while neglecting their families and worldly duties. What they tend to forget is that Islam is not a religion of extremes but is, in fact, a religion of balance and ease. The key to being a good Muslim in the eyes of Allah (SWT) does not lie in hating the dunya or running away from it, it lies in finding a balance between your religious duties and your worldly duties- for they both go hand in hand.

In reality, Islam actually forbids you to cut yourself off from the world and your worldly responsibilities and in turn, actually encourages individuals to engage and interact with society and reap what it has to offer, but within a set of boundaries created by Allah (SWT). Islam simplifies our tasks for us rather than making it more troublesome- a fact we tend to forget. According to the Quran:

Religion essentially poses as a guideline for the way we live in this world. Deen and dunya are more intertwined than we know; you can only attain excellence in your deen through achieving excellence in this dunya. The key is to nurture and protect your bond with Allah (SWT) because the quality of our relationship with Allah (SWT) defines the quality of life we live in not only this world, but in the Hereafter as well. A good and healthy relation with Him will automatically push us towards leading a righteous and content life. However, a weak or non-existent relation with Allah (SWT) will only lead us astray, towards a meaningless and empty life. If we make an effort to improve our private life to please Allah (SWT), Allah (SWT) will ensure a better public life for us.

Another core ingredient in achieving this balance is to always weigh our actions against the Quranic teachings and the Sunnah. Be conscious of your acts and whether they are in line with what Allah (SWT) has decreed for us; it keeps one vigilant and in line when it comes to engaging in worldly activities.

Allah (SWT) loves those who honor his commandments and live by His teachings. True contentment and happiness lies in the remembrance of Allah (SWT) and His worship- that is just how we, humans, have been wired. So make it a habit to remember Allah (SWT) in your daily activities and be grateful for what He has endowed you with in this life. Moreover, be sure to never neglect your religious duties at the cost of your worldly pleasures- make Allah (SWT) your priority and live by it. Allah (SWT) really does go above and beyond to help His servants who submit to Him and who live their lives in accordance to His will, in not only in this life but in the next one too.

Islam endorses moderation in all spheres of life. Hence, as Muslims, we should adhere to a certain level of moderation in our deen and in our dunya in order to attain true success in this life and the Hereafter.
