Thank you brothers . The essence of the unrest I was feeling was a conflict with my worldly aspirations
and my duties to Allah. By worldly aspirations I do not mean unreasonable ambition but my duties of
necessity to my family and myself .

This online community is a good way to share your hearts unrest and find ' Ishara ' of solutions .

Part of me said your doing what you do to find peace and happiness , prosperity on this world ( turning toAllah or in the process of making allah the center of all your existence ).
Another part said no you are doing ibadah and want the good in this world and the next as well and there is nothing wrong in wanting both.

I get into this annoying discourse with myself if my niyat and ikhlass is perfect or not.
I try to find a way to balance and combine both the worldly needs and focus on akhira often in
regular intervals.

Like all good things understanding your deen and its practice comes to you with time and patience.
Allah is the most patient and merciful to everyone. Allah (swt) is most beautiful and he gives all his
creations beauty in their inward and outward existence.


You can keep proper Niyyah to convert even Halal actions into Ibadah with reward. As I mentioned in the other thread, one can sleep with the intention of getting fresh to be more energetic for Salah. Eating to get more energy for Ibadah. Exercising to be more strong for participating in Jihad or protection of family. Earning money to spend for the family, spending for family is Sadaqa itself. Also earning money to spend for Masjid, sadaqa etc.
