As Muslims, its our duty to be good to our neighbors, the community we live in. We respect everyone's culture and religious occasions. We even gift them during the holiday season to spread joy.

Accepting reality (need for change) takes courage. Sometimes painting an ideal situation in our minds is all that's needed to build confidence in taking baby steps. You're not failing. If you're focused in the right direction, you'll know when you need to sprint.

We have to recognize the reality of where we exist. That occurs through dhikr. Spiritually, it's called Fanna. It means to extinguish oneself from the sea of the reality of the creation. The more we sit and do dhikr, the more we disconnect with ourselves and step back into His universe.View Post
"In Islam, there is a balance between solitary and communal acts of worship. For example, some prayers are done communally like Friday, Eid, and funeral prayers. However, extra prayers like tahajjud, istikharah, and nawaafil are best done individually. There is a place and time for being alone, and a time for being with others. Islam teaches us this balance"
