World and Religion Separation and Authenticity of Faith

The authenticity of faith hinges on expanding the realm of belief to encompass every aspect of life. For this, the separation between religion and the world must be eliminated. The Allah SWT has demanded from us that every moment of our lives be spent in a state of worship, and this is the purpose of our creation.

This is a truth we ignore for a long time, knowingly or unknowingly. Faith had taken root, but it seemed to manifest only in prayers or a few other rituals. We couldn't live every moment in the ideology of faith. The reason was perhaps a lack of complete knowledge, and another reason was being enslaved by our own desires. 

We might not become a perfect person, but we should ask the grace of Allah SWT to develop awareness and thoughtfulness. Whether we are in conversation or study, we shall not separate religion from worldly affairs. Rather, the world itself has to become a religion for us. Whether we are working or performing any obligatory worship, talking or thinking, we should consider what Allah's guidance is and what path our Prophet (peace be upon him) would have taken in this situation.

Aameen!
