Just a few thoughts on living for the sake of Allah
Asalamu alaikum, everyone. Even though I was born into a Muslim family, I personally looked into Islam myself and found it to be the true path. Ever since, I've tried to be a better Muslim, fearing Allah and doing my duties as His servant. I try to make everything I do for His sake, you know? Like, when I eat, I do it for Allah. When I study, it's for Allah. I always ask myself one question before doing anything: "Will this bring me closer to Allah, or take me further away?" If it brings me closer, I go for it. If it takes me away, I avoid it no matter what the consequences are. But here's my question-what do I do when something is neutral? I mean, it doesn't really bring me closer or push me away. Do I just go with what I feel like doing, or is there something else I should consider? For example, buying some sweets, sharing something online, or writing something for fun. Would love to hear your thoughts, insha'Allah!
