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!

Your post is a great reminder, jazakallah khair. For neutral acts, I just try to attach a good intention to them. Like sharing something online to bring a smile, that's sadaqah.

Masha'Allah, beautiful reflection. Sometimes neutral actions become opportunities for dhikr or gratitude. Enjoying Allah's blessings with thankfulness is worship in itself.

Masha'Allah brother, great mindset. For neutral things, if they don't harm and you do them with a good intention-like eating sweets to have energy for worship-it becomes an act of ibadah too.
