Islam is Work

Hello. So school has finally started for me :(. It's a tragedy I can't believe summer has ended so soon, and I'm sure many of you feel the same way. Ah well nothing we can do about it, unless someone wants to sneak into the board of education's building kidnap the president and force him at gun point to ban school forever, anyone volunteers as tribute? No takers? Ok then :(. So last week I gave a list of Muslim multimedia's (see previous blog post). Some books I read though depict Islam too perfectly like the characters don't really struggle with Islam they get up to pray fajr or some other prayer and the main character just says I feel so much peace and sincerity. And I'm not saying that never happens but what books sometimes forget to depict that Islam is work a lot of times, sometimes you don't get that special feeling after praying sometimes it takes a lot of work to get up in the middle of sleep, and I am under no circumstance saying that's it's not worth it and you should give up, I'm saying it's ok if u get that feeling of laziness at times as long as you continue with what's required.  Just because you feel lazy doesn't mean you're any less of a good Muslim then the next person it just means your only human (who else started singing Human by Christina Peri). Some Muslims never pray because they are waiting for that one moment when they feel enlightened about praying or something else but no most of the time that's not what happens. You just need to put in the effort. It's not always a perfect relationship as described in books, and trust me that is totally fine. Many people do struggle with their religion, just don't give up. And under no circumstance does this just apply to Islamic religions also I'm not trying to insult anyone by writing this post. Au revoir don't forget to comment or share!
