"I became committed yet didn't find peace"!

A phrase we say to ourselves or hear from some around us. And if you looked at our state you would know that we "became committed" outwardly but didn't commit to actions of the heart. And this is what brought us worry!

You may have committed to prayer, hijab, abandoning music, controlling gender relations, and other things that come to mind when hearing the word "commitment."

But you didn't commit to cutting off comparisons with others, you compare in everything, even in people's interaction with them on social media..

You didn't commit to gathering your heart on Allah so you don't wait from people for praise nor fear their blame as long as you're in obedience to Allah..

You didn't commit to giving priority in your sense to what Allah gave priority to/your parents' righteousness, raising your children, purifying yourself..

You didn't commit to pondering Allah's Book and connecting it to your life, and seeing your reality through its verses, to give this world its true size, and give Allah's enemies and their plot their true contemptible size, and give the Afterlife its true size.

By this definition, my friend, you haven't committed! So don't say: Where's the "good life" promised in the Quran to the committed? Rather return to your heart and purify it and attach it to Allah..and know that (Allah does not fail in His promise, but most of the people do not know).
