The perception of an average Muslim today is that praying the five daily prayers and periodically making thikr (praising Allah) is enough for a daily dose of salvation. But these acts that I mentioned are not the only part of the regimen. Islam is a way of life, so if it is a way of life, then all the actions that a Muslim commits should be in accordance with the teachings of Islam. So everything you do within a day, needs to coincide with the teachings of Islam, whether it is in the action of sleeping, eating, work etc. Although this is impossible, because it is human nature for human beings to commit sins. That is why Allah has bestowed upon us through his mercy, the act of repentance. But the point I am trying to make here is that Islam isn't just a set of rituals but rather a way of life, a beautiful way of life. So we as Muslims should base our life around Islam and regulate all our actions in accordance with Islam. And Allah has prescribed the Quran and sunnah as a life manual to help us fufill this task. And if we Muslims just practice Islam as the way it should be practiced, then Inshallah Allah will relieve us of the turmoil, that has been endowed upon us.
