How to lead an Islamic life in the US

By - Ashar Naser

Many people say that being a good muslim is hard in the environment we are in now in the US. This short article will tell exactly how to do it!

A very good strategy to get closer to Allah (SWT) in the US is trying to do all the 5 prayers. A lot of people will probably think, oh, I already pray 5 times a day. However, you might miss prayers, or not do them on time. You might also pray like a robot just saying things. You have to think about Allah when you are praying. All these are as important as praying itself. If you do any of these frequently, you might risk your prayer not counting.

The prophet (pbuh) said that if you say “subhanallahi walhamdulillahi wala ilaha ilallahu allahuakhbar” once, one plant will be planted for you in Jannah.

One other way to lead a good muslim life in the U.S.A is to make lots of Dhikr which means to remember Allah (SWT.) This will lead you toward the path of Allah and keep away from any action that can result in punishment. Another way that you can lead a muslim life in the US is that you can try to stay away from bad things. There are a lot of people who could have a bad influence on you so try staying with the right people. Iblis is constantly trying to misguide us so stay away from haram things as much as possible.sa

Overall, we should try to stay close to Allah in every way possible. There are also a lot of other ways to get closer to Allah that you can research.
