Do or Die?

Is it so??? lets find out. My mate wanted to meet someone with religious sense. So I decided to take him to a Mufti (scholar). According to him he was like, 75. What my friend wanted to know is not important. But the things we have discoverd, are. As a Muslim, it was sort of a reality check. We both discovered we were living two lives. No matter how frequent they say that Islamic life-style is easy to adapt, it’s still pretty much hard. Of course, you can't deny the fact that the Molanas are used to living a simple and a pious life. And most of them are practical to their quotes.
The era, us Muslims are living is not an easy one. The ideology of Islamic welfare has vanished somewhere in the black hole of the modern society. To which we are mainly responsible. Now days, we are not even a 0.1% aware of it. Every man is living a life of his own.
It makes me think very often and it extremely pulls my brain out, what are the Islamic Laws for? If we are not to implement it in our lives, then who is? The issue my friend wanted to be educated was not to be easily taken in a single session. Being a moderate person, I think it takes a couple months to do so. Since we are not used to the basic Islamic studies, when we hear such period of learning a single law, we get freaked.
We are living 2 lives. And those who we see prosper, in both religious and business life, is just an overlook of us. In reality we have no idea what the real thing is. Making your life out of worldly ways, is not an easy thing. Islamic life-style, at the other hand, is simple. Making money is not the first option. ‘Cause what we’ll gain is already destined and decided. But helping others and making welfare is.
As my friend asked; if you take a facility from a person, it’s not easy to live without it. The answer he received was; it’s all about making you use-to to the comforts.
The Islamic ideology is not to live this life but to work for the after one, by rituals. The fake sparks of the world has made us interpret the meanings of Islam into something else.
And there is one more thing that I want to add. All the “Islamic Organizations”, no matter what they are. Take it Jihad, Education, Mysticism or Preaching. We just join them to satisfy ourselves. We do stuffs that we are told to do but only the time when we are with these people. In real life, we are not ready to adapt the Islamic life-style, but few.
So now I ask myself…. What are we suppose to do? Live it now. Or live for the later. What is our religion demanding? Are we just happy to live under the tag?
This not just my opinion, it is a bundle of questions that I ask myself too.
