would you be offended

[Ummu Sufyaan]

if, for arguments sake, that you never prayed, and one day allah guided you, and obviously, you begin to pray. then your family members look down upon you, and think that you practise a litle too much, etc. then a period of time passes and another of your family decides to start praying, and tey dont see it as 'over practising' then suddenly everyone wants to do pray. would you
a) be offended as they thought you were weird for practising it, but then when some else started, its perfectly normal.

b) be happy, because there could be loads of rewrds coming your way.

[Malaikah]

Happy, of course!

[jzcasejz]

Well I won't lie, at first I'll be a lil' bugged about:

then your family members look down upon you, and think that you practise a litle too much, etc.

But of course, in the end you have to be happy cos, they're all praying!

[rozeena]

it would have2 b B. :sunny:

[Danah]

for sure I will be happy, because I will know that allah make me lead them to satisfy that what I did was not too much. and they finally realized that

C. It does not matter as long as I am doing my best to please Allaah(swt)

[Ummu Sufyaan]

yeah, but wouldnt you offened that they looked down upon you but then someone else does it, its perfectly normal?

Yeh I would be a bit offended, coz that’s not very nice that you look down on someone for being practicing. I’ve had lots of people look down on me coz I am practicing (Alhamdulillah), blah gotten used to it now lol.

But the real thing is, is that you get contentment in your heart from praying to Allaah swt, and seeing that others are following in your footsteps, Alhamdulillaah.

lol. i dont mean looking down at someone for practising. its that they look down upon you, personally.

I have no concern if others look down upon me for any reason, the only concern is if I am doing it to please Allaah(swt) or to please myself.

How can the opinions of another bother me, if I am doing my best to please Allaah(swt)? I can not place my wants or the thoughts of others above my desire to please Allaah(swt). It is always a joy to see others trying to please Allaah(swt) it is of no matter what, why or who guided them.

[Noor 13]

I would be happy of course

Greetings,

Why would practising Islam 'too much' be seen as weird for a Muslim? Is it possible to practise Islam too much?

Peace

[IbnAbdulHakim]

[-xRafeenax-]

I think i would be both because yeh at first i would be a little offended but after all they are doing something good by praying so hey!!

[noorahmad]

i would be offended, maybe i'll get angry too, but afta some time i'll realise that i would be of the ghuraba!!!

[Pk_#2]

Well am not an extremist, faaaaaaar from it, so i wouldn't practice Islam TOO MUCH, but if i practiced Islam abit and family got ticked off,

Then decided to be practicing themselves,

then i would kill them.











No i would not like them very much, for a LONG long LONG!! time.

Then I'll be happy after my tantrum lol

[Nabooly]

B. I would be extremely happy. Look how many people youve put on the right path?

Then again its kinda hypocritical, bas you showed them the right way, el7amdillah.

[princessz]

Actually, I can totally relate. I'm very happy for that change..
It is very hard to keep focused though..
