As'alaamu Alaikkum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
It is very difficult to practice your religion in the twenty first century with all the distractions of this dunya. People are hooked on music, movies, television, internet and idol worship of pop stars and movie stars. Those who are hooked on these things are always hurrying home to learn what happened in the soap opera that you are following or rush home to see a favourite movie or to go on the internet to talk sweet nothings to nameless faces and faceless names.
Technology wise we have the iphone, ipad, itunes, thinkpad, laptop, blackberry, 3g phones, pc, mp3, mp4, playstation, xbox, wii and who knows what else. Communication is instant, we can talk to anybody that we want to anywhere in the world as long as they too have the means to communicate with us. For heavens sake we can even talk to people out of this world such as the astronauts who are in the space station.
So with all these distractions can we focus on Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala and give ourselves 100% attention to Him? Is it possible to remember Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala in the modern world?
