Difficulties of Being a Muslim


Being of Muslim is a very significant issue all around the world. Before and after process is generally considered as a very tough duty list. Everything (I mean, the duties or tasks after convert to Islam) seems impossible to do and especially the prays seem like never will end up. Is that true? Every pray in Islam forever? Is that really overmwhelmingly hard to do?

Yes some of prays can seem impossible to do. Even in an Islamic country, fulfilling the prays can be hard. We can not challenge this. Praying 5 times everyday,  zakat, sacrificing, Hadj (basically go to Kabe) or etc... Furthermore, all of this prays -especially salah (namaz)- are considering as impossible or exteremely hard to do. But, it's not!

I know, if you are not Muslim, maybe you surprised or confused. But, really, it is not hard as much as you think. Have you ever heard the benefits of Salah(namaz, I'll say namaz afterwards.)? For instance, Namaz makes your life planned. Because a Muslim sets his/her life according to time of Namaz and always there will be a plan in the Muslim's life. Time of Namaz has been consistently changing, and it works for Muslim's, too. They(Muslims) know what they do and when they do in summer and also in winter or whenever as well.

I am not talking about Namaz's all benefits or not only spiritual benefits. If I even want to mention these benefits, pages of blog posts won't be enough for it. Anyway; other benefit which is not very common especially in the non-believers, is physical one. When I heard it for the first time, I was shocked. Because as human, you may think that: "This is a pray, we have to do this just for Allah. It won't help me in my daily life." However, it is not. Namaz has particular moves in it. When you do that, it will be very very good for your life. I said I had surprised, because of this. Allah give this duty to us around 1400 years ago, but it is also for human's physical benefit. Moreover, when you at secde(prostration), your body is discharging, too. Because your 7 parts of body are touching to ground at the same time. Discharging makes you feel better and helps to be an optimistic person because it takes all negativities from your body.

Another and last thing is the situation all of these prays in the Muslim's life. Are they hard or not? Well, about this, unfortunately there are many consistent biases. As a believer I can easily say that: " Yes they are hard, unless you got the secret under it. I can't explain this secret properly but I want to ensure you that if you don't miss your prays or other responsibilities in Islam, you will feel much much better than you used to. You know, this is not a concrete happiness. It's completely different. I know, in most times, praying can be challenging or can be hard for you. But you can be sure about that Allah gave this for a reason. You have felt better and felt different like you have never tasted before, after prays.

As you see, Allah never gives us burdens that we can't figure it out. Prays also make you win the heaven as well. So, is this a difficulty of Islam? Prays are hard to do? After all of this, of course my answer is NO. I hope I explain my opinions about this topic well.

Thank you for reading. See you in the other post inshAllah.
