 Maybe you are doing something that other people are seeing and they're saying, oh, mashallah, sister. Oh, mashallah, brother. But you're thinking if only you knew what I struggle with. Have there been times when you're doing something and the only reason you're doing it is because you know this is what Allah is asking you to do and yet you don't want to do it. But you do it anyway. And the thoughts of sometime plague us. The way that we sometimes feel like we're not good enough because we don't even want to be doing this, but we're doing it. That doesn't make us hypocrites. That doesn't mean that you're a weak believer. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam told us that the Mujahid, the spiritual warrior in this sense, is the one who strives against his or her soul. Ibn Hajar explains that this is someone who does the right thing even though they don't want to. That even though internally you might be struggling with it but you do it anyway because you know that's the right thing to do. The fact that you're doing it anyway, that is what makes you a spiritual warrior. This is somebody who's elevated in the sight of Allah because you're struggling against yourself. What greater struggle is that? What greater struggle is there than struggling against yourself to do the right thing?
