All of this must be understood in light of divine revelation, not people's expectations.\\n\\nWhat if I told you that performing all of your prayers on time is a meaningful achievement? What if I told you that helping someone in need is a great thing that brings change to the world? Or that smiling at everyone brings change to the world? What if I told you that abstaining from major sins in our time is an exceptional feat? Refraining from harming others physically or verbally? Removing a dangerous object from the street so someone does not slip or injure themselves?\\n\\nAll of these have been affirmed by Islam as meaningful, great, and world-changing; even if the world never notices.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668da0320b76658b4c2330a7","tag":"Worship: Tazkiyyah","count":94}],"createdOn":"2026-08-04T17:25:36.077Z"}
