Summary Of Our Focus as Muslims

Asalamu'alikum,

Alhumdulilah, it was nice seeing those of you that made it out to Florida. Inshallah, I am looking forward to our next gathering sometime in the near future...Florida was nice and warm. It is zero degrees in Vermont right now (-12 with windchill), but I think I am getting used to it, alhumdulilah...


I would like to share one ayah that sumarizes what we should focus on as Muslims:

"It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards East or West.But it is righteousness to believe in Allah and the Last Day, And the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers;To spend of your substance, out of love for Him,For your kin, for orphans, for the needy,for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves;To be steadfast in prayerAnd give in charity;To fulfill the contracts which you have made;And to be firm and patient, in pain and adversityAnd throughout all periods of panic.Such are the people of truth, the God-fearing.Qur'an 2:177
