In today’s article, we will be discussing how to do your duty. There are some points which are made for your convenience.
So first let’s look upon the first point and understand in detail what it means.
Importance:
For every answer you first need a question. You cannot give any answer without a question. And for solving a thing you need to understand it, same goes here with our case.
You will first have to understand what your duty is and then you will have to understand the importance of it.
First of all know your duty, duty means a task which is due which has to be done, either you have your interest in it or not. But it’s better to have your interest in it because it helps you to do your task fast.
So duty is a task which is due meaning you will have to do it no matter what. There are many duties upon humans by Allah Tabarak-O-Talah, and there are many duties which are upon you for the sake of your living. Like:
Islamic Duties upon you:
Duniyavi Duties upon you:
Now the above duties are for only yourself, if you do them you will earn the reward. In islamic perspective, for Namaz, Roza, Zakat, Hajj you will get sawab which will lead you to Jannah.
In Duniyavi perspective Work, Studies, Skills will lead you to success and money which will lead you to food, health, and mental relief which are important for your life.
So basically your duties are the tasks which are due and they are none other than your sake. So stop thinking that you are doing it for someone else. You are just doing for the goodness of yourself.
Distractions:
Now, if you have an understanding of the duty, and understanding of the importance of your duty. Let’s talk about fears you face while doing your duty.
So, there are many distractions when you perform your duty. You have to overcome the fears and you also have to avoid the distractions which are on your way.
Before talking about how actually you can do it, let’s talk about what type of fears or distractions you face while doing your duty. Again, we take the Islamic and Dunyavi references as we know them very well:
Islamic Point of View:
However there are no fears in Islamic duties, I mean there are fears but they can’t be overcome. You can never ever overcome the fear of Allah.
Duniyavi Point of view:
I know they are important but you can give them some time apart. Work for a short time, but whenever you work, work purely
Like I said above you can overcome the distractions by forgetting them or giving them some extra time in your life.
But it’s not the same case with fears, the best way to overcome fears is to try them. So try your fears, you will fail the first time, second time but third time you will rise and you will rise heavily.
Laziness:
Laziness – one of the biggest things you face in the duration of doing your duty. I personally do, but I will overcome it. And now I will also tell you how you can.
So, first of all, laziness is a common thing which occurs in every one of us. But you must not let it control you and you also must not make it your habit.
Overcoming the laziness is all about taking a step with courage.Once you take a step further than everything will look easy to you.
But when you will be lazy even the easiest thing will look like a rigid thing to you. So pay attention and have courage, and take some steps further.
Not once but you can do it slowly, slowly within some time. But overcoming it is very very important.
Now:
Do not ever depend on tomorrow. If you have any duty any task do it today, and do it now. When you depend on tomorrow, the next day you say “ Oh, I will do it tomorrow it’s easy”.
But even if it’s easy you have to do it now, otherwise this becomes a habit. And this is not a good habit. It leads you to laziness, which is another bad habit.
And bad habits attract bad people which also makes you bad. So directly or indirectly, depending on tomorrow is bad. And who knows whether there will be tomorrow or not.
Stay positive:
And yeah after all of the things I explained above there is one thing you have to never miss. Yes, staying positive. You must stay positive in every situation, which leads to humbleness.
How you can stay positive, you can do the following things to stay positive:
I will briefly explain the above things and how they are helpful to stay positive:
So that was it, I hope you understood well. Regards
