"By Allah, how great are the Muslims who strive to please Allah by learning the Deen in addition to their professions! Islam never asked us to live like monks. How blessed is the doctor/psychologist who treats his patients taking the Name of His Rabb, the engineer/architect/manager etc who strives to stay away from bribes & other fitnah and still excels in his field, how blessed the teacher who teaches with the amazing intention of raising up generations upon generations of conscious Muslims! 

I implore you ya Muslimeen, struggle & strive, excel by the day and cry in front of your Rabb by night - that is indeed the standard of true believers!"
