As expressed in the 7th verse of the 73rd Surah (alMuzzammil), there are prolonged occupations in the day time for the believers. Surely, these occupations are for the benefit of religion even if they may require the believers to function in irreligious environments, becoming involved in profane societies.

Even in the midst of these worldly affairs the believers keep their faith in Allah and never lose sight of the spiritual point of view.

“Men whom neither trade nor sale can divert from the remembrance of Allah, nor from regular prayer, nor from the practice of regular charity. Their (only) fear is for the Day when men’s hearts and eyes will overturned (from horror)”

Surat an-Nur, 24:37

An important aspect of this virtue is keeping the revelations of Allah in mind. In the Qur'an, this important practice is emphasised in the following verse:

“And recite what is revealed to you in yourhomes, of the Signs of Allah and His Wisdom:

for Allah understands the finest mysteries and is well-acquainted (with them).”

Surat al-Ahzab, 33:34

As long as believers keep the Qur’an’s verses in mind, they will correctly construe their manifestations in daily life and, in consequence, will feel closer to Allah.
