I think she's right. We need to use our experience in dunya to emphasise the deen. The 2 are not in 2 dimensions. As a Muslim, we have 1 foot in each. This is a balance that is different to strike. We're not living like monks, only dealing with the spiritual
Sister, I can tell where you are coming from and I appreciate the light bulb moments that brought you to this conclusion. I would only recommend using the comments of our pious predecessors such as "Live in this life as though you are a traveler" or "plan like you will live forever, but pray like you are about to die." Read their books take from the understanding of the people that were around when Mustafa was alive. Read his seerah and the seerah of the companions and be about tafair as-Sadi. May Allah guide us and them
