Be a practicing Muslim and a good human being. Achieve Allah’s blessings and increase chances of a better life after death. These two simple sentences can change your life and leave behind a positive impact on you as a person. Mostly, being a Muslim is not in your hands as you’re born in a Muslim family, unless you’ve converted to this holy religion. However, you have to choose your path. As a Muslim, you can be the better one, the practicing Muslim, or you can be the one who is a Muslim just in name, not in actions.

What is exactly a practicing Muslim? A practicing Muslim is anyone who believes in Islam, that is: believing in Allah, His Prophets, His Angels, His scriptures , the Judgment day and Al-Qadar. Moreover, these people believe in the Islamic “Sharia”, and follow it firmly. A practicing Muslim will blindly believe in the One and Only Allah as well as the Holy Quran. In addition to that, the Five Pillars of Islam, which forms the basics of Islam, will be strictly practiced by them. These are the five religious duties expected from every Muslim which are mentioned individually throughout the Qur’an. They are Shahadah, that is the daily confession of faith and Salat which is doing Salah. Also Zakah, paying Zakat, fasting during Ramadan (Sawm) and doing pilgrimage (Hajj) is among the others. Along with performing all these duties, you have to have a pure heart pumping to only serve Allah Almighty and walk on the Path of God. A practicing Muslim will be an active Muslim who will observe daily prayers, read the Holy Quran, dress up pursuing the moral Islamic principles, and follow the Five Pillars of Islam along with the Six Pillars of Faith. Most importantly, a practicing Muslim won’t go astray to the path of Shaaitan but remain intact as a good Muslim. Along with it, they’ll be good human beings, gifts to the society and symbol of goodness.

Being a practicing Muslim comes with its benefits. You’ll be able to form a better communication with Allah through Namaz and will help you acquire peace and harmony within yourself and with people around you. By performing pilgrimage to Makkah, you will exceed yourself from being nationalistic into being universal. Your personality will turn into a kind one that’ll be able to control lust, selfishness and desire. You’ll turn into a hindrance to different types of exploitation and will help to reduce social ill. To finish, you’ll die at peace and achieve eternal happiness. Day of Judgment will bring you your positive results for being a practicing Muslim and gift you a life of bliss in Paradise.

All the Muslims should try to be practicing Muslims. A religiously committed Muslim will always get Allah’s blessings and complete his eventual purpose of life to serve Him.

One can be a Muslim, not by choice but by fate. Being a practicing Muslim is your choice to follow the path of Allah to be blessed with Jannat (Heaven) in the afterlife.

Saudi Arabia is the blessed land where every Muslim from around the world wants to go. The main reason is the presence of Khana Kaba over there. Khana Kaba is situated in Masjid Haram which is in the city called Makkah. Apart from the Khana Kaba, in Madinah Masjid Nabwi there is the house of Holy Prophet (PBUH). These two places are those places which are the main elements of Islamic community. Words cannot describe the beauty and peace found at these two places and most of all, what attracts all the Muslims from almost all the parts of the world is the ACTUAL presence of Allah and His Holy prophet (PBUH). Surely, Saudi Arabia is a best practicing country for Islamic Culture.
It is the best practicing country for Islamic Culture because, it is that very place where over thousands of years back, our beloved holy Prophet (PBUH) was born, grew up and finally became our Prophet. It is that place where Islam was spread, and it was just Saudi Arabia which was chosen to spread the word of Allah. No other country or part of the world was chosen, just this land named Saudi Arabia. The people of this land were known as “Arabis” because they belonged to Arab tribes which were numerous  and it was really tough to mold them into another religion when they were so indulged in just practicing their hand made gods.

Saudi culture

Each and every place of Makkah, where first revelation came down in the Cave of Hira on Holy Prophet (PBUH), reminds of when Islam was birthed. The way Holy Prophet (PBUH) has to protect and guard it from the evil eyes, evil people and evil thoughts with the help of Allah and the way He fought for the peace of the early converts. Walking on those roads, where Holy Prophet (PBUH) used to walk have left a feeling of his presence and the way he taught the people of Sauida Arabia to live, is how even today the living styles of those people remind us of Holy Prophet (PBUH). That is why the best practicing country for Islamic culture is Saudi Arabia.

Arab Islamic culture

According to Saudi cultures and traditions, women have got special dressing which does not include anything besides a gown which should cover their upper body parts till the ankles. You will find all of the women wearing that gown free in size so their figure is not prominent, and you will also see them wearing a piece of cloth on their heads. It is called a Hijab. As a whole; it is a best practicing country of Islamic culture in not just a way of dressing but living as well. Over there, all the laws, rules and regulations are based on Shariah as it is not the people’ land, it is the land of the people of Allah. There is a huge difference between a common man and a man of Allah. Saudi Arabia is by far the best country to teach your children about Islam.
