i mean you cant cut urself off from the world and be lost into deen , i dont mean dt in a bad way ( forgive me god ) and obviously you cant be too lost in duniya and forget deen.

any ideas comments people.

please i dont need any negative against religion or duniya answers plz

I usually see the one extreme of people getting lost into duniya and leaving out deen. The biggest example of this that I see is that people don't make salats on time (or at all) when at work, or when going for shopping. Another example where people overlook deen is when they sell haram stuff, like a restaurant/store run by Muslims selling haram food/drink.

i had a five day project ...by da time i reached home it was too late to offer asar prayer at home ...it ws not even possible fr me to offer salat while travelling b'coz of few reasons like loud music , nonmuslim staff etc.
so i used to offer khaza aftr reaching home ....bt one of my colleague told me tht there is nthng like khaza...khaza is equal to leaving salat... u shld offer salat at proper time, left salat cannot b compensated by khaza salat.

Plz throw some light on thz wd refrnce to few hadiths.

Having loud music around or non muslim colleagues is not a valid reason to miss salat. I know people who have taken out time for salaat during exams, at work and even while visiting clients for work. Before leaving work, you could have made your Asr salat and then left. That's what I would do when I was going to school. If I was worried about missing a salat by the time I get home, I would stay a couple of minutes later, make salat then leave.
