Sometimes piety looks like not reciting Marco to Anne, even
though you want to, because your mom is asking for your help and
you gotta go help her. Sometimes piety looks like not staying in
the masjid for an extended amount of time after salt al Fajr, even
though you wish you could stay and make the Karen because you have to
go get ready for work to take care of yourself and your family. Piety
can look like not praying all these extra pairs at night until
we at home or in the masjid, even though you desperately want to,
because you know you have to be up through the night or in the
morning, bright and early with your children, and you're not
going to be able to survive being kind and present with them if you
haven't gotten any sleep. Piety is not fasting, even though you
desperately want to, because your doctor has told you it would be
detrimental for your health due to a condition that you have, and
even though you want to partake in fasting in Normal Dawn, you
realize that the priority that Islam teaches you to prioritize is
your health, and so out of your piety, you choose not to fast
dances. You can continue to say subhanallah, Amber, Allah, well,
pious. But is worship with the intention is an act of piety.
