If a person must choose between their career and their faith, they should prioritize their faith. Here’s why:
1. Eternal consequences: Faith has eternal implications, while career success is temporary.
2. Moral integrity: Compromising faith can lead to moral compromise and regret.
3. Identity: Faith is a core part of one’s identity, while careers can change.
4. Guidance: Faith provides guidance and wisdom for life’s decisions.
5. Accountability: One will be accountable to Allah for their choices.
6. Contentment: Prioritizing faith can bring inner peace and contentment.
Remember, “The worldly life is only a fleeting pleasure, but the Hereafter is better for those who are mindful of Allah.” (Quran 4:77)
