Hot take - Most Muslims confuse change with Improvement
Here is a statement I want you to wrestle with: "A Muslim who becomes more productive, more successful and more disciplined but without knowing Allah more deeply has not changed. They have just improved." Change, in the framework, is transformation at the level of values and beliefs not just habits and routines. The Quran does not say Allah will change your productivity. He says He will change your condition and that starts within. Do you agree? Or do you think improvement IS change? Let's hear it. "Agree or disagree — and why? No wrong answers here. Push back if you see it differently. This is exactly the kind of thinking this community was built for."

Salaam brother Ziad, Alhumdolillah thats a very deep question as it entails a level of wisdom and critical reflection for a person to go through in relation to spiritual and character transformation. In the current circumstances of society, it is unfortunate that many people miss this moment of transformation or its delayed in the pivotal part of their lives. One has to really dive deeply into their inner world and ask Allah swt aligned with their positive actions to make a significant difference in their formalities as a human being.

I personally endured a momentus change in my life which was a catalyst to a ascension journey. It may have been Allah's beacon of light and wisdom that was shed upon me from his mercy to find clarity and purpose to achieve higher objectives. Throughout the journey I have learnt to distance myself from indulging in useless worldly items and wasteful unproductive talks. Learning that good and evil exist within the metaphysics of this dunya and how we need to balance ourselves mentally with the challenges and obstacles that we are tested with. May Allah swt strengthen our Iman internally and externally. Ameen
