We must obey Allah Ta’ala everywhere

A person must follow and respect the rules of his boss as long as he is in his workplace. Before entering the workplace and after working hours, he is free to live his life because he no longer has any commitment between him and his boss during these hours. But Allah Ta’ala is our Maalik (boss) and our Rabb all the time and in all places. And we will remain His servant all the time and in all places. There is not a place or a time when we are not His servant. Therefore, our commitment to our Rabb exists everywhere and all the time. That is why we must remain in His obedience everywhere and all the time. Just as we must obey Him in the Masjid, we must also obey Him in the bazaar. Just as we must follow His commandments in the month of Ramadhan, we must also follow His commandments outside Ramadhan. In happiness or sadness, in adversity or prosperity, in every state, we remain His servant and we must live according to His commandments.
