I’ve got Friday prayer blocked on my calendar, but sometimes client calls still pop up. Most folks are cool when I ask to reschedule, but a few act like I’m skipping out on work. Anyone found a tactful way to enforce boundaries around Jumu’ah?

I just say it in nice polite way over and over. When you upload boundaries, ppl will get upset but thats a sign of success imo. They always respect you afterwards.

Tell them you got a call with Allah. Use email if they can’t reschedule.

Be strict on it. I sometimes do attend a later Jummah if it’s possible.

I've got a perpetual out of office on my outlook for an hour. If there's a client meeting I saw I have a conflict or say that I can do anytime except 1-2.

Back when I was a consultant I'd take calls on the phone etc. but ever since I've had th ooo standing people even on the team don't block my time then if they really need me to attend

I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!

Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?
