The first thing that you do is recognize that you're lacking. You have to recognize that none of us is going to be perfect at what we do. And once we identify the problem and realize it, we can come up with a solution. The best thing to do to be a better Muslim is to get closer to Allah, to realize the presence of Allah, and to know how, no matter what we do in our lives, we're going to find some form of mercy or blessing from Allah in our lives. And the best thing that you can do to get closer to Allah is to connect yourself with him. We have the Quranic words of Allah; we read them, try to comprehend them, and apply them to our daily lives, not just reading them as if they were historical pieces or fictional books. We read them, try to comprehend them, and then attribute them to our lives. Another thing we do is recognize that, as human beings, Allah created us, knowing that we're not perfect. Also, always perform the five daily prayers.
