Asslamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
As a naïve (wet behind the ears) 19 year old coming into Islam, the following verses were drilled into my head by my (Tableeghi elders).
[61:10] O you who believe, shall I tell you about a trade that saves you from a painful punishment? [61:11] That you believe in Allah and His Messenger, and carry out Jihad in His way with your riches and your lives. That is much better for you, if you but know.
Over and over I was told and reminded to treat Islam as a business to get to Paradise and to treat Muslims as I would treat my Customers (critical to) the success of my business.
