"Deenin' hard" reminds us that the deen in its ideal form is a productive and active orientation that has downstream effects in all aspects of one's life. It's not a birthmark or an ingroup marker or a personality trait or some passive inclination. It's thus best described by a verbal noun rather than an adjective. It is above all the name given to a continuous process and struggle. Much more can be written about this and the supremacy of language and how language shapes our world.
