What is one habit from this Ramadan that you want to maintain till next Ramadan and for the rest of your life? [Accountability Thread]

@Suleiman @LordJames @BunnyRabbit @DeadlyVenom

Some very easy yet rewarding deeds:

1) Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Whoever says "Subḥānallāhi wa biḥamdihi" one hundred times a day, will have his sins forgiven even if they are like the foam of the sea." (Source: https://sunnah.com/bukhari:6405)

2) Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi immediately after each prescribed prayer, there will be nothing standing between him and his entering Paradise except death.” (Source: https://islamqa.info/en/answers/609...enefits-of-reciting-ayatul-kursi-after-prayer).

3) There are two expressions which are very easy for the tongue to say, but they are very heavy in the balance and are very dear to Allah (SWT). These two statements are "Subhanallahi wabihamdihi" and "Subhanallahil azim". (Source: https://sunnah.com/bukhari:6406).

Talking incessantly without tangible action ends into demotivation.

Look at this thread for example. It's devolved into cut-n-paste texts, video-dumps.

Lack of zest for days to an end. Now. Accountability is no more.

Learn from the "best".

The one labelled sadiq and amin. He acted that way. But you chose to worship him instead.

And now you are all caught up in this dreadful ritualistic mess of regurgitating arabic texts.

The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, “He who utters a hundred times in a day these words: (see above) he will have a reward equivalent to that for emancipating ten slaves, a hundred good deeds will be recorded to his credit, hundred of his sins will be blotted out from his scroll, and he will be safeguarded against the devil on that day till the evening; and no one will exceed him in doing more excellent good deeds except someone who has recited these words more often than him…” [Bukhari and Muslim]

An end of the week motivation boost for the brothers and sisters:


It is clear why the ones who revert to Islam a lot of times surpass us in terms of faith and action in the faith (ie living life through the lens of Islam) vs a lot of us who are both Muslim and take it for granted and Nauzubillah even leave it (May Allah protect us from becoming murtad)

Too many people think Islam is either sitting in a corner and doing Zikr all day and leaving the world entirely, or the other extreme that think you leave prayer, Zikr, fasting etc behind and only focus on the world.

Both are wrong. The right way is the middle path. Where you tend to your soul through religious practice like prayer, fasting, Zikr, sadaqa, etc. as well as applying the teachings of Quran and Sunnah to day to day life like finances, career, governance, education, etiquette in relationships and even passerby’s.

May Allah allow us to be grateful for being born as Muslims, may we learn from our pious revert brothers and sisters as well as all brothers and sisters in Islam regarding faith, and may our end be also in the name of Allah, whether in spiritual practice or daily affairs. Ameen.

Dying a quick. Well deserved purge.

This accountability. One.

Lacking empirical. No further delight. Life goes on.
 
Ahh thanks for bumping the thread. Alhamdullilah it always makes it to the top of Time Pass around Friday before the Jummah prayers as a reminder to stay consistent, even during war times so we can In Sha Allah join the shuhada and keep to our religious duties and achieve victory whenever it arrives In Sha Allah

Clearly Islam looms large in your heart still. There’s still time. Also still time to learn how to use the word empirical in a proper sentence ♥️
 
Remember to read Surah Kahf brothers and sisters (reminder to myself as well) and make dua for our brothers and sisters in Pakistan, Filistin and all over this world.

May we be victorious this blessed Jummah. Ameen.

Ameen. Thanks for sharing.

Shaykh Sudais is one of my favorite reciters. He has a great voice for recitation. Ma sha Allah.

I will try to fast on the Day of Arafah in sha Allah.

Ameen.

Back in 90s I was madly intersted in radioes where I could listen to Radio Pakistan and other radio stations around the world and I remember that my father used to tune into Maghrib prayers from Makkah Shareef and still remember the beautiful voice of Shaykh Sudais. 30 years on and he still has same voice and stamina, Ma sha Allah.

Regarding fasts, here in Norway a normal fast is already close to 20 hours so it will be hard to fast in Dhul Hajj, maybe try to fast on Day of Arafah in sha Allah.

This thread is lacking zest.

In light of ramzan generosity, feel free to recommence video postings and copy/pastes.

Preferably with empirical evidence. Optional though.

Actually, it is quite sustainable. Not a fad for any practicing Muslim.:inti

But, sometimes intensity can go down. What's important is to keep the scoreboard ticking.

It is like an ODI innings. Sometimes there are big overs and sometimes there are maiden overs.

Lacking even the slightest effort of personal narrations, or empirical observations. Your self-professed scores are unsubstantiated.

A concocted lie this.

There's no connection of these 10 nights to "first days of haj" in quran.

barelvis do this sufficiently to fool the masses. biddah galore them.
 
Even cut/pastes aren't working to revive stale stench of this thread.

It started off with gusto, with promise of EXCEL registers and WOW trends and variances.

Devolved into nuffin'.
 
Thread living large in the hearts of those who have deviated to this day. Shows that even after they “leave” Islam, can’t stop thinking about it. The Quran and Sunnah, but even a mere internet thread frequented by a handful of people at most.

Lagay raho munnay. I feel bad at times for you and hope your hatred doesn’t consume you, but it seems like it has.

Eid Mubarak 😊
 
Once a year act.

Is a passing fad by definition.

Keep pretending for 1 month to be something. You are not for rest of year.

Can’t speak for others but Alhamdullilah been going to the mosque consistently since Ramadan at least a couple times a week. Which I wasn’t doing as good of a job before that. Good way to destress and reconnect especially in Isha like we used to during Taraweeh in Ramadan.

Just because everybody in this thread or forum is not running all their habits by you post Ramadan doesn’t mean they don’t exist lol.

But don’t worry, I leave the pretending to you, forget about 1 month, this fake 11 years madrassa reject / fake ex Muslim shtick has been going for some time.

Jokes aside though, the fact Islam looms so large in your heart after you’ve allegedly left it and a “fad” thread irks you so much that you bump it every week and do such a good job of reminding others to stay consistent yourself is pretty funny. 😂 :kp

That was the entire premise of this thread.

To self-showcase accountability with trending metrics. In EXCEL or whiteboard formats.

Certainly "lol" is being incorrectly utilized in this context.
 
Increased taqwa, no?. We aim for more jamat namaz, Quran etc but it can dwindle very quickly once the blessed month ends. Even these 10 days of Dhul Hijjah are so hard to lockdown the nafs

Great point and that struggle is constant. Iman can go through highs and lows but the important part is using namaz, Quran and adhkar as an anchor. Even if it’s just 1-2 verses of Quran a day. The most beloved actions to Allah are the most consistent no matter how small.

Easier said than done, but for me gradually increasing my knowledge in ilm makes the khushu in namaz more profound for eg learning in depth about the Asma Ul Husna or learning more in detail about Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

Yeah. Intensity can go down after Ramadan. That's normal I guess.

Key is to do as much as possible throughout the year.

I do not miss any Fard salah. Alhamdulillah. I try to do some extra stuff (Quran recitation, dhikr etc.) as much as I can.

For eg the dedication the sahaba and Rasullulah SAW protected their namaz with 5x a day made me far more conscious whenever my nafs makes excuses. They did it during war, went to war against 200k Romans etc and yet namaz was always on their mind. Same thing during Khandaq and many other battles

Sacrificed everything and more so Islam could get to us and our forefathers. So constantly reminding ourselves of the outlook of what we today take for granted through the eyes of Rasullulah SAW and the salaf as saliheen definitely shifts perspective.

Indeed.

Reciting a bit of Quran daily is quite doable. Surah Al-Fatiha takes 1 minute. Surah Al-Ikhlas takes less than a minute. Everybody should find at least 2 minutes for Quran daily (preferably way more than 2 minutes).
 
No matter how busy you are, you should find time for 5 prayers, some extra salah, some Quran recitation, and some dhikr. Very doable. It is all about willpower.

5 daily prayers (30 minutes)
Extra salah (15 minutes)
Dhikr (5 minutes)
Quran recitation (10 minutes)

Total: 1 hour

All about willpower and priority.

And if not there yet start even smaller.

If not at 5 prayers a day yet. Do 1, then increase to 2, 3 4, and then 5.

Start there, everything else you can build on top later on.

This alone will have a massive impact. Esp once you learn about the ahkam of salah, and the meaning of what you say in salah. And see it as an actual conversation with Allah. Otherwise you’ll be saying words and not knowing the meaning.

Learn about the salah and remind yourself how Allah bestowed it on the Ummah as a gift when he brought the Prophet PBUH up to heaven on the night of Miraj.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "The key to Paradise is Salat, and the key to Salat is Wudu." (Tirmidhi 4)

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Pray while standing and if you can't, pray while sitting and if you cannot do even that, then pray lying on your side." (Sahih al-Bukhari 1117)
 
Also need to smile more as per the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.

I think I may be having too serious of a facial expression I realize, trying to act tough all the time doesn’t make one more of a man.

A real man can balance kindness with strength, with kindness as the default.

No more :inti expression. :afridi

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Your smiling in the face of your brother is charity, commanding good and forbidding evil is charity, your giving directions to a man lost in the land is charity for you. Your seeing for a man with bad sight is a charity for you, your removal of a rock, a thorn or a bone from the road is charity for you. Your pouring what remains from your bucket into the bucket of your brother is charity for you." (Tirmidhi 1956)

Surely this thread.

Requires continuous CPR. For accountability sake.

Let's deliver on these big weekly metrics.
 
Update:

It has been almost 3 months since holy month of Ramadan ended.

How did I do in terms of religiosity and discipline?

- I prayed all fard salahs. Alhamdulillah. Didn't miss any.
- Read a bit of Quran here and there. Should've done more.
- Did a bit of dhikr. Again, need to do more.
- Tried to maximize 10 days of Dhul Hijjah.
- Did cardio for 2247 minutes since April 1.

May we maximize our time.
 
Learned that there’s a dua qunoot specifically for Witr, want to memorize that and also stop listening to music entirely, even tho it’s mainly “Islamic” themed music or nasheed with music in the background.

Need to permanently be using Duroos or Quran if I want to listen to something while doing tasks.

The Islamic New Year begins today officially. 1st Muharram 1447 Alhamdullilah. May we all

Keep trying. Keep reminding the Muslims on here to remain steadfast on the good habits they picked up from Ramadan 1446.

You bumping this thread to the top every blessed Friday goes a long long way to remind them, whether they share it or keep it private between themselves and Allah.

Hope you are around to help out in the 2026 version of this thread too :misbah:moyo2:kp
 
Yet. Zilch happened on holy friday since my re-reminder call.

Original premise is for y'all to post accountability metrics: namaz counts, gunnah points et al. In public view.

Apparently, big checks were written. In zest or jest. Now cannot be cashed. Sumfin' is amiss.

Like I said, whether anyone posts here or keeps it private between themselves and Allah- it’s all good.

But you bumping this every day or every week is a fantastic reminder either way to stay on track.

In any case perhaps posting in this thread every few days may be the therapy you need to rediscover your love for Islam and finally complete your 11 years of madrasa education- sheikh.

The fact that you at times dig 3-5 pages into time pass just to bump this to the very top is very heartwarming.

Perhaps there is still hope.

I’d suggest bumping it end of today too, since today is the day of Ashura, and am sure you will want to question why people posted or didn’t post if they fasted today for your personal headcount and your weekly motivational quotes.

Thanks for helping out.

This nasheed doesn't have any music I believe. It also doesn't have any word. Just humming.
