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.
Teach us how to take tangible actions Ustadh ji. What would you like us to do on the forum?
 

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، وحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Laa ‘ilaaha ‘illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa Huwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in Qadeer [100x]

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.
