Most muslims make the effort to fit some extra good deeds into their day. Or attleast, try to complete the regular fardhs put on us. Since, positivity is contagious, i was just wondering what are the efforts fellow guppies. Big or small, what ever. Do u set a time to read quran? its meanings? do dawah? helpout at the masjid? give charity?dhikr?
Since nowadays its so hard to find the time, i jus wanna know for those who are successfully doing this, how are they managing? So, in other words, what do u do during ur day/week to make u a better muslim? what is ur inspiration/drive to find time in a busy schedual? Even the small things count, so pls share with us…jazakullah.
<<<I memorised a couple of basic duas as par the sunnah, and am now trying to implement them into my lifestyle e.g. waking up dua, sleeping dua, travel, etc. And what made me take this step, aside from the obvious, was the idea that if during our day we will continue to automatically be reciting these duas, we will continously be reminding ourselves of Allah and instead of just avoiding bad deeds, we will infact try to perform some more good deeds. Like when u feel u are already doing something good, u feel like u deserve to do more and better. So now even sometimes, during my free time, i am unintentionally led to read astaghfirullah, etc. trying to take advantage of my idle time/thoughts>>>
How interesting, a nice thread like this, commentating on how we could increase the remembrance of Allah in our daily routine, is down and has only 9 views, while mostly the 'controversial' threads are all up and visited so often. That says something about our states of minds nowadays. :(
Yari-eh, unfortunately I'm a bad example at this. I only started zikr recently, I'm trying to do it as much as possible during the day when I"m alone. For the rest I recite some surahs from Quran and I read the meaning. That's it. Not much huh.
I pray our good deeds increase and may Allah guide us all that we stop seeing remembrance of Allah as 'something in between'.
we are all very busy and this busy state has left us in a disillusion of success.....sometimes I wanna jus pray for myself to be more aware of my self rather than just my surroundings.
Sadly there’s not much I do except for the compulsory bits. :(
I have firm belief in Allah and his Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and faith in everything they have taught, I do the five daily prayers, give Zakat, fast during Ramadan and donate to Islamic Relief so that they can do a Qurbani in my name on Eid-ul-Adha and I’m planning on going to Hajj after my studies are finished. And I try not committing any major sins. :maulvidis
I also help this old English lady across the road and do her shopping for her because she’s too old. And yesterday I saw this little puppy with a broken leg outside our back garden so I took it to the vet, which made me feel really good. :)
I just try to be a good human being. If it works, great, if not, then may Allah forgive me. Instead of arguing over shia/sunni topics, we should try to become better persons and treat our neighbours (which includes friends, fellow passengers etc) with kindness.
