Stacking a Habit

Sometimes you get motivated, sometimes not, but you have to do it.

Same thing with the Prayer for example, I’ve notice many people struggle to establish their 5 daily prayer. They are not discipline. This example can be implemented to a lot of acts of worship like Giving Saddaqah, Reading Quran, Daily Dhikr…etc

It’s going to be hard at the start, especially if you want to begin a new deed. Allah will test you if you are really sincere on this move. He ﷻ said: -Do people think once they say, “We believe,” that they will be left without being put to the test? -We certainly tested those before them. And ˹in this way˺ Allah will clearly distinguish between those who are truthful and those who are liars.

Just remember this two verses whenever you face difficulties to practice a certain act. I often become happy when I face it because Allah has already told us and warn us. And Wallahi when you taste the pain of discipline, it will be sweat.

A lot of scholar they talk about lowering your gaze, in first off… it’s so hard especially in the wester world, however over time you start tasting the sweetness of Iman. It is the best sweat ever, the happiness of this world

Let’s sum up what we’ve talk about

Building a habit can be challenging at first because it involves significant changes to your lifestyle. Whether it’s establishing the five daily prayers, giving Saddaqah, reading the Quran, or practicing daily Dhikr, consistency and discipline are key. Remember, Allah will test your sincerity in these efforts. Think you are stacking a skill or leveling it up. Over-time you’ll become master on it.

I’ve created a Habit Tracker to help you stay motivated on your journey. Writing things down is more effective than keeping them in our minds.
