Choosing consistency over quantity.

In my last post I was going to ask you guys how your Ramadan was going but then I decided to ask myself that question instead.

So how’s my Ramadan going? Well I started off steady, started ticking things off my list of things to do this ramadan, but now I find myself being way too exhausted to even do anything on my list anymore, subhan’Allah.

Let me give you guys an example; I started off reading 20 pages of the Quran a day but now I barely read 4. And I’ve been feeling so guilty and anxious because of how much I’ve been lacking.

You see I’ve realised why I’ve been failing at this, it’s because instead of starting with baby steps, I’ve been overwhelming myself with activities.

What I mean is, maybe I should have started with 5-10 pages a day and increase it with each passing week or something. But I started with 20 pages a day which wasn’t easy tbh. It was a little too exhausting for me. So now I’m going to try reading maybe 5 pages a day in shaa Allāh. And I’ll do that with the rest of the things on my list in shaa Allāh. May Allāh make it easy for me (and you). Ameen.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Take up good deeds only as much as you are able, for the best deeds are those done regularly even if they are few.” -(Bukhari)

Ramadan Mubarak 🌙.
