This calendar isn't just a measure of time — it’s a spiritual compass. The passing of another year is a gentle nudge: Did I move closer to Allah… or drift a little?

💡 DO:
✨ Take 10 minutes this weekend to reflect:
– What’s one moment of growth you’re proud of this year?
– What’s one habit you want to leave behind?
– What’s one intention for 1447 AH?

Then seal it with a du’a.
Start the new year not with pressure — but with presence. 🤍
