The Prophet ﷺ said: “The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are consistent, even if small.” (Sahih Bukhari)

It’s not always about the big moments — it’s about the quiet, faithful ones done with intention. A single prayer on time. A sincere smile. A quiet dhikr in traffic.

💡 DO:
Choose one small good deed to hold onto this week.
📿 One tasbih after prayer.
💧 One bottle of water gifted.
📖 One ayah read each day.

Write it down. Set a reminder. Make it part of your daily rhythm — and let that steady drop shape the ocean of your akhirah. 🌊
