🕌 The Gift of Consistency

“The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are consistent, even if small.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Bukhari & Muslim)

Sometimes we go big — a long du’a session, a full juz, a whole night of qiyam. But what Allah loves most? That small act you stick with — even if it’s just a daily two-minute dhikr or checking in on your neighbor once a week.

✨ Do this today:
Pick one small act and commit to doing it daily this week. A short surah after Fajr, 10 salawat on the Prophet ﷺ, or a 30-second du’a after every salah.
Make it light. Make it yours. Then make it a habit. 🙌
