Day 1 – Prepare for Success
๐ 1- Charity: Invest in your everlasting account by giving for the sake of Allah. Even smiling is a charity.
๐ฟ 2- Rememberance: spend an extra 3 minutes doing dhikr after each salah
๐ญ 3- Reflect: spend 5 minutes reflecting on the blessings bestowed upon you and how youโd like to get closer to Allah this year. Spend another 5 minutes turning them into duโas by thanking Allah for the blessings and asking His help to achieve your goals.
๐ 4- Connect: Set yourself up to pray 12 sunnah prayers (2 before Fajr, 4 before Zuhur & 2 after, 2 after Maghreb and 2 after Isha).
๐ 5- Fast: Plan and follow through on fasting. Canโt fast all 9 days? Try fasting at least on Mondays and Thursdays (the Prophet ๏ทบ regularly fasted these days), and especially make sure to fast on the Day of Arafah (it expiates sins for the previous and the upcoming year)
Day 2: Rememberance (Dhikr)
๐ 1- Rememberance: recite Ayatul Kursi after each salah and before going to sleep
๐ 2- Plan: make a plan for tomorrow – the only Friday in these blessed 10 days. Plan to recite surah AlKahf, and to go to Friday prayers (for males)
๐ 3- Learn: learn and dive into one of Allahโs 99 names, and use it in your duaas!
๐ฑ 4- Review: revise a Surah youโve previously memorized and recite it in your prayers
๐ 5- Reflection: Spend at least 30 mins to delve into the meanings of the surah youโve revised and reflect deeply upon it
