Routines: A way to increase in righteous deeds

Wellness, self-care, and self-development experts all stress the importance of routines. Routines help us increase our productivity - whether that be worldly or religious/spiritual. As Muslims, we have so many opportunities - already laid out before us - to create routines that with Allaah's help, will set us up for an increase in righteous deeds and obedience to Allaah.  By creating routines around acts of worship that we're already doing every day, every week, or monthly, we can find a way to consistently do those things that are pleasing to Allaah, The One Worthy of all praise!
