🔹At the end of every Ramadan, we pledge to ourselves that our next Ramadan will be better than the one that has passed, then the disappointment repeats itself every year. 📍📍 *The solution:* It is training and gradual progress, for forcing the self into sudden change exhausts it, and the self is like a child—it needs discipline and gentle deception until it becomes steadfast. 📍 *Psychologists say:* Whoever practices something for 21 days is likely to turn it into a habit! 💬 *And the Arabs say:* `Goodness is a habit;` so whatever you train yourself to do, you will find it easy. 📍 *Identify your shortcomings in every Ramadan.* ⚠️ Take some of the common examples of shortcomings. *`1/ The difficulty of securing the first row in Dhuhr prayer...`* 💡 *Solution:* Train yourself from now and commit to the Sunan Rawatib; ☜ *Because Sunan are a protective shield for obligatory prayers, and start a gentle battle against staying up late.* *`2/ Few Quran completions..`* 💡 *Solution:* Increase your daily Quran recitation, little by little, from now. *`3/ Excessive use of the mobile phone...`* 💡 *Solution:* Start reducing its usage from now; ☜ Because sudden weaning from habits is hard on the soul, and few can endure it. 🔹 *Getting used to goodness is a result of patience, and willpower, and good planning.* _Sha'ban is the farm (cultivation ground) of blessings._ *Shaykh Sami Hawsawi hafidahullah* #السنة_دين_وحياة *اللهم بلغنا رمضان وبارك لنا فيه* 🖇️ https://t.me/shykhsami 🖇️ https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029ValGQ5K0rGiVTPjt3N21
