Action requires consistency

In the personal development and spiritual nourishing of an individual, ibadah has a specific place. All good and beneficial actions that we do for the sake of Allah ﷻ are considered as ibadah and all contribute to the development of who we are.

This will continue until man finally departs from this world.

As we are approaching a new year within the generic calendar, we are letting go of yet another year of our life. Allah (SWT)'s given us the blessing of being something from nothing. The greatest proof of our existence is time, and within it is the blessing of life.
