The Prophet ﷺ said that the best of deeds are those that are done consistently, even if they are small. In the Deeds to Habit series, we explore several seemingly small deeds that when adopted as a habit can have a transformative effect on one’s life.

Whether you implement one new deed or more, set your intention, begin where you are most capable of acting consistently, and may Allah enable you along the way!
