1. Starting Every Task With Bismillah (In the Name of Allah)
Imagine having the strength and blessings of Allah SWT in everything you do. It all starts with a simple phrase: “Bismillah.” Whether you’re studying for an exam, stepping out of the house, or even just opening your laptop , saying Bismillah invites barakah (blessings) into your life.
Hadith: The Prophet (PBUH) said, “Any matter of importance which is not begun with Bismillah is devoid of blessings.” (Ibn Hibban)
Action Tip: Make it a habit to say Bismillah before doing anything significant. Write it on sticky notes and place them where you can see them daily!
2. Keeping a Bright Smile
Yes, smiling is Sunnah! And guess what? It’s also super contagious. Smiling at others with warmth and kindness reflects the beautiful character of our Prophet (PBUH). It’s also a form of charity!
Hadith: “Your smile for your brother (or sister) is charity.” (Tirmidhi)
Action Tip: Make a conscious effort to smile at your family, friends, and even strangers. It’s such a simple act, but it has a powerful impact.

No matter what you’re going through, remember that Allah SWT is always listening. Never underestimate the power of a sincere dua.
