Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. I wanted to take some advice in shaa Allah. Whatever I do, I just can't follow any study plan, doesn't matter it's made by who. It seems like I just can't put my life in order. Do you have any advices? Should I try to make a less-busy schedule for myself for starters to get used to it? Honestly I don't think I can make one knowing that I won't follow.I really liked yours but I can't buy one for now. Just wanted to ask for some tips. Pray for me please. Assalaam.
Wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
We hope youâre well اŲ Ø´Ø§ØĄ اŲŲŲ .
1. The first step is to make du'a! Lots of it! Nabi īˇē used to make this dua, and we suggest you do too اŲ Ø´Ø§ØĄ اŲŲŲ :
The dua is:
اŲŲŲŲŲŲŲ ŲŲ ØĨŲŲŲŲŲ ØŖŲØšŲŲØ°Ų بŲŲŲ Ų ŲŲŲ اŲŲŲŲŲ ŲŲ ŲŲاŲŲØŲØ˛ŲŲŲ ŲŲاŲŲØšŲØŦŲØ˛Ų ŲŲاŲŲŲŲØŗŲŲŲ ŲŲاŲŲبŲØŽŲŲŲ ŲŲاŲŲØŦŲبŲŲŲ ŲŲØļŲŲŲØšŲ اŲدŲŲŲŲŲŲ ŲŲØēŲŲŲبŲØŠŲ اŲØąŲŲØŦŲاŲŲ
âO Allaah, I take refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debts and from being over powered by men.â
2. Figure out what it is that is causing you to not study. Is it stress? Procrastination? Lack of motivation? Or any other issues?
Identify the issue and try your best to get rid of that issue in two ways:Firstly with du'a, and secondly, exerting your own effort.
If itâs stress, then know that everything is written and itâs all in the Hands of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. We can only try.
If itâs procrastination, then just for an hour, get rid of anything that is causing distraction. The hardest part is always to start. Mentally tell yourself that youâre only sitting down for 10 minutes to work, thatâs it. اŲ Ø´Ø§ØĄ اŲŲŲ it comes out as a longer session.
If itâs motivation, then know that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has placed you in this world for a reason. YOU were chosen for a reason. Leave a legacy behind. Be the BEST in everything you do. Thatâs the sunnah of our beloved Nabi īˇē - to be the best.
3. Finally, begin with small steps. Donât rush into it. Whether itâs starting with studying an hour daily, or beginning with 3 habits for the month - each month, write down 3 habits that no matter what, youâre going to consecutively do. One spiritual, one academic, and one lifestyle habit. Once you do that habit for atleast 25/30 days, اŲ Ø´Ø§ØĄ اŲŲŲ it becomes a permanent habit and then next month, you can focus on another three.
I canât stress enough the importance of dua. If you ever feel like anything is overwhelming you, just recite:
Ųا ØŲŲŲŲŲ ŲŲŲا ŲŲŲŲŲØŠŲ ØĨŲŲا بŲاŲŲŲThere is neither Might nor Power except with Allah.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala ease your affairs, grant you success in both worlds, and make you a means of benefit for the ummah.
Aameen thumma aameen.
Please forgive us if weâve erred anywhere in our response.
