Why do this Daily 'Ibaadah Planner?
The main purpose of this daily 'Ibaadah Planner is to help one to get into the habit of these highly regarded acts of worship, and to steadily improve on them until one reaches a good level of consistency which will inshAllah result in improvement of your Imaan and relationship with Allah SWT.

How long shall I do this for?
In order for one to really benefit from this 'Ibaadah planner he/she must set a duration (i.e. 1 month) with a personal target in mind to improve themselves by monitoring their acts of 'Ibaadah on a daily basis before he/she retires to sleep; this is known as Muhaasabah (to take account of ones actions).

What attitude shall I maintain throughout each day?
When you wake up in the morning, do not expect to see the evening, live as though today is all that you have. Yesterday has passed with its good and evil while tomorrow has not yet arrived.
Your life span is but one day, as if you were born in it and will die at the end of it. During this day you should
pray with a wakeful heart, recite the Qur'an with understanding and remember Allah SWT with sincerity.
Organize the hour's of each day so that you make years out of minute's and month's out of second's.
Profit from every moment of your day by developing your personality, expanding your abilities and purifying your deed's.
 
Engrave onto your heart one phrase: Today is my only day.
