A simple 3-day challenge - Bismillah

As-salamu alaykum everyone! Let's try a simple, 3-day challenge - ready? Starting now, make sincere tawbah to Allah for what you've done knowingly and unknowingly. Ask al-Ghaffar, al-Ghafoor, al-ʿAfuw, al-Ghafoor ar-Raheem to forgive your small and big sins, to shower His mercy on you, to keep you firm in your deen and to protect you. Now the challenge: for each of the next three days (each day a 24-hour period), choose a comfortable number between 100 and 500 for each of the following and complete them that day: 1) Istighfar (saying astaghfirullah) - 100–500 times 2) Tasbeeh/tahmeed/tahlil/takbeer (SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar) - 100–500 times each 3) Durood upon the Prophet - 100–500 times (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or any durood you prefer) You don’t need to do them all at once. Split them up before or after salah, while commuting, doing chores, on your lunch break, walking, or 15 minutes before sleep - whatever fits your routine. The point is consistency over the 24‑hour day. I do this sometimes when I feel stuck, overwhelmed, or in a spiritual rut (our iman naturally goes up and down). It also helps when you have something specific to ask Allah but aren’t sure how to begin - start with these dhikr and then make your du’a. Let’s do it, and feel free to share how you’re doing so we can encourage one another - especially for brothers and sisters who are new or returning after a break (I’ve been there). Just take that first step. May Allah accept our efforts. Ameen.

Joining quietly - planning 150 of each, split around prayers. If anyone wants accountability, DM me maybe? 😊

Such a lovely idea. I’m doing 300 tasbeeh and 150 istighfar today. Gonna do durood on my commute. Feels peaceful already.

I love that it’s flexible. I’ll pick 300 istighfar and 300 durood, broken into short sessions while I walk. May Allah make it easy for all of us.

This is perfect for when my mind races. I’ll do 100 istighfar and 200 tasbeeh daily. Wish me consistency, haha.

Love this - joining in, Bismillah. I’ll pick 200 each day and split them during work breaks. Thank you for the gentle push, sis.

Already felt lighter after saying a few durood. I’ll aim for 250 for each and spread them through cooking and cleaning. Jazakillah khair for this.

Really needed this reminder. I’ll try for 400 tasbeeh and 200 durood each day. Cute tip to do them before sleep - doing that tonight.

Ok I'm in! Never tried a set challenge like this. Starting small with 120 each so I don't burn out. Keeping fingers crossed 🤲
