What are some simple everyday deeds that are Sunnah?

1. In one minute you can recite Soorat al-Faatihah 3 times, reciting rapidly and silently. Some scholars said that the reward for reading al-Faatihah is more than 600 hasanahs, so if you read it 3 times you will, by the permission of Allaah, gain more than 1800 hasanahs – all of that in one minute.

2. In one minute you can recite Soorat al-Ikhlaas (Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad) 20 times, reciting rapidly and silently. Reciting it once is equivalent to one-third of the Qur’aan. If you read it 20 times it is equivalent to reading the Qur’aan 7 times. If you read it 20 times in one minute each day, you will have read it 600 times in one month, and 7200 times in one year, which will be equal in reward to reading the Qur’aan 2400 times.

3. You can read one page of the Book of Allaah in one minute.

4. You can memorize a short aayah of the Book of Allaah in one minute.

5. In one minute you can say Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god except Allaah alone with no partner; to Him be dominion and praise, and He is Able to do all things) – 20 times. The reward for saying this is like freeing 8 slaves for the sake of Allaah from among the sons of Ismaa’eel.

6. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allaahi wa bi hamdihi (Glory and praise be to Allaah) 100 times. Whoever says that in one day will be forgiven for his sins even if they are like the foam of the sea.

7. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allaahi wa bi hamdihi Subhaan Allaah il-‘Azeem (Glory and praise be to Allaah, glory be to Allaah the Almighty) 50 times. These are two phrases which are light on the lips, heavy in the balance and beloved to the Most Merciful, as was narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim.

8. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When I say ‘Subhaan Allaah, wa’l-hamdu Lillah, wa laa ilaah ill-Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar (Glory be to Allaah, praise be to Allaah, there is no god except Allaah, and Allaah is Most Great)’, this is more beloved to me than all that the sun rises upon.” (Narrated by Muslim). In one minute, you can say all of these words more than 18 times. These words are the most beloved words to Allaah, the best of words, and they weigh heavily in the balance of good deeds, as was narrated in the saheeh ahaadeeth.

9. In one minute you can say, Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa Billaah (there is no strength and no power except with Allaah) more than 40 times. This is one of the treasures of Paradise, as was narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim. They are a means of putting up with difficulties and of aiming to achieve great things.

10. In one minute you can say Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah approximately 50 times. This is the greatest word, for it is the word of Tawheed, the good word, the word that stands firm. If these are the last words of a person, he will enter Paradise, and there are other reports which indicate how great these words are.

11. In one minute you can say Subhaan Allaah wa bi hamdih, ‘adada khalqihi, wa ridaa nafsihi, wazinata ‘arshihi, wa midaada kalimaatihi (Glory and praise be to Allaah, as much as the number of His creation, as much as pleases Him, as much as the weight of His Throne and as much as the ink of His words) more than 15 times. This words bring many more times the reward for other forms of tasbeeh and dhikr, as was reported in saheeh ahaadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

12. In one minute you can seek the forgiveness of Allaah more than 100 times by saying “Astaghfir-Allaah (I seek the forgiveness of Allaah). The virtues of seeking forgiveness are no secret, for it is the means of attaining forgiveness and entering Paradise, and it is the means of being granted a good life, increasing one’s strength, warding off disasters, making things easier, bringing rain and increasing one’s wealth and children.

13. You can say a few brief and concise words in one minute, and Allaah may bring about some good through them that you could never imagine.

14. In one minute you can send blessings on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) 50 times by saying Sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam (May Allaah bless him and grant him peace). In return Allaah will send blessings upon you 500 hundred times because one blessing brings ten like it.

15. In one minute you can motivate your heart to give thanks to Allaah, to love Him, to fear Him, to put hope in Him, to long for Him, and thus travel through the stages of ‘uboodiyyah (total enslavement to Allaah). You could do this when you are lying on your bed or walking in the street.

16. In one minute you can read more than two pages of a useful book that is easy to understand.

17. In one minute you can uphold the ties of kinship by calling a relative on the phone.

18. You can raise your hands and recite any du’aa’ you wish from the books of du’aa’, in one minute.

19. You can say salaams to and shake hands with a number of people in one minute.

20. You can forbid an evil action in one minute.

21. You can enjoin something good in one minute.

22. You can offer sincere advice to a brother in one minute.

23. You can console someone who is depressed in one minute.

24. You can remove something harmful from the road in one minute.

25. Making the most of one minute motivates you to make the most of other periods that would otherwise be wasted.

Al-Shaafa’i (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

When people go to sleep, I let my tears flow, and I recite a verse of the most eloquent poetry

Is it not a waste that nights go by and I do not increase in knowledge, yet this time is counted as part of my life?

Finally, the more sincere you are towards Allaah and the more aware you are of Him, the greater will be your reward and the more your hasanaat will increase.

Note that most of these actions will not cost you anything; they do not require tahaarah (purity) and they will not tire you out or take much effort. On the contrary, you can do them whilst you are walking, or in your car, or lying down, or standing, or sitting, or waiting for somebody.

These actions are also among the greatest means of attaining happiness, expanding the chest (i.e., bringing relief and joy) and removing stress and anxiety. May Allaah help us and you to do that which He loves and which pleases Him. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad.

Islam Q&A

Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid

Very simple- Every good deed is sunnah. Do not go for drinking water etc as sunnah of Muhammad (saww). Muhammad (saww) is the best example of mankind. He is Ramatul Alemeen. He did good deeds in his life. Do good deeds those are sunnahs. Drinking, eating are normal acts of life.

If we drink like Muhammad (saww) and do bad deeds then will drinking water like Muhammad (saww) save us?

Be a real Muslim 24/7. This is Sunnah. Always search for truth because Muhammad (saww) is truth. Allah is truth.

Never lie is Sunnah. Always tell the truth is a sunnah.

The extra prayers are sunnah. Fasting on Tuesday and Thursday is sunnah. You might try something easy like right when you start doing anything say bismillah Rahman Rahim.

Wa Laikom Asalam. Washing 3 times after going to the bathroom. Eating without utensils. Eating and drinking with your right hand. Blowing your nose with your left hand. Eat 1 part, drink 1 part, and leave a 3rd of your stomach with air. Say Bismillah before starting anything.There's so many but I can't think of any right now, I also didn't wanna repeat other peoples. Salam !!

Salam sister Lamia,

this is one of ur great remnider Q's, reminding us all of our dear Prophet's Sunnah (PBUH), may Allah bless you and your family enshAllah...

Allah SWT says:"...And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal." 59:7 Nobel Quran.

Dear Sister,

when wake up say "AlhamduleAllah Allathee Ahyani Ba'dama Amatanee" :praise to Allah who enliven me after the sleep; death "in which our soul leaves our bodies during it"..

if u use to say it, it will be the first thing u say when angels guide you from your grave after resurrection enshAllah.

wash your hands first before touching another part of you body. make wudu often and say daily morning du'a. smile sweetly to your family memebers and your friends, be a role model of modesty and honesty.

listen to others carefully with your full care and understand what they are trying to tell you to react properly.

be yourself, the honest and modest Muslima and leave any hypocrisy what ever it takes, think in others goods as you do for yourself, care about others and try to be useful person in the life by applying your efforts to accomplish & achive the reasons and goals that Allah SWT has created us for...

during day time many great Sunnah deeds are applyed to gain rewards in both lives and to enhance our life quality.

always say Alhamdullelah and ask Allah SWT for forgivenss since we always do mistakes , say Subhanallah we Behamdeh: praise & glorification be to Allah. which are the most appreciated words a person says as Du'a...

thank you again for the reminder, may Allah SWT guide you for the best in this life and thereafter EnshAllah, amen.

when you put your shoes or chappal bent your body bit down and put your right leg first and tell bismillahi rahmani rahim

Its a sunnah

sleep laying to the right facing the kiblat

lick the end of your fingers after u eat (if u eat with ur fingers)
