“The acts most pleasing to Allah are those which are done most continuously, even if they amount to little.”
‘A’isha reported Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying (Bukhari and Muslim.)
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
There are seemingly small actions and gestures that, though simple, can have a profound impact on others.
These small steps, often overlooked, are the building blocks of success and are essential in fostering the faith and determination needed to continue on any journey.
It is through these thoughtful, consistent efforts that we create meaningful progress and inspire ourselves and others to keep moving forward.
