My morning rituals include performing the nawafl prayers of tahajud and tawbah, as well as reading a surah from the Quran. The first hour of my day typically starts with waking up, checking the time on my smartphone, and tidying my bedroom by making the bed since I sleep there. I also set aside my shirt and trousers; I usually put the shirt in the basket, while I sometimes keep the trousers aside for reuse. After organizing my clothes, I grab a towel and head to the bathroom to freshen up, which involves showering, using body wash to clean myself, brushing my teeth, performing wudhu, and drying off with the towel.

On my way back to the room, I changed into new clothes, along with the same trousers I wore the previous day. I styled my hair straight to the right, returning it to its straight form. Now, I am getting ready for my morning rituals, which include performing the nawafl prayer as a Muslim. During this prayer, I usually set my intention for the tahajjud prayer, recite Surah Al-Fatihah, Ayat Al-Kursi, and the standard readings for obligatory prayer, along with an additional sujud for requesting my needs from Allah. This practice is similar to the tawbah nawafil prayer, except I replace the first rakaah with Surah Al-Ikhlas and recite Surah Al-Nas in the second rakaah. I also include an extra sujud prayer, where I make further supplications.

The last ritual I performed was reading some Surah or Ayah from the Quran, either in digital form or in print. I focus on these Surahs to aid my remembrance, which I need to incorporate into my obligatory prayers. This Surah has become part of my daily routine, only changing when I achieve fluency over time. It serves as a symbol of my commitment to remembering the Quran, ensuring that I do not neglect it while reading and during my daily prayers. Currently, I am reading Surah Al-Mudathir, which contains fifty Ayat, most of which are short and easy to memorize for use in regular prayers. This practice helps me read more easily and enhances my fluency with the Quran itself.

In conclusion, my morning rituals include prayer and reading the Quran, which align with the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him). I engage in these practices to seek supplication and rewards in the hereafter. By performing these actions, I reinforce my belief in the Prophet (peace be upon him) and strive to follow his example. My morning routine has remained unchanged since I began these practices many years ago. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section.
