What's YOUR nightly routine?

Bismillah.

Assalam & Greetings!

Do YOU have a nightly routine before going to sleep? If you still haven't come up with one or started practising any, here's a very feasible suggestion~! It takes at most 10 minutes to do it. (and I testify this bit of information. Also, this goes to say that it is very very practical even for overly intense busy students or working people, inshaAllah~!)

Please refer to footnotes for those with asterisks *

And here's the magic recipe:

al ikhlas

al falaq

an nas

ayat kursi (*)

last 10 verses of ali imran (3rd surah)

and then subhanAllah 33x, alhamdulillah 33x, & Allahu akbar 34x

GREAT OPTIONAL ADD-ONS:

- last 2 verses of Surah Al-Baqarah i.e. 285 and 286 (**)

- recite al- ikhlas 10 times in the morning and evening (***)

P/s: For those who think this is too much or sort of overwhelming, I guess just reciting the last 2 verses of 2nd Surah suffice since that is what's mentioned. See (**). (But try this out before concluding it's difficult. Hmm, if it makes you feel any better; I can do it, so trust me, everyone else can too, iA.)

WAllahua'lam.

subhanAllah, looks amazingly beautiful~! =)

The greater the struggle, the more glorious the triumph.

(*) Al-Baqarah verse 255. Whoever reads this when he lies down to sleep will have a guardian from Allah remain w him and Satan will not be able to come near him until he rises in the morn. (Al-Bukhari)

(**) These 2 verses will be sufficient for anyone who recites them at night before sleeping. (Al-Bukhari)

(***) The Prophet (SAW) said: Who recites blessings upon me 10x in the morn and 10x in the evening will obtain my intercession on the Day of Resurrection. (At-Tabarani)
