In Steps to Allah: A Weekly Journey of Spiritual Growth, every believer walks a unique path toward Allah — but the most beautiful step is simply the one taken with sincerity.
This week’s reminder invites your heart to pause, reflect, and rise.

Qur’anic Verse & Reflection

Verse:
“And remember your Lord much and glorify Him morning and evening.”
(Surah Al-Insan 76:25)

🔗 Source (Qur’an):
Surah Al-Insan – 25 – Quran.com

Reflection:
Allah invites us to remember Him constantly —
with the heart present, not with perfect words.
Scholars say dhikr nourishes the heart the way food nourishes the body.
Even one sincere “SubhanAllah” can brighten your path to Allah.

2️⃣ Prophetic Hadith (Sahih) on Spiritual Growth

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The most beloved deeds to Allah are the most consistent ones, even if they are small.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari)

🔗 Source (Sahih al-Bukhari):
Sahih al-Bukhari 6464 – To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq) – كتاب الرقاق – Sunnah.com – Sayings and Teachings of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم)

This hadith teaches a gentle truth:
Allah values consistency more than size.
A small daily step becomes a mountain on the Day of Judgment.

3️⃣ Islamic Insight (Fiqh-Based)

Question:
Is a small but consistent act better than many irregular acts?

Answer:
Yes. Scholars agree that regularity is superior.
Ibn Hajar explains in Fath al-Bari:

“A little act done consistently is better than a large act done occasionally.”

Even two raka‘ahs, one page of Qur’an, or a short dhikr —
when performed consistently — bring barakah and spiritual growth.
