Fasting Mondays and Thursday

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:

"Actions are presented on Mondays and Thursdays, so I like my actions to be presented while I am fasting."

{At-Tirmidhi}

In trying to add as many Sunnahs as we can to our lives, why don't we begin with this easy one: fasting on Mondays and Thursdays? Just think, there's only one action that you can be getting reward for during the entire day without having to do too much extra work for. Regardless of what other deeds you are doing (even if you're in the bathroom or going to work), you are in a constant state of Ibaadah when you're fasting--all day!!!

If you yourself cannot fast, encourage someone else to fast, and Inshallah YOU'll get the reward of their fasting if they follow what you advise them, and they fast.

Give your excuses a black-eye, fast tomorrow. You'll reap the benefits Inshallah.

Thanks for the reminder Samiyah :)
