so a lot of the times we look through

the internet and we try our best to find

what is the number one routine that we

can follow to become very productive and

successful in this world and a lot of us

look up to David Goggins and Andrew

huberman and we try to follow their

routine to the tea they don't know me

son so I've took a lot of time and

researched what is the routine of our

beloved Prophet Muhammad sallallahu

alaihi wasallam and I've decided to make

an exact replica of his routine and I

plan to follow it for the whole day so

without further Ado I'll be taking you

guys with me on a step-by-step routine

of the Prophet s Ali

[Music]

wasallam so the first thing the prophet

Sall alaihi wasallam did is whenever he

would wake up he would start by wiping

off the effects of sleep from the face

and he would also make the following

Dua and this translates to thank Allah

for bringing us back to life after

killing us and to him we shall return

then he would head to the restroom and

he would make sure to enter with his

left foot and the beautiful thing about

our religion is we find that even in the

most minute things there's always a Dua

to say so if whether you guessed it or

not there is a Dua that you must say as

you enter the restroom and that Dua

is oh Allah I seek Refuge from Evil and

the evildoers and then he would go ahead

and perform woodo now for those of you

guys who don't know or for those of you

guys who aren't Muslims woodoo is

basically basically a source of ablution

it is something that Muslims must do

before prayer and that is to make sure

that we are clean so whenever we stand

before our creator we're standing with

not only good intentions but we also

want our bodies to be clean as well so

just like I said earlier there's a Dua

for after every single thing and the Dua

after making

is I bear witness that there is no God

but Allah and that Muhammad s Ali

wasallam is the final messenger and

whenever s Ali wasallam would leave the

restroom he would exit with his right

foot and he would say which translates

in English to forgive me and anyways

right now it is the time for so the

prophet sallu alai wasallam he would not

wake up and pray F he would also wake up

a little bit before F and do what's

called the tah prayer now there's a lot

of benefits to T prayer and tud

basically translates to the last third

of the night and this special part of

the night is really where miracles

happen this is the time where if you are

in dire need of a Dua to being answered

go ahead and wake up for this time and

see how quickly your life will change

and how the duas will get answered

inshallah so now it's time to get ready

for f prayer so whenever we're putting

our clean clothes we should say which

translates to in the name of God and

then whenever we're putting our clothes

on there's also another Dua that we can

say and this

Dua and it's really best if you can try

your best to catch F prayer in the

Masjid so F prayer actually at my local

Masjid is now around around 4:30 a.m. in

the Masjid so ever since I moved up to

the northan is at 4:00 a.m. and then

they pray around 4:30 and thenan is

around 10:40 and they pray at the Masjid

around 11:00 p.m. so as you can see it's

not that much sleep and I'm going to be

trying my best to catch this and pray at

the Masjid but if not there's going to

be a clip of me praying it inshallah at

the house but also always try your best

to strive to pray these at the Masjid

there's also a very important Hadith

regarding the two of before F prayer the

prophet s wasallam says that two of are

better than this world and all it

contains so the prophet sallam would

pray Sunnah prayers in addition to the

five F prayers the prophet also said

whoever prays 12 in a day and night a

house will be built for him in Paradise

four before two after it two after two

after and two before so try your best to

strive to pray these sunnas because

their rewards for them are not only for

rewards in this life but the rewards

will benefit you greatly in the

afterlife so now we're in the car and it

is time to head to F prayer now the

prophet wasallam would make a traveler's

prayers and this Dua is as

follows and inshallah I'll be having the

transliteration and the translation down

below so now that we've entered the

Masjid there's a proper Dua that we

should make and that is we step into the

Masjid with our right foot and we say

oh Allah open the gates of Mercy for us

so now we will go ahead and pray the two

of F and then we'll go with the J prayer

and pray F inshallah so now that we've

we're done with f prayer we're going to

go ahead and exit the Masjid with our

left leg and we will

say oh Allah I ask you from your

blessings in abundance and it's very

important at this time to make the

morning AAR so the morning AAR are a

list of duas that the prophet wasallam

would say every single sing morning all

right so now we've got home after fure

prayer and it's time to make some

breakfast and get ready for school one

thing the prophet s wasallam loved is

using his miswak and he would frequently

use this throughout the day especially

before every Salah if you take care of

your teeth you'll also be taking care of

your whole body so one of the things

that the prophet wasam really really

loved to eat in the mornings was honey

and dates those are the two things that

he really really enjoyed eating now the

type of dates that the prophet Sall

wasallam really really loved were called

the AA dates and you can find these in

Med the prophet also said a family which

has dates will not be hungry so for

these reasons I try my best to start my

mornings by eating dates and honey I

don't have a very fancy breakfast where

I eat a lot of carbs and a lot of

protein I try my best to just keep it

simple and follow the Hadith of the

prophet wasallam and this is when I

found to have the most energy so some of

the hadiths and sunnas that come with

the food is of course eating with your

right hand and drinking with your right

hand thei for eating is

and then if you forget to say the Dua

before eating there's another Dua you

can say which

is in the name of God in the beginning

and in the end another sunna of eating

is to make sure that you are sitting

down while you eat and whenever you're

drinking water you don't want to just

chug down the whole water bottle or

drink it all in one or two sips you want

to go ahead and try your best to drink

it in three sips as the Sunnah is and

then one of the sunnas would also be to

licking your fingers after you eat and

then saying alhamdulillah or you could

also say alhamdulillah

praise be to Allah for blessing me with

this food so now it's time for D prayer

and D prayer is a prayer that is found

around the middle of the daytime before

time and it is a prayer in which you're

kind of showing gratitude to Allah

subhana t for everything that he's

blessed you with and this is a prayer

that the prophet Salli wasallam tried

his best to never miss so after this

prayer the prophet would tend to his

family matters he would visit the sick

he would check up on people check up on

his neighbor and try his best to do

beautiful things I'm currently a student

so I will be kind of showing sh you guys

what my day today looks like in clinic

and alhamdulillah I'm able to follow

this Sunnah because I'm a caretaker of

people and as a dental student I

frequently treating people who come in

with diseases that affect their teeth so

alhamdulillah we just finished clinic

for the day and it is about 1:00 p.m.

I'm going to continue this good streak

of doing good and I'm going to go ahead

and take care of my body and my physical

strength and I'm going to be taking you

guys with me to the gym now some of the

things that motivate me to working out

are is the following Hadith Allah's

messenger subhana tala said a strong

believer is better and is more lovable

to Allah than a weak believer and there

is good in everyone the prophet also

said your body has a right over you

which means that you should not treat

your body as it's something that is just

there and you kind of can do whatever

you want to you have to take care of the

body that Allah subh blessed you with so

try your best to stay active stay fit go

to the gym you don't have to go every

single day cuz that's actually

detrimental for you just try your best

to find a routine that works for you

guys and allows you to become physically

fit so there's actually an interesting

story in which one time saw a fat person

and he walked up to his big belly and he

pointed at it and he said what is that

the man replied it is a blessing from

Allah in which Omar replied it is a

punishment from Allah this kind of shows

the sahabas put an emphasis on Being Fit

they used to ride horses they used to be

very experienced in archery and

horseback riding and they were very

prominent in wrestling so Being Fit is

something they put as a top priority and

it's something that we should all strive

to do in our daily lives so following

this whole aspect of staying fit I also

want to implement the Hadith of the one

where we just mentioned how a strong

believer is better to Allah subhana than

a weak believer so I'm going to go train

some kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu as well

after my gym session so right now it is

after my gym session and it is time for

D prayer I'm going to go ahead and pray

try my best to pray the Sun and then

head over to kickboxing and J training

inshallah so right now we just finished

our kickboxing training it is time for

ass prayer we're going to pray and then

get ready for GC training so now

alhamdulillah we just finished finish

our jji training it is time to pray M go

home run some errands eat some dinner

and then inshallah do some studying and

then head over to

prayer so alhamdulillah it's now time to

wind down and get ready for bed so here

are some of the night sunas that the

prophet sallam used to do so before even

going to bed the prophet wasam would

always make wo before heading into bed

so now it is time to go to bed and

there's a very specific Sunnah that the

prophet Salli wasallam would do whenever

he entered his bed the messenger of

Allah subhana T said when any one of you

goes to bed he should dust off the bed

with the inner part of his lower garment

for he does not know what might have

come into it after he left and then it

now it is time to say a before going to

sleep the messenger of Allahu Al

wasallam said when you lie down in your

bed recite until the end of the verse

you will have a protector from Allah and

no devil will come near you until

morning and this if you follow this

routine you will be guaranteed success

in this world and the next I hope you

guys enjoyed this video and I'll see you

guys next time inshallah and
