What are the recommended acts of worship a Muslim can occupy their time with during Ramadan when experiencing a dip in their commitment to prayer and reading the Quran?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The diversity of acts of obedience is a blessing and a mercy from Allah Almighty. If a servant becomes weary of one type of worship, they can engage in another, such as dhikr (remembrance of Allah), seeking beneficial knowledge, or permissible activities that strengthen one for obedience. The variety of acts of worship leads to the presence of the heart, makes it easier for the servant, and increases their praise of Allah. Among the adhkar that can occupy one's time are: "Subhanallah wa bihamdihi, Subhanallahil Azeem" (Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him, Glory be to Allah the Almighty), and "Subhanallah, walhamdulillah, wa la ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar" (Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest), and sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace be upon him, and reading, listening to, or watching that which benefits one in matters of religion or worldly affairs.
