Sticky Encouragement

Posted under random, salat by rahma

  Via Deenport:

 When I was little, my sister was the queen of sticker collecting.  She had thousands of stickers that she and her friends would spend hours arranging in little books and trading.  I had a sticker collection as well, although I wasn’t as hardcore.  I didn’t really like to trade, so they just sat in their special little sticker books.  I still have all those sticker books, and even now, I’m reluctant to use them.

So the sticker hording child in my delighted when I came across this new Muslim Sticker website this morning.  It’s aimed at parents and teachers, to encourage and teach Islamic behavior, but I’m seriously considering getting some things.  Check out this salat chart.  I already made a chart to track my 40 grand (which is not going so hot, although I think I’m on a roll now inshaAllah), but maybe the little stickers could motivate me more, lol.  Heck, while I’m at it, maybe I should get the Juz al Amma tree to motivate myself to get going on my memorization. 

Alas, I think that in the end, my nafs, my lazy, procrastinating nature will win over my good intentions and I’ll fall into a slump again.  ya Allah, give me the strength and motivation to do what it is that I have to do.
