Establishing a consistent schedule and developing good habits can be an effective way to work towards our goals and achieve our resolutions. By creating a routine, we can allocate dedicated time for our goals and prioritize our commitments. This can help us stay organized and focused, and increase our chances of success.

For example, let's say one of your New Year's resolutions is to read the Quran and share knowledge with others. You can create a routine that includes dedicated time for reading the Quran and preparing to share your knowledge with others. This might involve setting aside time for study and reflection, and making plans to attend events or gatherings where you can share your knowledge.

Creating a routine can also be helpful in achieving other types of goals, such as improving your physical health or building relationships. By establishing consistent habits and behaviors, we can make progress and achieve our goals more effectively.

No one knows when the 12th Imam will return, but let's assume it will be in 2023. If that's the case, then it's important to consider how we should prepare for that eventual day. One way to do this is by setting New Year's resolutions that align with the values and principles of Ahl-e-Bait (AS).

But what type of resolutions should we set? Here are a few suggestions:

1. Work actively for the cause of Ahl-e-Bait (AS): This could involve volunteering your time and resources to support organizations or causes that align with the values and principles of Ahl-e-Bait (AS). This could include supporting social justice initiatives, promoting education and knowledge, or working to build community and support for marginalized groups.

2. Share the facts about what happened to Syeda Fatima Zehra: Syeda Fatima Zehra was the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and a central figure in Islam. By sharing the facts about her life and the role she played in the early history of Islam, we can help educate others and promote a deeper understanding of the faith.

3. Discuss the freedom of Hijaz: Hijaz is a region in western Saudi Arabia that is home to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. By advocating for the freedom of Hijaz and speaking out against any injustices or violations of human rights in the region, we can promote a message of peace and justice.

4. Highlight what happened after the death of the Prophet and where the true Islam is: The death of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) marked a significant turning point in the history of Islam. By sharing the facts about what happened after his death and highlighting the true teachings of Islam, we can help counter misinformation and promote a deeper understanding of the faith.

If we choose to set New Year's resolutions that align with the values and principles of Ahl-e-Bait (AS), it's important to dedicate time and effort to making a difference. This doesn't have to be a big commitment - we can choose one or two platforms and share our knowledge and insights. In order to do this effectively, we'll need to educate ourselves and learn more about the issues and causes we care about.

No one really knows when the 12th Imam will come, but we should always be ready for that day. Even if we die before his re-appearance, at least we can say that we tried to do our part and make a positive impact in the world. By setting meaningful resolutions and working towards them with dedication and perseverance, we can contribute to a better world and prepare for the eventual return of the 12th Imam.

1. Lack of motivation: It's easy to lose motivation when things get tough or we're not making progress as quickly as we'd like. To overcome this challenge, it can be helpful to remind ourselves of the purpose and meaning behind our goals and to seek motivation from within and from our faith. We can also try to break our goals into smaller tasks, set small milestones, and celebrate our progress.

2. Lack of support: Another common challenge is feeling like we're going it alone or not having the support we need to achieve our goals. In Islam, the importance of community and support is emphasized, and seeking help and guidance from others can be an important part of the process. We can reach out to friends, family, or members of the community for help and guidance, and also seek support from our faith and from Allah (SWT).

3. Setbacks and failures: It's normal to encounter setbacks and failures along the way, but it's important to not let these setbacks define us or discourage us from continuing. In Islam, the emphasis on patience and perseverance can be helpful in overcoming setbacks. We can remind ourselves that Allah (SWT) tests us in order to strengthen our faith and character and that every challenge is an opportunity for growth and improvement.

1. Choose specific and achievable goals: It's important to set specific and achievable goals, rather than vague or overly ambitious ones. This will help you stay focused and motivated, and increase your chances of success. For example, instead of setting a goal to "exercise more," set a specific goal such as "exercise for 30 minutes three times a week."

2. Make a plan and set small milestones: Once you have identified your goals, it's important to make a plan and set small milestones to help you stay on track. This can be as simple as breaking your goal down into smaller tasks and setting deadlines for each one. For example, if your goal is to learn a new skill, you could set a milestone to complete a certain number of lessons per week or month.

3. Seek support and accountability: It can be helpful to seek support and accountability from friends, family, and the community as you work towards your goals. This can provide motivation and encouragement, and help you stay on track. In Islam, the emphasis on community and support is an important aspect of self-improvement and personal growth.

4. Allocate time to work towards your goals: Time management is an important aspect of achieving your goals. Make sure to set aside dedicated time to work towards your goals, and try to be consistent in your efforts. The Prophet (peace be upon him) and the Ahl-e-Bait (AS) were known for their dedication and hard work, and their examples can serve as a source of inspiration for us.

Podcast 1: New Year’s Resolution - Introduction

Hello and welcome to the new year! As we begin this fresh start, it's important to take the time to reflect on the past and set goals for the future. Setting goals is a crucial aspect of personal growth and development, and it's especially important in Islam. Our faith emphasizes the importance of striving for excellence and continuously working on improving ourselves.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the Ahl-e-Bait (AS) are excellent examples of the importance of setting and working towards goals. The Prophet (peace be upon him) consistently sought to better himself and inspire others to do the same, and the Ahl-e-Bait (AS) were known for their wisdom, strength, and commitment to justice and righteousness.

As we enter the new year, let us be inspired by the examples of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the Ahl-e-Bait (AS) and make a commitment to improving ourselves and working towards our goals. Whether it's learning a new skill, getting in shape, or making a positive impact on our communities, let's make the most of this opportunity to grow and thrive.

Let's set specific and achievable goals and make a plan to achieve them, guided by the principles of Islam and the teachings of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the Ahl-e-Bait (AS). So, the new year is a time of renewal and a chance to start fresh, and with the help of Islam, we can make it a year of personal growth and accomplishment.

Thanks for joining us today. May this new year be filled with blessings, growth, and success for all of us. Until next time where will discuss the benefits of making a new Year’s resolution, peace be upon you.

Tawakkul, or reliance on God, is a fundamental concept in Islam that emphasizes trust in God's will and guidance in all aspects of life. This principle can be particularly relevant when it comes to setting and achieving New Year's resolutions.

When setting resolutions, it's important to remember that ultimately, it is God who determines what will come to pass. While we should make our best effort to achieve our goals, we must also recognize that we are not in control of the outcome. This can help us to release any unrealistic expectations or undue stress related to achieving our resolutions.

Tawakkul also reminds us that success is not only measured by the attainment of our goals, but by the effort and sincerity we put into them. In the Islamic tradition, it is believed that it is the effort and intention behind an action that is most important in the eyes of God. Therefore, even if we don't achieve our resolution, as long as we have put in the effort and have the right intentions, we have succeeded in the eyes of God.

At the same time, tawakkul should not be used as an excuse for laziness or lack of action. Instead, it should be used as a reminder that we must put in the effort and take action towards our goals, while also recognizing that the ultimate outcome is in God's hands.

Tawakkul also encourages us to turn to God for guidance and assistance in achieving our resolutions. By making consistent supplications (dua), and asking God for help, we can receive guidance and strength to overcome the obstacles that we may face in the pursuit of our goals. This will also increase our faith and trust in God, which in turn will help us to remain motivated and focused throughout the year.

In conclusion, the principle of tawakkul in Islam can provide a useful framework for approaching New Year's resolutions. It emphasizes the importance of effort, intention and reliance on God, which can help us to set realistic goals, maintain perspective and stay motivated throughout the year. As we set our New Year's resolutions, let us remember to put in the effort and have the right intentions while also relying on God's help and guidance.
