- Assalamu Alaykum. In this video i talk about what i believe to be ONE OF if not THE best Self-Improvement habit, especially for Us Muslims and our Deen. And that is Journaling, which can have a pivotal effect of our lives and on our deen if we do it correctly. Seriously, the amount of accountability, Self-reflection (Which is sunnah), And motivation that journaling can bring is amazing, Which is why i think its the best Self Improvement Habit. Of course, its also great for our faith, which many people don't actually talk about.

would this work for digital notes/journaling like on a word document? or does it have to be on physical pieces of paper?
It does work on digital notes akhi, but its much better to do it on paper. This is because if you do it in a journal, you can save your notes and look back on them in the future. This is really good like 2 years in the future, i love looking thorugh my old journals and seeing my old issues and how i overcame them. Of course, you could have a simular experience online, but its just not the same. Bc you can draw pictures, underline text, customise it ect if you do it on paper. Of course, it also means you can do it before sleep, and you wont have the drawback of the blue light from ur screen making ur sleep worse. Also, theres the concept of "Ritualisation", you get into the mood of journaling (Or any other habit) way more when you have to perform certain steps to acheive it (Open journal, get a pen, turn on a lamp) and this just makes it feel so much better and it makes the habit stick more. This is also part of the reason why we make wudu before prayer or quran recitation, it just makes us feel more in the mood for it.
Of course, im aware that the journal in my description is a bit expensive for a journal (Thats because its very high qualiy, which is why its the only journal ive been using for over a year). If you cant afford that, you can buy a journal or a blank book at most stores for quite cheap.
Hope this answers your question akhi. Also, here's a link for a cheaper journal if you want to buy it through amazon while also supporting me:

@@JanRyczkowski JazakAllah Khayran brother for the response
I tried doing it on word doc. And I forgot about it, and now I don't remember where it is saved now. I think physical paper is a must if you are serious about it@@FRareDom
@@FRareDom no worries
Ассалам алейкум брат тебе из центральной азии))))
That's miraculously coincidental that I started journaling as I was listening to your Islamic explanatory videos until I landed here. You have well researched/documented info that I hope the world will eventually come into contact with. Thank you so much for sharing your resources with your fellow man!! Ramadan Mubarak, buddy!
a really good video, jazakallahu khayran. just wanted to say no matter how hard your life would get just know that Allah is the most merciful to His servants :)
Narrated Ibn Mas`ud:
“I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “There is no envy except in two: a person who God has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, and a person whom Allah has given wisdom (ie religious knowledge) and he gives His decisions accordingly and teaches it to the others. "
- Sahih al-Bukhari 1409
I've been journaling for a cuple of months and it is ver helpful and it makes your thoughts visible and tangible which makes you feel less foggy-headed and helps with planing more easily. thank you for this video brother and may Allah reward you for everything you're doing on this channel.
Thank you for the nice comment my friend. May Allah bless you with rewards in this life and in the next for your efforts with journaling.
Well, journaling sounds helpful. Jazak'Allah Khair!
Thank you akhi, keep going.

Great video
Sweet stuff
I started journaling some time ago and stopped doing it for some time too. Hope this will get me back on track!
May Allah bless you with more consistency in your good habits Inshallah
I remember when I used to overthink a lot when I was younger, and that voice in my head would constantly threaten me with all the shit he was gon scream with my mouth I ended up putting him in his place by getting some paper and journaling what he was gon say and threaten to tell everyone on him.
It worked so well, the voice in my head pretty much shut up all the time after that.
Mashallah
Mashallah!
Around 0:51 you talked about introspective journaling which could good for some worldly thing but dont use it for religious one in the sense you get bad thoughts about religion in your mind so dont put it into words or write it down. There is also a hadith about bad thoughts (being said about religion) being forgiven if you dont say it or put it into action.

Bullet journalling works amazingly for me, I highly recommend it for people who are too lazy to journal
I guess bullet journaling seems cool, but its not that flexible. from what ive seen, it seems simular to habit tracking and to do lists, which i used to do, but when i talk about journaling i specifically mean the type where you write about abstract thoughts, and get some cognition done on paper. I will definitely look into bullet journaling more soon Inshallah, it seems interesting
Thabit ibn al-Hajjaj reported: Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “Hold yourselves accountable before you are held accountable and evaluate yourselves before you are evaluated, for the Reckoning will be easier upon you tomorrow if you hold yourselves accountable today.”

Like ik journaling helps a lot by idk why I can't be consistent with it.
try to make it a habit, maybe try it for 15 minutes before bed every day. Even if u don't know what to journal about, just try to write whats on ur mind and u might think of something useful
yessir
ayyyyy :D
Assalamualikum brother
bro the problem with that is that my lawyer told me not to do so 💀
Why not habibi
@@JanRyczkowski he said don't leave evidence 💀
@@naptimusnapolyus1227 I had a schitzoeffective friend a bit ago, they had a diary when they were young and someone found it and put them in the psych ward bc it had concerning stuff in it 💀is that you
@@JanRyczkowski the cops caught me ones💀
not gonna make the same mistake again.
akhi just write "in game" after every entry
Is it really haram to meditate? Like not the budha way of meditation where you say "uhmm" and fold your hands a certain way, but just like sitting on a chair and following a guided breathing. For example medito 5 min daily meditation? I feel like I've gone downhill in my self improvement since I stopped meditating.
Im so sorry brother, i shouldve cleared it up earlier. It is in fact not haram to meditate, as long as you dont do it in the buddhist way (At least according to Dr Shadee Elmasry, with whom i spoke regarding meditation: czcams.com/video/IeKc-zjZ63Q/video.html&pp=ygUZZHIgZWxtYXNyeSBqYW4gcnljemtvd3NraQ%3D%3D)
But also remember, make sure that you pray with khushoo (Mindfulness/focus), as it will have simular or even better benefits than meditation.
But yeah, dont worry about it, you can meditate using medito as long as you make sure you dont imitate the buddhists/hindus. (This means that yoga isnt allowed, and meditating on other gods is also not allowed, as that would be shirk)
As Always Allah knows best. Barakallahufeek
Thank you so much for clearing it up for me brother! Wa Feeka BarakAllah @@JanRyczkowski

Brother make a no fap motivation video
I can see you have a good heart but Islam is not the way brother, dont spread this, Jesus Christ is the only way, the way the truth and the life. He is the only way
proof?
@@JanRyczkowski The new testament
how can god limiting himself and become a human that is dependent on air,food and going to the toilet? Its against god nature and god doesn't change his nature, if god is immortal he cant become mortal if god is all knowing he cant dont know something and when he is all powerful he cant become less powerful, can god lie or die or be unjust? noo because its not his nature, it doesn't suit the majesty,the all mighty,the all perfect so dont come me with he take a human nature it doesn't make sense
Mark 10:18
ESVAnd Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
