أَمْرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهْيُ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ
Enjoining what is good and forbidding what is wrong.
Leave what is wrong, hold on to what is good
A small corner of this site for the deeds that bring us closer to Allah. It starts with a one-week challenge: a printed sheet, a pen, and an honest look at each day before you sleep. More will be added over time.
Why a sheet of paper
Allah describes the believers as people who enjoin what is good and forbid what is wrong, and that work begins with ourselves. The first person each of us answers for is the one in the mirror.
The deeds most beloved to Allah are the ones done consistently, even if they are small. A page you tick every night turns a good intention into a habit, and shows the slips you would otherwise forget.
No one is free of sin. What matters is turning back: Allah loves those who repent, and a good deed that follows a bad one wipes it out. The tracker leaves room for both.
On the Day of Judgement each of us will be handed a record of deeds and told to read it. Keeping a small record now, in our own hand, is one way to prepare for that one.
Let there be among you a group who call to what is good, enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. It is they who will succeed.
Qur’an 3:104
Indeed, Allah loves those who turn to Him in repentance and loves those who purify themselves.
Qur’an 2:222
Good deeds wipe out bad deeds.
Qur’an 11:114
The deeds most beloved to Allah are those done most consistently, even if they are few.
Bukhari 6464, Muslim 782
Follow a bad deed with a good deed; it will wipe it out.
Tirmidhi 1987

The challenge
One week of deeds, on paper
Print the tracker, keep it where you pray or sleep, and each night tick the good deeds you did and mark any slips on the back. On the seventh day, take account: what went well, where you slipped and the good deed that followed, and one Sunnah to add next week. Then start a fresh sheet.
How to take part
- Download the Urdu or English tracker below and print it double-sided on one A4 sheet, flipped on the long edge.
- Write your name and the week, and make the intention: this is for Allah, not for show.
- Each night before sleeping, tick the good deeds of that day on the front and mark the slips on the back. Be honest: an empty box is information, not failure.
- On Friday, add the Friday extras listed at the bottom of the sheet.
- On the seventh day, fill in the weekly account at the bottom of the back page and count your week.
- Start a new sheet the next week. Aim for a consistent week, not a perfect one.
- Give a copy to someone: family, a friend, a class, a mosque. The good they do with it is shared with you.
