15 years of this blog

Asalamu’ alaikum,
I received a notification from wordpress that I registered on this site 15 years ago. So much has happened in those 15 years.
Here’s the image.
If I had posted just once every day for those 15 years I would now be on 5,475 posts in this blog. If I had just posted once every week then it would be 780 blogs instead of the 234 I have now. This all just points to the power of consistency, a trait mentioned positively in Islam.
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَرْعَرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَىُّ الأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ قَالَ ” أَدْوَمُهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّ ”. وَقَالَ ” اكْلَفُوا مِنَ الأَعْمَالِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ ”
‘The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked, “What deeds are loved most by Allah?” He said, “The most regular constant deeds even though they may be few.” He added, ‘Don’t take upon yourselves, except the deeds which are within your ability.”
May Allah give this blog the power to help people and make their lives better.
Thank you for reading.
