The life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is a perfect model of simplicity, discipline, kindness, and faith. As Muslims, we try to follow his Sunnah — his way of life — not just out of love, but because it brings us closer to Allah ﷻ and adds barakah (blessing) to our everyday moments.
Whether you’re a busy parent or a student trying to improve your deen, here are simple, daily Sunnah practices you can easily add to your routine — and teach your kids too!
The Prophet ﷺ taught us to wake up with a heart full of thanks. The first thing he would say upon waking was:
“الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ”
Translation: All praise is for Allah who gave us life after causing us to die, and to Him is the return.
This short dua sets a positive tone for the day — full of gratitude and purpose.
Before eating, writing, driving, or even opening your phone — say بِسْمِ اللهِ (Bismillah). This simple habit invites Allah’s blessings into whatever you do and helps you stay mindful.
The Prophet ﷺ encouraged us to eat with the right hand, while sitting down. He would say:
“كُلْ بِيَمِينِكَ وَكُلْ مِمَّا يَلِيكَ”
Translation: Eat with your right hand and eat what is in front of you.
(Sahih Bukhari)
Teaching this to your kids builds good manners and a deeper sense of following the Prophet ﷺ.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“مَن كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ”
Translation: Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent.
(Sahih Bukhari)
This Sunnah protects us from gossip, negativity, and hurting others with our words.
The Prophet ﷺ used to sleep on his right side and say this beautiful dua:
“بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا”
Translation: In Your name, O Allah, I die and I live.
Ending the day with this habit brings peace to your heart and reminds you of your connection with your Creator.
Let your children practice one Sunnah at a time. Maybe after dinner, ask them which Sunnah they followed that day. You can even create a small Sunnah Tracker together!
Want a fun and structured way for your kids to learn the Sunnah and Islamic manners?
You don’t need to change everything overnight. The Prophet ﷺ said:
“أَحَبُّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَدْوَمُهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّ”
The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are consistent, even if they are few.
(Sahih Bukhari)
Start with one Sunnah today — and let it grow from there.
