Daily Sunnah Practices Every Muslim Should Know
Daily Sunnah Practices Every Muslim Should Know
Living a life inspired by the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is one of the most rewarding ways to strengthen your connection with Allah ﷻ. The Sunnah isn’t limited to grand gestures—it’s a lifestyle. By incorporating simple prophetic habits into your daily routine, you gain both spiritual reward and worldly benefit.
In this blog, we’ll explore daily Sunnah practices every Muslim should know, with practical tips and links to helpful products from Almanaar Islamic Store—including miswak, non-alcoholic perfumes, and tasbih counters—to make following the Sunnah easier and more meaningful.
🌿 1. Using the Miswak
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Were it not for the hardship on my Ummah, I would have commanded them to use the miswak for every prayer.”
(Sahih Bukhari)
Miswak is a prophetic Sunnah that promotes both spiritual and physical cleanliness. It's an eco-friendly, natural tooth-cleaning stick that keeps the mouth fresh and earns reward when used with intention.
🕊 2. Saying “Bismillah” Before Every Task
The Prophet ﷺ would begin every action—eating, leaving the house, putting on clothes—with Bismillah. This practice invites barakah and Allah’s protection into our daily life.
💡 Tip: Place a small wall sticker or reminder in key areas (kitchen, wardrobe) to help form this habit.
🌼 3. Wearing Non-Alcoholic Perfume
Fragrance was beloved to the Prophet ﷺ. He said:
“Perfume and women have been made dear to me, and my comfort has been provided in prayer.”
(Sunan An-Nasa’i)
Wearing perfume is a Sunnah for both men and women—especially before Jumu'ah and after wudu. Choose from our collection of non-alcoholic attars and Lattafa fragrances to follow this Sunnah beautifully.
📿 4. Engaging in Dhikr with Tasbih Beads
Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) purifies the heart and brings tranquility to the soul. Use a tasbih or digital counter after Salah to recite:
-
SubhanAllah (33x)
-
Alhamdulillah (33x)
-
Allahu Akbar (34x)
This simple routine, known as the Tasbeeh Fatimah, is a beautiful daily Sunnah.
🏡 5. Greeting Others with Salaam
The Prophet ﷺ encouraged Muslims to spread peace through greetings.
“You will not enter Paradise until you believe... and spread salaam among yourselves.”
(Sahih Muslim)
Saying “Assalamu Alaikum” sincerely fosters unity, love, and blessings.
💡 Tip: Start by saying salaam to your family members first thing in the morning.
🧼 6. Practising the Sunnah of Wudu
Performing wudu not only purifies the body but also washes away sins. The Prophet ﷺ would perform ablution with mindfulness, and often made du’a after completion.
💡 Bonus: Try to stay in a state of wudu throughout the day for increased barakah.
🛏 7. Sunnah of Sleeping
Before sleeping, follow the prophetic routine:
-
Make wudu
-
Recite Ayat al-Kursi
-
Sleep on your right side
-
Say du’as from the Sunnah (e.g. “Bismika Allahumma amutu wa ahya”)
Use this bedtime as a moment to reconnect and reflect.
📚 8. Reading Qur’an Daily
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The best of you are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it.”
(Sahih Bukhari)
Even if just a few verses, reciting Qur’an daily softens the heart and keeps the tongue connected to the words of Allah.
☀️ 9. Morning and Evening Adhkar
The Prophet ﷺ never neglected his morning and evening remembrances, which act as a shield against harm and evil.
💡 Tip: Keep a du’a book nearby or download an app to make them easy to follow.
🌙 10. Praying Sunnah Prayers
Aside from the five obligatory prayers, the Prophet ﷺ consistently prayed:
-
2 rak’ahs before Fajr
-
4 before Dhuhr & 2 after
-
2 after Maghrib
-
2 after Isha
These voluntary prayers bring immense reward and draw one closer to Allah.
💬 Following the Sunnah with Intention
Every Sunnah act becomes an opportunity for reward when performed with the intention of following the Prophet ﷺ. Whether you're brushing your teeth with miswak or offering a simple smile, it all counts.
