“On the one hand, it is said, “A little and regular worship is good,” and on the other hand, it is said, “Do not stay at the same level in worship, but increase it constantly.” Which one is true?

Dear Brother / Sister,

Our model in this regard is the Prophet (pbuh). It is necessary to try to do the acts of worship that have a place in the Sunnah.

Regular worship, even if it is a little, is good in terms of stability; there is no harm in increasing it. However, while increasing it, it is necessary to increase it little by little and preserve stability so that we can do it regularly.

The meaning of “a little” is not that you should not increase it. It is encouraged to “do a little and do it regularly rather than doing a lot and quitting”. The message is not to worship a little, but to worship continuously.
