I went to sleep at 2:00 a.m. and woke up at 6:30 a.m. I offered my prayers, recited the Holy Quran, and also prayed Ishraq. By 8:35 a.m., after getting ready, I picked up nephew and played with them. I opened the community platform, where the members from whom I had previously taken guidance shared very helpful tips.
At 8:50 a.m., I started my first task by watching a video in the community and making notes from it. Around 10:00 a.m., I started feeling very sleepy because everyone around me had prayed and gone to sleep. From 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., I also slept, even though I tried to control my sleep, but I couldn’t.
By 1:15 p.m., I had breakfast and planned the rest of my day. I decided to offer my prayers, do some book reading, and watch the next content writing video. I offered Dhuhr prayer at 1:45 p.m. At 2:00 p.m., guests arrived, which delayed my next task.
At 3:10 p.m., I offered Asr prayer and then went with my father and sister to my university’s Regional Office. We asked the concerned officer about the merit-based scholarship for students with 80% marks and how to submit the online form through LMS. We returned by 3:45 p.m., after which I taught my tuition students.
I offered Maghrib prayer on time around 5:30 p.m., and by 7:00 p.m. the students had left. After having dinner, I offered Isha prayer and recited a night surah. I spent some time having tea with my family and then tried to apply for the PSDF skills program. Unfortunately, due to a very slow internet connection, the application could not be submitted. I asked my friend to apply as well since it is a good program, but it did not work for them either. Because there was no electricity, I decided to write my journal instead. InshaAllah, I will watch the next video later.

Reflection:
