Impossible what?
The Impossible List is like a bucket list on steroids. The first Impossible List was created by Joel Runyon, and I learned about it by watching one of Thomas Frank's videos.
I liked the idea, so I borrowed it from them.
My impossible list contains goals that would push my personal limits. Although personal, I still would love to share my list with the world to feel more accountable to get stuff on it done!
I might never get to cross off all or even most of the items below, but that's not the point. My goal is to enjoy the process of pursuing all of these aspirational goals!

Spiritual
So this one is quite special.
As a practicing Muslim, it is essential for me to keep growing spiritually as much as I aspire to grow in other facets of life. It's literally my lifeline!
This is a deeply personal section to share, but in the materialistic world we currently live in, I strongly believe that people need to talk more about faith and spirituality.
This is what this section is about.
In Islam, however, one of the most perilous spiritual diseases is called Riyāa, which roughly translates to showing off. In the context of Islam, Riyāa refers to the act of performing worship with any intention other than the pleasure of Allah Almighty. It is a grave sin and is considered a major form of hypocrisy in Islam.
If one isn't careful with what they share about their spiritual journey, they might easily slip into Riyāa territory, which no one wants.
So I am only sharing this section as a form of spreading good and nothing more. I intentionally will not cross any items off of that list since it's between me and Allah, With that said, I am hoping that this list will inspire you to embark on this spiritual journey with me insha'Allah.
I hope you'll keep me in your dua' if it does ♥️
Wake up for Fajr everyday
Read the Qurān everyday
Recite the morning and night dhikr everyday
Become a Hāfiz
Fast on Mondays and Thursdays
Rid my tongue of backbiting and gossiping
Forgive those who have wronged me
Pray for the wellbeing of those who have wronged me
Watch less mindless media and substitute that with meaningful learning
Make lasting sustainable spiritual improvements during Ramadan
Give charitably more often
Make studying Fiqh, Aqeedah, and Tasawwuf a habit
Become as honest as I can with my trivial daily interactions
Have an unshakable tawakkul, especially during hard times
Use less/no foul language to express myself
