1
What if learning English could actually become an act of worshiping God?
2
Think about that for a second.
3
What if 20 or 30 minutes you spend learning English every day could benefit you, not only in this life, but also in the next?
4
Welcome back to the English Zone channel.
5
If you're a Muslim learning English, I want you to stop thinking about English as just another skill.
6
Yes, English can help you get a better job.
7
It can help you travel.
8
It can help you communicate with more people.
9
It can help you study, build relationships, and share beneficial knowledge.
10
Yes, but there's something more important than all of that.
11
And even more important than your goal of becoming fluent, your intention.
12
So today I'm going to share 10 simple habits
13
that can help you completely change the way you learn English as a Muslim.
14
And these aren't just English learning tips.
15
They're habits that can help you connect your English journey to your faith, to your purpose, and your relationship with God, Allah.
16
So let's start with the most important one.
17
Start with your intention.
18
Before you watch an English lesson, before you start a class, before you open your book, ask yourself, why am I learning English?
19
Why am I trying to become fluent in English?
20
Really think about it.
21
Is it only for money?
22
Is it only for getting a better job?
23
Or do you want to use English to communicate better, help your family, serve other people,
24
gain beneficial knowledge, or share what you know with others?
25
Because when your intention is sincere and your goal is clear,
26
even studying English can become an act of worship, an act of ibadah.
27
And that's a completely different way of looking at learning a language.
28
You're not just learning English, you're learning a skill that you hope to use for something meaningful.
29
But having the right intention is only the beginning.
30
What do you do when things become difficult?
31
That's where habit number two comes in.
32
Ask Allah for help.
33
Ask God for help and success.
34
Make dua, make a prayer before your study session, before your English class, before you start a difficult lesson.
35
Ask Allah or God for help.
36
Ask him for understanding.
37
Ask him for focus.
38
Ask him for consistency.
39
Ask him for better and sharper memory.
40
And if consistency is difficult, if you have poor routines, ask God to help you become more consistent.
41
Think about how often we make study plans.
42
We buy an app.
43
We download a program.
44
We buy a notebook.
45
We buy a course.
46
We create a schedule.
47
We say, I'm going to study English every day.
48
And then three days later, we stop.
49
So instead of only asking, how can I make a better plan?
50
Ask, have I asked God to help me follow the plan?
51
So ask God for beneficial knowledge, for useful knowledge.
52
Ask him to help you use that knowledge in a beneficial way.
53
And that's one of the reasons I teach English.
54
I've learned things that have benefited me and now I have to share that with you.
55
I want to share those things with other people.
56
So don't underestimate a sincere dua, a sincere prayer.
57
Don't think that's a small thing.
58
It's a big deal.
59
But there's another incredibly simple habit that you can add to every session.
60
Actually, to every good thing that you do in your daily life.
61
Begin with Bismillah in the name of God.
62
That sounds extremely simple, And it is, but it's super powerful.
63
Before you open your notebook, before you open your phone, before you start speaking, before you start your car, before you start your class, say, Bismillah.
64
Say, in the name of God.
65
Why?
66
Because it reminds you that God is a part of your life.
67
You're not doing it for yourself.
68
That's number one.
69
And you're not doing by yourself.
70
You're not alone.
71
You're using the abilities that Allah has given you while asking him for help.
72
And imagine doing this every day.
73
Imagine how many blessings you can bring to your life if you do this every day.
74
Every English lesson begins with Bismillah.
75
Every study session begins with Bismillah.
76
Every time you practice speaking, you remember God.
77
Now, your English journey is not something separate from your life as a Muslim.
78
It's connected to it.
79
But now let's get practical.
80
When should you actually study in order to learn much more quickly?
81
Because you can have the best intentions, but if you're studying when you're exhausted, distracted, and checking your phone every two minutes, you're going to struggle.
82
Study at the best time of day.
83
If possible, try studying in the early hours of the day, especially after morning prayer, after Fajr.
84
There are authentic narrations from our prophet, peace be upon him, about the blessing of the early morning.
85
And for many people, it's one of the quietest times of the day.
86
Everyone else is sleeping.
87
Your phone isn't constantly ringing ding, ding, ding, getting text messages, notifications.
88
You have fewer distractions and your mind is fresh.
89
You don't need three hours.
90
Just try 20 minutes.
91
Listen to something, read something, complete your lesson, practice speaking,
92
review vocabulary, and then you're done because 20 minutes of focused practice is better than two hours of distracted learning, distracted studying.
93
But that brings us to another huge problem for English learners.
94
Because even if you choose the perfect time to study, what happens when your phone starts distracting you?
95
Protect your focus.
96
Protect your attention.
97
One of the biggest enemies of learning these days is distraction.
98
Constant notifications.
99
Constant text messages and sounds coming from your phone.
100
You sit down to study English.
101
You open your book and then ding a notification.
102
You check your phone.
103
You see another message.
104
You open Instagram for just one minute and suddenly 20 minutes are gone.
105
We've all done it.
106
I'm guilty of it.
107
We're all guilty of it.
108
So before your study session, put away your phone or if you need your phone for the lesson, put it on Do Not Disturb so that you can focus,
109
you can protect your attention.
110
Close all the apps that you don't need, turn off notification and give your lesson your 100% attention.
111
Don't just try to study more.
112
Learn to study with focus.
113
But even focused practice is not enough.
114
There's another important hack that determines whether you're actually learning, whether you will actually become fluent.
115
This might be the most important practical habit in this entire video. Be consistent.
116
Because you don't become fluent by studying English once in a while.
117
No, you become fluent through repetition.
118
You become fluent through practice, through consistency.
119
And consistency is already part of our lives as Muslims.
120
We pray five times a day.
121
We don't say, I'm going to pray five times a day this week and next week I'm going to take a break.
122
No, that's not how it works.
123
We build our lives around consistency and routines and small things, right?
124
And you can apply that same practice, that same principle to English learning.
125
You don't need to study for three hours every day.
126
Like I said, start with 30 minutes, but do it consistently every single day.
127
Five words every day becomes hundreds of words over time.
128
One lesson every day becomes an entire course.
129
And a few minutes of speaking every day becomes hours of speaking practice over a year.
130
So remember, consistency is always better than intensity.
131
Don't try to become fluent in one week.
132
Build a routine that you can continue that's doable to follow for one year, for two years.
133
But now here's the question.
134
What should you actually do during those 20 or 30 minutes?
135
Practice with lessons that you will actually use when you go outside.
136
Learn things that you'll actually use in your own daily conversations.
137
If you learn a new word, make a sentence with it.
138
Say it out loud.
139
Write it down.
140
Use it in a conversation.
141
Write it in your journal.
142
And here's something even more powerful.
143
Teach it to someone else.
144
If you learn a new expression today, explain it to your friend.
145
Explain it to your husband or your wife.
146
Explain it to your children.
147
Or share it with us in the comment section below.
148
Because when you use English, it becomes part of your life.
149
And that's exactly what you want.
150
You don't want English to live inside your notebook or in your computer.
151
No, you want English to become something that you actually use.
152
But here's another question.
153
What should you be watching, listening to, or reading?
154
Because not everything you consume, not everything that you study is going to help you.
155
Choose beneficial content.
156
Everything you consume, everything you read, you watch, you listen to affects you.
157
It affects your mind, it affects your heart, it affects your life, it affects your English, and of course, it affects your religion, your faith.
158
So choose content that's good, that benefits you.
159
Listen to beneficial podcasts, Listen to educational lessons.
160
Watch educational videos and read good books.
161
Learn from people who teach you meaningful lessons, something useful.
162
And ideally, choose content that improves your English while also improving you as a person.
163
Because you don't want to spend two hours improving your English while filling your mind with things that are not good, things that are bad, right?
164
Use English as a tool for personal growth, personal development to help you improve your life in general,
165
increase your vocabulary, improve your listening, increase your confidence as a person.
166
And that brings us to number nine, because this is something I especially recommend to Muslim English learners.
167
Read the Quran in English.
168
If you're able to read the Quran in Arabic, that's amazing.
169
And keep doing that.
170
But reading an English translation can also be incredibly beneficial for improving your English.
171
Think about what's happening when you're reading the Quran.
172
You're reading English.
173
You're building vocabulary.
174
You're improving your reading comprehension.
175
You're reflecting on the meaning of the Quran.
176
And the Quran teaches some of the most powerful lessons.
177
It has some of the most powerful stories and life advice that you will not find anywhere else.
178
And now you're combining two things.
179
You're improving your English while strengthening your connection with God, right?
180
Personally, I've learned so much through reading English translations of the Quran, and I do it every single day, even if it's like three to five verses.
181
So don't think that your English learning and your religious learning have to be completely separate.
182
No, they can support and complement each other.
183
They complete each other.
184
Now we've reached habit number 10.
185
This one becomes especially important when you feel like your English is not improving.
186
End with gratitude and trust in Allah.
187
Trust in God.
188
When you finish your lesson, don't immediately close your book and grab your phone.
189
No, don't do that.
190
Pause, say, Alhamdulillah.
191
All praise to God.
192
Thank God for giving you the opportunity to learn.
193
Thank Him for the time that you had to study.
194
Thank him for your ability to read, to listen, to see, to learn.
195
And then trust him with the outcome.
196
Trust him with the result.
197
Because sometimes you're going to study for a month, six months, or a year, and you're going to think, why am I not improving?
198
Why am I not fluent yet?
199
Why isn't my English improving faster.
200
And that's when you need to remember that the result is not in your hand.
201
The result is in God's hand.
202
Your job is to make the effort.
203
Your job is to keep trying every single day because you don't control the outcome.
204
Maybe you have a two-year goal and that's okay, but you don't need to live for and always think about this two-year goal.
205
Your job is to focus on your lesson today and trust God for the outcome tomorrow.
206
Today, learn five words.
207
Today, listen for 20 minutes.
208
Today, speak for 10 minutes.
209
Today, read two pages and then say, Alhamdulillah, thanks to God for this opportunity.
210
And then come back tomorrow because every day you're building something.
211
You're building vocabulary.
212
You're building speaking skills.
213
You're building listening skills.
214
You're building confidence.
215
You're building discipline.
216
You're building things that will always be with you.
217
And you might not see the results immediately, but that doesn't mean nothing is happening.
218
Think about a seed that you plant in the ground.
219
You put it in the ground.
220
You don't come back tomorrow and say, where's the tree?
221
Where's the plant?
222
Where are my fruits?
223
No, you keep watering it.
224
You are patient.
225
You keep taking care of it.
226
And eventually you see what was being built under the surface.
227
You see what was growing underneath.
228
And your English can be like that.
229
So don't underestimate small, consistent actions.
230
Don't underestimate 20 minutes of listening every day.
231
Don't underestimate five words.
232
Don't underestimate reading one page a day.
233
But most importantly, don't underestimate sincere intentions.
234
Because if your intention is good, then you will have God's blessing with you.
235
You will have God's baraka.
236
And with baraka, with blessings, even small actions can have a much bigger impact than you expect.
237
And this is the message or advice that I want you to take from this entire video.
238
Learning English isn't just about speaking another language fluently.
239
It's about becoming someone who can communicate better.
240
It's about someone, someone who can help other people, someone who can share beneficial knowledge, someone who can help their family and their community,
241
someone who can use a new language for something meaningful.
242
So don't ask yourself, how can I become fluent?
243
Ask yourself, what am I going to do with this language when I become fluent?
244
How am I going to help other people when I become confident in English?
245
And maybe that's the question that changes your entire English journey.
246
Let's quickly go through the 10 habits.
247
Number one, start with the right intention.
248
Number two, ask Allah for help and success.
249
Number three, begin with Bismillah.
250
Number four, study at the best time of day.
251
Number five, protect your focus, protect your attention.
252
Number six, be consistent.
253
Number seven, practice what you learn.
254
Number seven, practice with lessons that you can use.
255
Number eight, choose beneficial content.
256
Number nine, read the Quran in English.
257
And number 10, end every study session, every lesson with Alhamdulillah and trust in Allah.
258
Now, I want you to do something very simple.
259
Don't try to start all 10 today.
260
Choose one, just one.
261
Which habit are you going to start today?
262
Tell me in the comments.
263
And if you found this video beneficial.
264
If you like this video, share it with another friend who is learning English.
265
Maybe this video will help them too.
266
Thanks for watching.
267
I'll see you in the next one.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
