Should we celebrate each other's milestones in worship, such as finishing a course or a first Ramadan?

Celebrating your spouse's spiritual achievements nourishes their spirit and makes worship something to look forward to, not a burden. Give sincere congratulations when your spouse completes a religious course, finishes reading the Quran, or stays steady with a new practice. Tokens of appreciation need not be lavish; a word of praise or a favourite dish already means a lot. Avoid a tone that compares or mocks achievements that are not yet equal. Pray that the deed is accepted and lasts. By celebrating each other, the home becomes a place that encourages good. Start by mentioning one thing you admire about your spouse's worship today. See everyday adab.
