IBADAH CHALLENGE PROGRAM
Good Tree's 40-Day Ibadah Challenge Program is a challenge to help develop your connection and worship to Allah. The program offers three areas of challenges: Core, which a participant would complete first, Sustenance, which provides a daily spiritual nourishment, and Expansion, where a participant practices adding daily sunnah prayers. A beginner might work to perfect praying on time and 5 times a day, while a sustenance member may also be challenged to read the Quran daily and pray on time.
Registration for the next Ibadah Challenge closes on August 14, with the challenge officially beginning on August 17, 2026.
We also connect you with a group of sisters or brothers to check in daily. Join weekly calls, celebrate accomplishments, share struggles, and learn from each other. The Ibaadah Program is a welcoming and judgment-free space, where everyone works towards achieving their personal worship goal. The program welcomes people of all ages, ethnic and demographic backgrounds, and different walks of life.

Participants will choose which Ibada [worship] habit to work on over the span of 40 days. Participants must complete the core level before moving onto the other levels. All other Ibada habits can be mastered in any order but it is recommended to begin with Core then move to Sustenance and finish with Expansion, but it is not mandatory once Core is complete. Start by picking one habit to work on and not more unless given an exception by the Ibada mentor. Every week there will be a group call to talk about successes and challenges and is a place where participants can gain support.

"The Good Tree Ibada Program has been a great resource of accountability and support in helping myself to increase my worship, where I would’ve just not even addressed it if I had to do it on my own. A very important point to note is that it isn’t about being perfect, we’re all human. The important point is that we are trying, that we are striving to improve ourselves and to get closer to Allah. Just striving is success in Allah’s eyes. Having a challenge and support from a community striving together has allowed me to be more present, more grateful and has elevated my spiritual connection. In fact, I have noticed that when I am involved in these challenges, the quality of my life improves, my productivity at work improves, and my relationships improve. I highly encourage everyone to participate in one way or another. We all have ways that we can improve our Ibadah, and this program is an amazing way to keep engaged."
