If a person does acts of worship in a specific number only for the sake of organizing himself is it still bid’ah?  Examples: I will memorize 5 ayaat after every salah, I will make dua for seeking knowledge 100 times. etc.  There is no special value in these numbers. It is only for the purpose of organization. | Sheikh Assim Al Hakeem

ANSWER:

One should not limit it to a specific number as if it is sunnah. Memorizing five ayah is ok.

The hadith that says that reciting Surah Baqarah makes the devil run away, does reciting ayatal kursi and last two ayat of Baqarah fall under that? or does one need to recite the entire surah baqarah everyday?

Next

Which among the two dhirk is More rewardable for me to be reciting more, because I saw a Hadith the prophet said saying lailahaillallah wahdahu lasharikalahu lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wahuwa ala kulli shayin qadir is the best dhirk that he and the prophets before him said, also reciting it 100 times a day nobody does anything better except he who says more. AND saying subhanallah walhamdulillah walailahaillallah wallahuAkbar is better than anything the sun shines over.
