“In order to be regular with tilawah we need to fix a time for it daily, just like we have fixed times for other things, e.g. breakfast. I remember as a child back in India, how the entire household would complete their tilawah before breakfast, i.e. we had a fixed time for tilawah.
In those days it was not unusual for people to do tilawah even before Fajr. I remember walking to the masjid for Fajr Salah and hearing the sound of tilawah coming from the houses we passed.
A good way of becoming punctual with tilawah is to have a checklist of things that need to be done during the day, and include tilawah in it. Before going to sleep, refer to the checklist to see whether you have done your tilawah.
If you have not then force yourself to do it there and then, before going to sleep. The nafs will try to dissuade you from doing this, but if you stick to it, the nafs will concede defeat and ensure that you do your tilawah on time.”
