I wonder an issue regarding promising to Allah to do something or not to do something. Like, lets say, you are lazy and you dont do much voluntary, nafeel actions. So you feel like, if you promise to Allah and say ''Oo Allah, i promise will read this much Quran for your sake everyday'' (this is just an example, i never said it in my life : ) or maybe in order to stay away from a sin which you have been doing, ''Oo Allah, i promise i will never make this sin again please forgive my previous sins'' etc.
Do you know what i mean ?
So question is, is it something good to make promises like that, so that you would feel stronger to do good deeds or to stay away from harams ?
Or as i remember i read something like, we shouldnt give such promises and there is possibility we might break them somehow because of various reasons, especially by following sheitan just for a moment then our promise would be broken. Then it would be bad
