Morning Reminder. Wednesday 28th/29th day of Dhul Qedah. ARE WE READY FOR DHUL HIJJAH, THE MONTH OF BLESSINGS? Friday (26th September) may be the first day of the Islamic month known as Dhul-Hijjah( The month of Pilgrimage). Our hearts and prayers are with those undertaking the difficult pilgrimage during these days. For those of us who are not performing the Hajj, there are still many ways to make the most of this blessed time! Virtues of the first 10 Days of Dhul-Hijjah. How many times have we heard Surat Al-Fajr recited, be it in our homes, while memorizing, or in the mosque? As a shorter surah, it may be a frequent part of our prayers, but taking the time to reflect on even a part of the first verse reveals a treasure of meaning. In the first two ayahs (verses) of Surat Al-Fajr, Allah says: Walfajir, walayaalil ashr. Meaning “By the dawn; And [by] the ten nights.” (89:1-2). According to scholars of the Qur’an, the days mentioned as significant enough for Allah to swear by them are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. Describing how these ten days are among the best, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “There are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” They said: “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah?” He said: “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah, unless a man goes out himself for jihad taking his wealth with him and does not come back with anything.” [Bukhari, 2/457). Allahu Akbar. Lets be ready to fast all the first 9 days of Dhul Hijjah as recommended or fast as many as we can if cant fast all 9 days. May Allah aid us to be able to fast and do more good deeds. Aameen.
