‏مواسم الخير ومنها (عشر ذي الحجة) مع كونها مواسم العمل للصالح؛ هي كذلك مجال لتذكير النفس بالعفو، وإذهاب كيد الشيطان من النفوس.
‏فإن القلوب في هذه المواسم مهيأة لذلك، فلا يغلبنكم الشيطان على أمر العفو
‏فاعفو
‏واصفحو
‏وتناسوا الخلافات
‏والغوا المسافات التي أحدثها الشيطان
‏واطلبوا الأجر من العفوّ الكريم سبحانه
‏تطمئن نفوسكم
‏وتنشرح صدوركم
‏وتنعموا براحة بالكم.

Do not forget the deceased from your supplications.
We lost them, and they were a joy in our lives, such as:
A merciful father,
An honourable mother,
A just ruler,
A beneficial scholar,
An honest brother,
A righteous husband,
A kind wife,
A loyal neighbor,
and a virtuous relative

O Allah, make their graves among the gardens of Paradise,
and accept them with the best of what you accept the righteous from amongst the humans with.

The Day of Arafah: The Best Day for Supplication (Dua)

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh (may the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you).

The Day of Arafah, the 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah, is one of the most special days in Islam. It is very important, especially for those on the Hajj pilgrimage, as they spend the day in prayer at the plain of Arafah. Even for those not on Hajj, it is a day full of blessings and opportunities to make supplications (duas).

The Significance of the Day of Arafah

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

"There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of Arafah. He comes close and expresses His pride to the angels, saying, 'What do these people want?'"
(Sahih Muslim 1348)

He also said:
"The best supplication is the supplication on the Day of Arafah, and the best that I and the prophets before me said is:

‎'لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ'

(La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadeer.)

There is no god which has the right to be worshipped but Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things powerful."
(Muwatta Malik, Book 15, Hadith 9)

Therefore, Muslims should increase in this supplication on the Day of Arafah.

Fasting on the Day of Arafah

For those not on Hajj, it is very good to fast on the Day of Arafah. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

"Fasting the day of Arafah removes the sins of two years: the past one and the coming one."
(Sahih Muslim 1162)

The Day of Arafah is an important day for supplication, seeking nearness to Allah, and seeking His forgiveness. Whether one is at Arafah or not, Muslims around the world can take advantage of this blessed day by making sincere duas, engaging in the remembrance of Allah, and fasting.

May Allah accept our prayers and supplications on this blessed day and grant us His mercy and forgiveness. Aameen. Wasalaam.

Seize the Final Moments of Maximising Worship in the Last Hour of Dhul Hijjah.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family, his companions, and those who follow him. As for what follows:

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said,

"Indeed, deeds are judged by their endings" (narrated by Bukhari).

My dear brothers and sisters in faith, we are now in the final hour of the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, which are blessed days where rewards are multiplied, and blessings are abundant.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days," referring to the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah (narrated by Bukhari).

Allah says, "By the dawn, and by the ten nights" (Al-Fajr: 1-2).

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) explained that these ten nights refer to the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. Furthermore the scholars have also explained that Allah only swears by something great, so this no doubt shows us the significance of these days.

Therefore we should seize these blessed moments by increasing our acts of worship, such as seeking forgiveness, dhikr, remembrance of Allah, recitation of the Quran, supplication, and charity. Let us use these last hours to draw closer to Allah, repent, and seek forgiveness, for these might be the good deeds that Allah accepts from us and raises our ranks.

We ask Allah to accept our good deeds and yours, and to make us among those who are accepted and forgiven. Let us strive in this remaining hour, for they might be the blessed conclusion of these days for us.

Wa sallallahu wa sallama wa baraka 'ala nabiyyina Muhammad wa 'ala alihi wa sahbihi ajma'in.

Wasalaam.

🌟 The Days of Tashreeq are Days for Eating, Drinking, and Remembering Allah 🌟

‎Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

The Days of Tashreeq are the three days following Eid al-Adha (the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah).

These are special days in Islam which are dedicated to the remembrance of Allah, as well as enjoying the blessings of food and drink. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The days of Tashreeq are days of eating, drinking, and remembering Allah." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 1141)

Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) said in His Book:

‎وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَعْدُودَاتٍ

"And remember Allah during the appointed days." [Surah Al-Baqarah, 203]

Imam al-Qurtubi (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in his Tafsir (explantion) of this verse:

"The appointed days refer to the days of Tashreeq, which are the three days after the Day of Sacrifice (the day of Eid). The scholars are in agreement about this."

Fasting During the Days of Tashreeq:
It is not allowed to fast during the days of Tashreeq expect for an obligatory fast. It was narrated by Ibn Umar and Aisha (may Allah be pleased with them): "It was not permitted to fast during the days of Tashreeq except for those (pilgrims on Hajj) who could not find a sacrificial animal." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Fasting (Kitab as-Siyam), Hadith 1997)

So the exception is for the pilgrim on Hajj who cannot find a sacrificial animal. Some scholars also held that the missed days of Ramadan can also be fasted, using this narration as an analogy. It was also mentioned other obligatory fasts, such as expiations are included too.

However in order to avoid an area of scholarly differing, it would be better to partake in and enjoy the blessings of food and drink with one’s family and the Muslims, since these days are for eating and drinking and are an extension of eid. It was narrated from Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"Indeed, the Day of Arafah, the Day of Sacrifice, and the Days of Tashreeq are our Eid (festivals), we the people of Islam, and they are days of eating and drinking."

(Sunan an-Nasa'i, Hadith 3004, Classified as Hasan)

Gratitude and a Great Reward:
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) also taught that the one who eats and is grateful has a similar reward to the one who fasts and is patient.

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "The one who eats and is grateful is like the status of the one who fasts and is patient." (Jami` at-Tirmidhi, Hadith 2486, Classified as Hasan Gharīb).

Remembrance of Allah:
It is highly recommended to recite Takbeer ("Allahu Akbar") after every obligatory prayer from Fajr on the 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah (the day of Arafah) until Asr on the 13th day of Dhul-Hijjah (the last day of Tashreeq).

This practice is among the legislated acts during these days and reminds us of the greatness of Allah and His Oneness. The takbeer is said both restrictedly (after the obligatory prayer) and unrestrictedly (at all other times).

Shaykh Abdul Azeez Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

"Takbeer is prescribed both unrestrictedly and restrictedly during these days. The companions practiced both forms, which is evident in the Quranic verse: "And remember Allah during the appointed days" [Al-Baqarah: 203].

And the saying of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ): "The days of Tashreeq are days of eating, drinking, and remembering Allah."

(Majmu' Fatawa wa Maqalat al-Sheikh Ibn Baz 26/89)

Mode of Takbeer:
The mode of the takbeer can be recited with the first takbeer said twice or three times, and it is verified from Ibn Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and others from the Salaf (early generations of Islam).

Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha illa-Allah, wa Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa lillahil-hamd.

‎الله أكبر الله أكبر الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر الله أكبر ولله الحمد

Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, there is none worthy of woship but Allah, Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, and to Allah be all praise.

Number of Times to Recite the Takbeer After the Obligatory Salah:
Various narrations and scholarly reports indicate that it should be recited once, twice, or three times, based upon each respective view.

Celebration and Reflection:
These days give us a special opportunity to enjoy the meat from our sacrifices offered during Eid al-Adha, to spend time with friends and family, and show generosity and kindness to others. It is a time to strengthen our faith through acts of worship, showing gratitude to Allah for His favours, keeping of the family ties, and building brotherhood and sisterhood.

May Allah accept our deeds, forgive our sins, and grant us the strength to continuously remember Him in all circumstances. Aameen.

Wa sallallahu wa sallama wa baraka 'ala nabiyyina Muhammad wa 'ala alihi wa sahbihi ajma'in.

Wasalaam.
