 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Al-Khamis, 1st day of Dhul-Hijjah. (Thursday, 30th of June, 2022).

*_Some Virtues of Dhul Hijjah_*. BismilLah.

AlhamdulilLah for granting us the opportunity to be part of Dhul Hijjah. It's my hope that majority of us are fasting. Lets strive to fast as many as possible in these 9 days of Dhul Hijjah. 

ALLAH (SWT) takes an Oath by the Ten Nights of Dhul-Hijjah:

وَٱلۡفَجۡرِ - وَلَيَالٍ عَشۡرٍ۬ 

I swear by the dawn, [89:1] and by the Ten Nights.

2. RasuululLah (Sallahu Alaihe Wassallam) declares the good deeds of 10 days of Dhul Hijjah to be most Superior:

Narrated Ibn Abbas (R.A): The Prophet  said, "No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhul Hijjah)." (Tirmidhi).

Today is the 1st day of Dhul Hijjah so let's fast any number of days we can especially on Arafah day. If you can fast all the 9 days Maa shaa ALLAH, that will be great if not just strive to fast as much as we can. Fasting on Arafah day which is the 9th day of Dhul Hijjah expiates for sins committed the year before and the year after:

Abu Qatadah (R.A) is reported to have said that the Prophet SAAW said: "Fasting on the day of 'Arafah is an expiation (of sins) for two years, the year preceding it and the year following it.' (Ibn Majah).

*_May ALLAH give us all the opportunity to earn these great rewards_*. Aameen
