*Lessons learned from all we have said so far (Episode 1️⃣ to 🔟) - blessed ten days of Dhul Hijjah:*

There are morals to be learned from all we have said so far of these blessed ten days. These include:

• We learn that among numerous good works, it is important not simply to do whatever is good in and of itself (we should do good), but rather we are to do the particular good that is appropriate for the time. Thus, we exert ourselves in one way in Ramadan and another in Dhul-Hijjah.

• These days remind us that we have limited days on earth. The days of Dhul-Hijjah come and go as do the days of life. So we should utilise them in the highest and best possible way.

• The ten days of Dhul-Hijjah make a way for those who feel they did not perform to the optimum level they had hoped for in Ramadan to make up for any shortcomings. This also teaches us to always look to the future with hope and anticipation. So if you find that you have slacked off in your worship, charity, or other good deeds; or in your vigilance and that your faith has slipped, instead of lamenting and letting the whisperer burden you with guilt and bad feeling, rather intend with each new day to strive in some of these many ways of goodness that Allah has opened specially for you. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said:

*“There are no days greater in the sight of Allah and in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Him than these ten days, so during this time recite a great deal of Tahlil (La ilaaha illallah), Takbir (Allahu Akbar) and Tahmid (Alhamdu Lillah).”* 📚[Ahmad]

Servants of Allah!

We have all heard the countless Prophetic Hadiths regarding the immense blessings of Dhul-Hijjah, and in particular, these first ten days. How then have we prepared for them? How much good deeds have we put forward so far and have in mind to pour?

Servants of Allah!

Structure your time, be mindful of the obligatory (fard) prayers and pray them on time. Perform the recommended (Sunnah) and extra supererogatory (Nafilah) prayers. Aim for Tahajjud (night prayers) and *pour your heart into Du’a*.. Endeavor to *Fast the the day of Arafah on Saturday 15th of June 2024 - Insha Allah*.. Spend a few moments on the recommended Azkar and reflect after each of them: *Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah, La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah, Asthaghfirullah, Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi Subhanallahil azim, La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shai’in qadir.* Pray in congregation whenever possible and keep the bond with the Masjid (Mosque).. Ask forgiveness of others, especially those we have hurt, and rekindling broken ties. Be extra mindful of personal conduct.. Help the needy and visit the sick. Control your anger. Spend time in solitude with the Qu’ran.. If you are able, perform the (Udhiyyah/Layyah) – and distribute the meat to the poor, needy, less privilege, family and friends. Attend and perform Eid prayer with the community.

With this,

We would like to say TaqqabAllahu Minna Wa Minkum. Have a lovely day in sha Allah and don’t forget to make lots of dua too, remember those who are in need so that they can also smile during the festivity and remember Allah much.

*Happy Eid Al-Adha in Advance*

Allah alone knows best

*Share to remind others*
