Muslim on Holidays

 *Muslim on Holidays*

-----------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

There are people who have been missing out since we finished Arafat day fasting. Why? Because the first 10 days of Dhul Hijja is gone.

In the actual sense,

The truly righteous people are those who worship Allah (swt) diligently throughout the whole year, because the lord of the first 10 days of Dhul Hijja is still the lord of any other months. He is Al-Hayyu La Yamoot Abadah!

My people,

We should not allow appearances, strength, health and youthful age to deceive us. Yes. This is because all of these are nothing but a mirage that one may see as water, but once we reaches it, we finds nothing. Yes. Health will be followed by sickness, youth will be followed by old age, and strength will eventually turn into weakness.

*Bye-bye to Tahajjud*

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) exemplified the beauty of PERSISTENT good deeds (even if it's small). He said:

“أحب الأعمال إلى الله أدومها وإن قل“

“The most beloved of deeds to Allah are the most consistent, even if they are small.” 📚(Sahih Bukhari)

My people,

Tahajjud is one of Allah’s most beloved sunnah practices, performed CONSISTENTLY by His servants. This worship is a good sunnah throughout the year and not only in the first 10 days of dhul-hijjah. And Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) did so until his leg became swollen. Then, his wife Aisyah (r.a.) asked, “Why did the Prophet do this if His sin has been forgiven?” Prophet (pbuh)  said, “Can’t I be a grateful servant?” - 📚Muslim.

Muslim Faithful!

Sufyan AthThawri was heard saying before he passed away:👉 *“If you depart to the hereafter without preparing the luggage of piety, on that Day you meet those who have. And you will regret not having been like them.”*

Therefore,

We should ALL continue with our God-conscious lifestyle eg - frequent giving of charity, the CONSISTENT midnight nawafil or Tahajjud etc....even after the first 10 days of dhul-hijjah.

So,

If u have not yet set ur phone alarm in a repeating mode, to wake u up for *Tahajjud* everyday till the end of ur life, pls do so immediately. Yes. It's not difficult bcos people are doing it everyday without missing.. It's all about priority!

Ending this reminder,

The Prophet (pbuh) said: *“O `Abdullah, do not be like so and so! He used to pray at night and then he stopped doing that”*(📚Al-Bukhari and Muslim
