Days in DhulHijah
[[-3rd Outing-]]------------------
بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم
This year, Dhul-Hijjah will begin very soon – In Shaa Allah. So as Muslims, we should welcome the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah with the same excitement as we do the last ten days of Ramadan. This golden chance should be used to earn uncountable rewards by increasing our acts of worship.
Conversely,
Doing wrong in this month increases the degree of sin more than the same act in other months. So the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah will come and go, just like the days of your life. Please use them in the highest and best possible way.
Now,
Let me tell you about something powerful – something that can make orphans and widows UNCONSCIOUSLY raise their hands for you on the Day of Arafah.
But,
First, understand how special Arafat day is especially if you fast on the Day of Arafah.
If you cannot fast all ten days, try to fast on just the Day of Arafah – the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah. Just as Laylatul Qadr is the most blessed night of the year, Arafah is the most blessed day of the year.
On Arafat day, we the chance to erase the sins of two years by fasting! The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "It (fasting on the Day of Arafah) expiates the sins of the past year and the coming year." 📚 (Muslim)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said:
"There is no day on which Allah sets free more servants from the Fire than on the Day of Arafah. He (Allah) draws near. Then He praises them to the angels, saying: 'What do these people want?'" – meaning He will answer their pleas, and deliver them from Hell and admit them to His Garden (paradise).
Now,
Here is the secret that can change your life forever.
Imagine this:
On the Day of Arafah – the best day of the whole year – hundreds of thousands of pilgrims are raising their hands to Allah (swt). But also imagine this: some of the purest hearts on earth are also raising their hands that day making Du'a for you.
Who?
Orphans and widows.
These are people who have nobody else. Their hearts are soft. Their du'as are pure. And when they are happy – when you put a smile on their face – they will UNCONSCIOUSLY raise their hands to Allah (swt) and say:
"O Allah, the people who made us smile… the people who gave us food… the people who clothed us and helped us… O Allah, grant them everything good they need in this life and the next life. O Allah, forgive them. Protect them. Give them health, peace, and a home full of happiness."
They may not even know your name. But Allah (swt) knows. And on that great day, while they are crying out of joy or smiling in gratitude, their du'as will rise to the sky – and Allah (swt) will say to the angels: "I answer these people. Give that servant whatever he asked for."
This is your chance.
You do not need to be rich. You just need to give – today, tomorrow, and every day until the Day of Arafah. Even a little money. Even a kind gift that makes an orphan laugh.
Then, on Arafah day, while you are fasting and making your own du'as, those orphans and widows will be making du'as for you without even planning it. Their hearts will be full of love for you. And Allah (swt) will not refuse them.
So do not miss this.
Give sadaqah now. Give every day until Arafah. Put smiles on orphans and widows – and earn du'as that you did not even have to ask for.
That is the biggest goodie of all. Grab it before it is gone.
