Assalamu'alaikum,
Peace be upon you (:

hello world!

selamat hari raya Haji!


In the name of Allah, Most Gracious Most Merciful.

Narrated Aisha, the Prophet (saw) said, "There is no day on which Allah will grant His servants freedom from the Hellfire, like the Day of Arafah. Allah draws near (to the lower heaven) and then praises them (His servants) in front of the angels, saying, ‘What do these people want?’" (Sahih Muslim). Allah praises all the servants who gather on the Day of Arafah (day before eid) to ask His forgiveness, commending them in front of the angels, and asking "What do these people want?" As we all know, they want nothing but the forgiveness and mercy of Allah. And, as stated in the hadith, Allah will grant His servants forgiveness and freedom from the Hellfire. Hence, this illustrates the virtue of this sacred day.

“On no days is the worship of Allah desired more than in the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. The fast of each of these days is equal to the fast of a whole year, and the ibaadat (worship) of each of these nights is equal to the ibaadat of laylatul qadr.” (Tirmizi and Ibn Maajah)

Indeed, the Prophet (saw) said, "There is no day on which the Shaitan will be seen as dishonoured and disgraced as on the Day of Arafah." This is because Shaitan was intent on seeing people enter the Hellfire, and instead Allah grants most freedom from the Hellfire on this day, than from any other day of the year.

Takbeer Tashreeq is the recitation of Allahu Akbar Allaahu Akbar, Laa ilaaha illa-llaahu Wallaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar walillaahil hamd after every Fardh Salaat commencing from Fajr of the 9th of Dhul Hijjah till after Asr of the 13th of Dhul Hijjah. This is wajib for everyone, male and female to recite in these days.

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) said, ‘The fast on the day of Arafat is an atonement for the sins of the past and following year’. (Sahih Muslim; Hadith 1977).

So make sure to fast on the 9th day (day of Arafat-Sunday for us Chicagoans) and make sure to do abundant dua and ibadat the night before Eid because this is one of the five blessed nights in which if someone is in ibadat, jannah becomes wajib on them.

It is mandatory on every male or female who possesses 87.48g of gold or 612.35g of silver or the equivalent value in cash on the days of Eidul Adha to do qurbani (sacrifice or have an animal sacrificed). You can pay for this or have it arranged through various websites as well.

The Blessed Days of Zill-Hijjah are here, so increase your ibaadat (worship of Allah) and be rewarded tremendously (inshaAllah)...

And Allah knows best.

amin (:
