Words of Wisdom
The ayah from Surah Hajj explains that it is not only about the physical actions, but there is a higher spiritual purpose which a person should be aiming for through performing Hajj and udhiyyah. Hajj, umrah, and udhiyyah should make us more
conscious of Allah, empathetic, and willing to make sacrifices. The most beautiful demonstration of these concepts are found in the examples of Ibrahim and his family. May Allah allow us all to follow their beautiful examples.
Hadeeth of the Day
It was narrated that Abdullah said:
"The Messenger of Allah said: "; Perform Hajj and Umrah
consecutively, for they remove poverty and sin as the bellows
removes impurity from iron and gold and silver, and Hajj Al-
Mabrur brings no less a reward than Paradise."
