Words of Wisdom
Alhamdulilah, as we enter these blessed days of Dhul Hijjah, let us remember and honor the unwavering faith and sacrifices of Ibrahim and his family. Despite the numerous trials they faced, their steadfast commitment to serving and pleasing Allah was always rewarded. Their stories serve as beacons of inspiration and guidance for us all. We follow their example by increasing our worship during these blessed days.
We also want to make special dua for our brothers and sisters going to Hajj. May Allah SWT take them safely, accept their Hajj and all of their ibadat, and bring them back safely.
Hadeeth of the Day
Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Messenger of Allah () said, "There are no days during which the righteous action is so pleasing to Allah than these days (i.e., the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah)." He was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, not even Jihad in the Cause of Allah?" He () replied, "Not even Jihad in the Cause of Allah, except in case one goes forth with his life and his property and does not return with either of it."
