Alhamdulillah for witnessing another day 🌷If you haven’t used your time in the best manner in these 10 days, there is still time left to engage in acts of worship consistently ‼️ 🌷Imam Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said: "What really matters are good endings, not flawed beginnings [Minhaj as-Sunnah | V. 8, P.416] 🌷So brothers and sisters, do not despair! Do not become discouraged. If you haven’t made the most out of the first few days of Dhul Hijjah then إن شاء الله strive in these following days. May Allah allow us all to benefit from these valuable days. Aameen @Islam_Is_WayOf_MyLife

📘𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐚𝐡📘 💎 Forgiveness of Past & Future Sins Fasting on the day of arafah forgives past and future sins. Prophet ﷺ when asked about fasting on the day of Arafah, said, “It expiates the sins (minor) of the past year and the coming year.” (Muslim) 💎 Allāh ﷻ Releases Souls from Hell on This Day Prophet ﷺ stated, “There is no day in which Allah sets free more souls from the fire of hell than on the day of Arafah.” (Muslim) 💎 It Is the Sunnah of Prophet ﷺ Hafsah (RA), the wife of Prophet ﷺ said, “Four things the Messenger of Allah ﷺ never neglected: Observing fast on the day of Ashura, Arafah, three days every month, and offering Fajr Sunnah prayers early in the morning.” (Muslim) 💎 It Is the Essence of Hajj Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said “Hajj is Arafah.” (Nasai) This means that one’s Hajj won’t be completed if they don’t visit Mount Arafat. So, for those who cannot perform Hajj, fasting on the day of Arafah is a way of renewing their promise to Allāh ﷻ & committing to starting fresh. 💎The Religion of Islam was Perfected on This Day On this day, Allāh ﷻ revealed to Prophet ﷺ “This day I have completed your religion for you, perfected my favour upon you, and have chosen Islam as your religion.” ( Quran, Al-Ma'idah: 3) Hence, fasting on the day of Arafah is a way to celebrate this monumental occasion. 💎Is Fasting On the Day of Arafah Compulsory? The Day of Arafah is one of the most important days in the Islamic calendar. Even though it’s not compulsory to fast on this day, it is highly recommended, especially for those not performing pilgrimage (Hajj). 💎The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The most excellent dua is the dua on the Day of Arafah, and the best of what I and the prophets before me have said, is (la ilaha ila Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu al-mulk wa lahu al-hamd, wa huwa `ala kulli shay’in qadir) #Arafah Post frm (@unitefordeen)

“Whatever hardship befalls you is because of what your own hands have committed, while He overlooks many (of your faults).” [Surah Shuaraa 42:30]

📘𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐡𝐮𝐥 𝐇𝐢𝐣𝐣𝐚𝐡 💎Ibn Abbas reported: The Prophet ﷺ said : “No good deeds are better than what is done in these first ten days of Dhul Ḥijjah.” Some companions of the Prophet said, “Not even jihād in the way of Allah?” 💎 The Prophet ﷺ said :“Not even jihād in the way of Allah, except for a man who goes out with his life and wealth at risk and he returns with nothing.” (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 926) 💎Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet ﷺ said : “There are no days greater and more beloved to Allah than these ten days of Dhul Ḥijjah, so increase in them your declaration of the oneness of Allah (tahlīl), your exaltation of him (takbīr), and your praise of him (taḥmīd).” (Musnad Aḥmad 5423, Sahih) 💎Hunaida ibn Khalid reported:"Some of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ said that the Prophet ﷺ would fast for nine days during the month of Dhul-Hijjah and on the day of Ashura. The Prophet would fast three days in every month, the first Monday of the month & Thursday. ( Sunan Abu Dawud 2437, Sahih) Abu Qatadah reported: The Prophet ﷺ was asked about fasting the day of Arafat. 💎The Prophet ﷺ said, “It will expiate the sins of the previous and upcoming years.” Then he was asked about fasting the day of Ashura. The Prophet ﷺ said, ““It will expiate the sins of the year.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1162) Post frm (@Islam_Is_WayOf_MyLife)

📘Ten days of Dhul-Hijjah Most scholars adopt the opinion that these days are better than the last 10 days of Ramadan. However, what holds the last ten days of Ramadan at a higher status is the Night of Power (Laylat ul-Qadr) which is equivalent to one thousand months (83.33 years). 💎Dhul-Hijjah is better than the last 10 days of Ramadan during the day but the last 10 nights of Ramadan are far more superior and more virtue than Dhul-Hijjah. The rewards are multiplied in these days. 💎Ibn ‘Abbas said: “(The reward for good) deeds are multiplied seven hundred times in these days.” 💎Al Awzaa’i said: “I was informed that good deeds during the ten days are the equivalent (in reward) to a battle in the path of Allah, in which the day is spent in fasting and the night in safeguarding, except if one is bestowed with martyrdom.” 💎In Ramadan, doing good deeds and struggling in worship, especially during the last ten nights, is easier than during these days for a few reasons. Firstly, the atmosphere of the month of Ramadan, whether culturally, spiritually, or traditionally, makes it easier to focus & strive. Secondly, the shayateen (devils) are chained. So, to get that drive and direction we had in Ramadan is much harder when we have most likely fallen out of “Ramadan mode.” However, since the ibada (worship) is more difficult, the reward is greater. 💎So let’s keep this in mind and get ready to really work hard. Really feel this blessing and realize that it is an opportunity of a lifetime, because none of us know if we will witness these 10 days again. 💎Khalid bin Midan used to say: “If the door for good is opened for one of you, then rush (to take advantage) because you don’t know when it will close.” 💎Have high aspirations in your worship & use the examples of the ijtihad (diligence) of the saliheen (righteous) as motivation. Take advantage of the opportunities to get the reward of Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) while being elsewhere. Post frm (@Islam_Is_WayOf_MyLife)

"Make an effort to fast during these first nine days of Dzul-Hijjah. And if you cannot fast, then be grateful while you eat, and thank Allāh ﷻ when eating & drinking so that you may succeed in having Allāh ﷻ pleased with you, & that you may have the reward of a fasting person. The Prophet ﷺ said: The grateful person who eats will have a reward like that of a patient fasting person." Ref: AT- Tirmidhi 2486| Graded Hasan Post frm (@Islam_Is_WayOf_MyLife)

Reminder, these are the best ten days/nights of the year. Do what you can to please Allah ﷻ as much as you can in these blessed ten. Strive to achieve the mercy of Allah ﷻ and the highest levels of Jannah the same way you did in Ramadan. Ideas of daily actions can include (but arent limited to); give charity if you can, read Quran, pray extra prayers, repent from evil actions, make more dhikr (rememberance of Allah), reconcile with people, etc etc. The point is, become a better Muslim! Don't let shaytan distract you from it and don't be lazy. And know that whoever is sincere with Allah ﷻ, Allah ﷻ will recognise it and reward it. May Allah ﷻ accept our actions and make them solely for His pleasure and enter us all in the highest levels of Jannah.

The Virtues of the first Ten days of Dhul-Hijja...❤️

Don't forget to make duas as these are blessed days and the good deeds are a reason duas are accepted Many are fasting and this boosts the chance of duas being accepted Don't forget this ummah in your duas. May Allah free our prisoners. May Allah grant us all goodness in this life and hereafter. May Allah bring back the glory to this ummah and grant us all firdous....Ameen🤲🏻

Duhaa Prayer suffices a person 360 charities that are due, every day, on every bone/joint in the body. (Muslim) Minimum is just 2 rakats - the more, the better. Don't forget to encourage your family and friends. Time for it starts after sunrise by 15-20 minutes and finishes about 10 mins before Dhuhr Prayer time starts. -----------

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said: “Live your life with this principle: be good even if you don’t receive good, not because of others’ sake but because Allāh loves those who do good.”

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله “The intelligent person does not cling to this material world.” [al-Fawā’id | Pg. 228]

🔹Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, I was about to order for collecting fire wood and then order someone to pronounce the Adhan for the prayer and then order someone to lead the people in prayer and then I would go from behind and burn the houses of men who did not present themselves for the (compulsory congregational) prayer. By Him in Whose Hands my life is, if anyone of you had known that he would receive a bone covered with meat or two (small) pieces of meat present in between two ribs, he would come for `Isha' prayer." : Sahih al-Bukhari 7224 : Book 93, Hadith 83

Advice: Don’t let the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah pass you by as if they are ordinary days of the year. Let these 10 days be a glad tiding to the one who did not exert all his effort in Ramadan, to the one who sinned after he repented, to the one who has neglected years of ‘ibadah. Glad tidings to us all, for it is a chance to turn back to Allah. It is a chance to make our scales of good deeds heavier than our bad. It is a chance to make up for the past, and it is an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with our creator. How merciful is He? That He gives us chance, after chance. Opportunity after opportunity - to attain His mercy, His forgiveness and His guidance. How then can we turn our faces away from Allah knowing these are days in which two units of prayer are better than anything in this world, and that in it includes Yawm al-Arafah, a day where Allah wants to forgive our sins. Strive hard, read Quran, do your adhkar and keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah. Strengthen your ties of kinship, forgive those who have hurt you and seek forgiveness from those whom you have wronged. *May Allah guide us to what He is pleased with and what He loves🤲🏻

Reminder☝🏻🚫✂ 🔺 It was narrated from Umm Salamah (رضي الله عنها) that the Prophet (صلی الله عليه وسلم) said: “When you see the new moon of Dhul Hijjah, and one of you wants to offer a sacrifice, let him refrain from (removing anything) from his hair or nails.” Narrated by Muslim, 1977. According to another version: “Let him not remove anything of his hair or skin.” #Dhul_Hijjah
