“And Hajj to the House (ka’bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah for those who can afford…” [3:97]
Al-Hamdulilah the first two months after Ramadan are gone. Insha’Allah, we were all able to check upon ourselves in areas we’re weak (during Ramadan) so we may work on them until the next Ramadan with His Grace. As you all know, the following ten days of Dul-Hijja are among the sacred days and are days of Hajj for those who are able to make it this year. And for the rest of us, it is best spent through observing fast as the following narration by Ibn Abba (Radi Allahu Anhuma), as the Messenger of Allah (Salla’Allahu Aleyhi Wa’Salam) Saying explains:
“There are no days during which the righteous action is so pleasing to Allah than these days (i.e. the first ten days of Dul-Hijja.” He was asked: “O Messenger of Allah, not even Jihad in the cause of Allah?” He may Allah raise His Rank 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.” [Al-Bukhari]
Hence, as it is always recommended, we ought to hasten towards achieving our goals and be steadfast Insha’Allah, making sure we remember each other in Prayers.
“And know (O Muhammed) that there is no God save Allah, and ask for forgiveness for thy sin and for the believing men and believing women.” [47:19]
