As a muslim school kid, every year around hajj time we would face off in the “Hajj Quiz Competition” by learning all the facts and trivia we could about Hajj. I honestly credit my severe need to win every competition on how and why I know so much about Hajj even today but it’s also the catalyst that made me fall in love with the idea of leaving everything else in this world behind to just run to Allah ﷻ declaring, “Labayak: Here I am, My Lord, I am here!”
Don’t underestimate just how vital it is to create positive learning environments for your children to fall in love with Allah ﷻ and Islam! May Allah ﷻ accept from us and from you😊
Pilgrims performing Tawaf this morning. Do you know how blessed you must be to be able to perform hajj on these blessed days? May Allāh accept their hajj and prayers. These people are the wealthiest in my eyes.

لبيك يا ربي لبيك
may Allah accept all of the hujjaj this year, and all those that stayed home with an intention of going
i think everyone that simply had the hope to go is so lucky because in our deen, actions are based on intentions. additionally, the yearning that we’ll go through for another year will only add to the feeling of fulfillment when we finally enter the gates of the haram inshaAllah 🕋
so you've fallen off track this zhul-hijjah
first thing's first, it happens. beating yourself up now won't change what's already been done (or hasn't been).
secondly, know that Allah ﷻ is the most forgiving, so if He ﷻ wants, He ﷻ can choose to overlook all the mistakes you've made and turn them into good deeds, so never loose hope
now, the most important thing is that you still have time. these virtuous ten days aren't over yet. let's work on making the absolute most of whatever's left.
1. wrote down your goals- this will make them more tangible and once you place them somewhere visible, it'll serve as a reminder of what you ought to be doing. be realistic about how big you make your benchmarks, but don't completely dismiss your ability to give it your all once you get down to it inshaAllah ﷻ
2. make a plan- so, you know you want to recite the entire qu'ran, and you don't have a full 10 days to do it anymore? that's ok, plan out how much you can recite daily in order to complete your goal. similarly, have an approach for each individual goal so you're not left wondering how to achieve them.
3. hold yourself accountable- this varies widely for different people. some like to use a chart or app to ensure they stay on track whilst others need a buddy to check in with. some need a variety of methods. figure out what works best for you and then commit to not letting yourself slide anytime you fail to complete an intended task
4. time is everything- as stated in sura asr, man is at a loss with time. it's truly the one thing we can never get back. try to keep this in mind for the rest of these blessed ten days, so that as soon as you feel you're about to waste time on an app or doing something unnecessary, you snap yourself out of it. the first ten days of zhul hijjah are only 240 hours in total, and out of that, you need time to eat, sleep, and use the bathroom. after that, every hour counts and we can't afford to waste even one.
5. lastly, turn to Allah ﷻ for help- make dua to Allah ﷻ to help you make the most of this beautiful opportunity and keep firm faith in your ability to do so. if you have hope in Allah ﷻ’s mercy, He ﷻ will definitely take care of you.
there's a lot more to be said on this topic, but these are just a few tips that i feel are basic necessities. may Allah ﷻ grant us all the tawfiq to reap the most benefit of these most blessed days. ameen
for my sisters who can't pray during the days of hajj
my dearest sister,
your efforts are still valid. all ten days still remain just as blessed as when you were praying. please don't let this precious time pass you by. seize every opportunity.
here are some ideas to (hopefully) help:
1. azkaar- just because you can't pray or read the quran doesn't mean you can't keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah ﷻ and durood upon our blessed prophet ﷺ. the best zikr on the day of arafah is
لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، بيده الخير وهو على كل شيء قدير
another great zikr to constantly recite is
سبحان الله والحمد لله، لا إله إلا الله والله أكبر.
additionally, you can recite the takbeers of the days of tashreeq abundantly.
2. duasss- this is the perfect opportunity to make all the duas you forget to make when you're praying. in place of praying nawaafil, spend an hour and a half asking Allah ﷻ for every little thing you can think of. pray for forgiveness, divine mercy, barakah, goodness in this life and the next, all your needs and wants. be sure to keep the hujjaaj in your duas as well as the entire ummah. and if you remember, please pray for me as well
3. cleaning- if you can get it done when you aren't praying, that'll leave more time for other ibadah when you are. plus, cleaning is a huge part of faith, so you're still receiving rewards!
4. cooking- or any type of meal prep. if you can't fast, still reap the reward of fasting by giving someone else food or drink by which they may break their fast. as the hadith goes, whoever breaks someone else's fast receives the full reward, without taking away anything from the fasting persons reward (أو كما قال ﷺ)
5. studying- build a deeper connection with the quran by brushing up on some tafsir, or if you'd rather, delve into a new aspect of islamic knowledge. educate yourself about the story and teachings of sayyiduna ibrahim ﷺ and learn about the final hajj of our beloved prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
6. quran- and on that note, your ears aren't impure. you can definitely listen to lots of recitation and get a feel for which qiraah style you are most drawn to
7. sins- just because you cannot pray doesn’t mean you should unpause any sins you are abstaining from during these days. stay away from sins at all costs and try to make a firm intention to uproot them completely from your life going forward
8. good character-this isn't a break from trying to be your absolute best self. keep up with the good habits you've been trying to instill within yourself and try your best not to revert back to any bad habits just because you aren't fasting
9. sadaqa-with eid just around the corner, this is the perfect opportunity to give charity. remember, every cent you donate is being multiplied many many times so be as generous as possible, and remember: even smiling is a form of sadaqa!
10. help someone in need-whether a family member, friend, or a complete stranger, try to help at least one person each day. perhaps such a dua will escape their heart and reach the throne of Allah ﷻ that will complexly change your life.
“If one is unable to fast due to menstruation or due to sickness but had the intention to fast, Allaah Ta'aala will reward them as though they fasted.” (Mufti Muajul I. Chowdhury)
so just remember: you are a daughter of adam ﷺ and Allah ﷻ has chosen this for you. there is definitely khair in that which the Creator ﷻ has decreed for His ﷻ beloved creation
goals for the first ten days of zul hijjah:
pray all 5 salahs as soon as the time comes in
read quran for at least 30 minutes after fajr
pray ishraaq
complete the daily azkaar
spend time reflecting on the origins of hajj and the lessons to be learned from it
for my sisters who can’t pray during ramadan
my dearest sister,
your efforts are still valid. ramadan still remains just as blessed as when you were praying. please don’t let this precious time pass you by. seize every opportunity.
here are some ideas to (hopefully) help:
azkaar- just because you can’t pray or read the quran doesn’t mean you can’t engage in lots of azkaar and durood upon nabi ﷺ
duasss- this is the perfect opportunity to make all the duas you forget to make when you’re praying. in place of taraweeh, spend an hour and a half asking Allah ﷻ for every little thing you can think of
cleaning- if you can get it done when you aren’t praying, that’ll leave more time for other ibadah when you are. plus, cleaning is a huge part of faith, so you’re still receiving rewards!
cooking- or any type of meal prep. if you can’t fast, still reap the reward of fasting by giving someone else food or drink by which they may break their fast. as the hadith goes, whoever breaks someone else’s fast receives the full reward, without taking away anything from the fasting persons reward (أو كما قال ﷺ )
studying- ramadan is the month of the quran. just because you can’t touch the quran doesn’t mean you can’t keep a connection with it. brush up on some tafsir, or if you’d rather, delve into a new aspect of islamic knowledge
quran- and on that note, your ears aren’t impure. you can definitely listen to lots of recitation and get a feel for which qiraah style you are most drawn to
work/school- if you have assignments that will be due within the next few weeks, just knock them out now rather than have to stress about end of semester projects and deadlines during the last ten nights of ramadan
good character-this isn’t a break from trying to be your absolute best self. keep up with the good habits you’ve been trying to instill within yourself and try your best not to revert back to any bad habits just because you aren’t fasting
so just remember: you are a daughter of adam ﷺ and Allah azawajal has chosen this for you. there is definitely khair in the which the Creator ﷻ has decreed for His beloved creation
bringing this back for zil-hijjah. won’t be fasting tomorrow but still trying to make the most of this blessed day 🕋 📿
A Plan for the First 10 Days of Dhul-Hijah
The Best Days of the World
1. Intention
Make the intention for your deeds to be sincerely for Allah ﷻ during these days, and have the conscious intention to expose yourself to the blessings of Allah ﷻ.
Whoever is sincere towards Allah ﷻ, Allah ﷻ will be sincere towards him (meaning He ﷻ will fulfill his wishes).
2. Repentance
Make a table of all the sins that you want to pledge to Allah ﷻ that you will stop doing them.
The Conditions of Repentance:
1. Abandoning the sin completely.
2. Feeling remorse for what has already happened (of sins).
3. Having the firm intention never to return to the sin ever again.
3. Praying
The Five Daily Prayers (in their Fixed Times)
Leave everything behind you as soon as you hear the azaan and get up and pray.
"The best of deeds is prayer during its earliest time."
Remember, you will be doing what our Lord ﷻ loves the most.
4. As-Sunan Ar-Rawaatib
12 Raka'ahs everyday.
(2 before Fajr -4 before Zuhr and 2 after it - 2 after Maghrib-2 after Isha)
"Whoever prays in a day and night 12 raka'ahs voluntarily, Allah ﷻ will build a house for him in Paradise."
Imagine🤍🙏🏻
5. Night Prayer
Any even number of rakaahs, and end them with one rakaah of Witr and make du'a for everything you want.
"And pray during the night when the people are asleep, and you will enter Jannah in peace."
What more could you want?!
6. Duha Prayer
Two to eight raka'ahs, any time between 15 minutes after sunrise till 15 minutes before Zuhr.
It is a daily charity for every joint in your body.
(Also known as Chaast or Awwabeen Prayer.)
7. Fasting
Have the intention to fast the first 9 days of Dhul-Hijjah, as the Messenger ﷺ of Allah ﷻ used to do, especially the Day of 'Arafah.
"Fasting the Day of 'Arafah, l anticipate that Allah ﷻ will expiate (through it the sins of) the year before it and the year after it."
8. Quran
Our goal is to finish reciting the whole Qur'an at least once (during these 10 days):
Day 1 - From Surat Al-Fatihah till the end of Surat Ale 'Imraan.
Day 2 - From Surat An-Nisa till the end of Surat Al-An'aam.
Day 3 - From Surat Al-A'raaf till the end of Surat At-Tawbah.
Day 4 - From Surat Yunus till the end of Surat Ar-Ra'd.
Day 5 - From Surat Ibraheer til the end of Surat Al-Kahf.
Day 6 - From Surat Marlam till the end of Surat Al-Mu'minoon.
Day 7 - From Surat Ash-Shu'araah till the end of Surat Al-Ahzaab.
Day 8 - From Surat Saba till the end of Surat Fussilat.
Day 9 - From Surat Ash-Shura till the end of Surat Al-Hadeed.
Day 10 - From Surat Al-Mujadilah til the end of Surat An-Naas,
9. Zikr
(Remembrance of Allah ﷻ)
Let your tongue be busy with:
100 times at the very least
 سبحان الله
الحمد لله
 لا اله الا الله
الله اكبر
 لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله
الصلاة على الرسول ﷺ
استغفر الله العظيم وأتوب إليه
وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَّعْدُودَاتٍ
“and mention the name of Allah ﷻ on known days” (al-baqara: 203)
10. Azkaar
(Let these Azkaar also be a part of your day)
1. The azkaar of the morning and the evening.
2. The azkaar after every prayer.
3. Repeating the azaan and the du'a after it.
4. The azkaar before sleeping.
Write down some examples of these azkaar on paper and stick/hang them up where you usually walk.
(meaning where you'd see them a lot, just to be reminded of them as much as possible).
11. Du'a (Supplication)
Write down every single thing you've ever wanted and keep supplicating to Allah ﷻ again and again for it everyday (especially in Sujood, between the azaan and the iqamah, and during the last one-third of the night).
And persist in making even more du'a on the Day of 'Arafah.
And watch all your wishes come true after a while in sha Allah ﷻ.
12. Supplicating for Others
Assign a portion of your du' a for at least a hundred people. Choose ten people everyday from your family, spouse, friends, teachers, and anyone who has ever benefited you in any way, and make alot of dua for them, from your heart.
And make du'a for all the Muslims:
"May Allah ﷻ forgive me and my parents and the believing men and the believing women and the muslim men and the muslim women, alive and deceased"
13. Charity
Do not let a single day go by without giving out some charity, even if it is just a small amount.
Think of ten needy people that you want to help, or put a little money in a cash box everyday and take out and give away the whole amount on the last day.
14. Maintain the Ties of Kinship
Give a call or leave a message everyday to one of your extended family members.
The message can be as follows:
"How are you t/n? l hope you are well. I just wanted to let you know that l am remembering you a lot in my du'as today.”
15. Reviving a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ
Aim to do a Sunnah act everyday, with the intention of reviving the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ
For example:
- Saying Bismillah (before starting anything).
-Sitting down while drinking.
Starting with the right hand or right side (when doing certain things).
- Reciting the opening supplication (in the prayer before reciting Surat Al-Fatihah).
- Performing Wudu before going to sleep.
- Reciting the prescribed dua after making Wudu.
16. Prohibitions
Beware of wasting the best days of the world and the greatest days of worship in:
Watching TV
Social Media
Backbiting
useless talk
Sleeping too much
Perhaps you may never get these days again.
may Allah ﷻ accept from us all, ameen 🤍
كن واقعيا في كل شيء إلا في الدعاء،
اطلب المستحيل
Be realistic in everything except in prayer,
ask the impossible.
هل تستحي من أن ترفع يديك إلي ربٍّ حَيِيٍّ يستحي أن يردهما صفرًا؟
Are you shy to ask from a Lord that is shy to return you empty handed?
کیا تم اس رب سے ہاتھ اٹھاکر مانگنے سے حیا کرتے ہو جو تمہیں خالی ہاتھ لوٹانے سے حیا کرتا ہے؟
Here you can donate to the families in Gaza. We have collected $3,312 / $20,000. 🙏🙏
The voice of truth for every Palestinian 🇵🇸
An Israeli soldier is seen firing randomly toward civilian homes and displacement tents in Gaza, describing the act as “for entertainment.”
At a time when civilians are being killed daily by stray bullets coming from the eastern areas of the Strip, violence is treated as a game wituhout accountability, and without humanity.
This is not an “isolated incident.”
This is not a “mistake.”
It reflects a reality where civilians are dehumanized and treated as targets.
Documenting these acts is a duty.
Silence is complicity.
After the ceasefire !!
Airstrikes targeting displacement tents in Gaza despite claims of a ceasefire and narratives that the war has “ended.”
For civilians on the ground, there is no post-war reality. There is no safety. Only changing methods of the same violence.
A ceasefire on paper does not stop bombs in the sky.
And declarations of peace mean nothing when tents are still being bombed.
Donations for GAZA!!
This donation campaign is for ANAS family. Not for strangers, not for a cause I'm distant from but for the people who raised me, the people I love, the people I'm terrified of losing.
They are in Gaza, trying to survive something no human being should ever have to endure. Constant bombardment, displacement, hunger, fear, and the feeling that tomorrow is never guaranteed. Every day is about staying alive one more night.
If you choose to help, you are not donating to an abstract crisis. You are helping real people with names, memories, and lives that matter to me more than anything.
—-This is a verified Chuffed campaign to support family:

Sayyiduna Zaid Bin Khaalid Al-Juhani رصى الله عنه reports that Rasulullahi ﷺ said:
"The one who provides iftaar for a fasting person, he will receive the same reward as he (the fasting person) receives, without the reward of the fasting person decreasing in any way."
Sunan Tirmizi 807
Two blessings many people waste: health and free time.

The Throne does not.
