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 🤍

After About 40 Years…

(The following text is mostly from this Instagram page: PanahianEN) There is a video of the ceremony of Renunciation of the Polytheists by Iranian pilgrims, which has received much attention. But there is one thing about this video that it must be mentioned. This is not the first year that Iranian pilgrims are holding this ceremony. Rather, it’s about 40 years now that they’ve been holding the ceremony of Renunciation of the Polytheists during Hajj. This is a ceremony that Imam Khomeini, inspired by Prophet Ibrahim’s Hajj, recommended that all pilgrims participate in. He introduced this ceremony as a pillar of a true Hajj.

Iranian pilgrims have suffered greatly for this ceremony during these years. Just one example of these sufferings was in 1987 when the Saudi government, a strong supporter of I$r@el, attacked the Iranian pilgrims’ Renunciation of the Polytheists march and martyred 350 pilgrims in an unparalleled crime. But finally now after many years, the truth, correctness, and beauty of this ceremony by Iranian pilgrims has been seen throughout the world, and everyone has admired and been inspired by it. This truth shows that being active on the straight path may take time, but it will definitely be effective. God has guaranteed the effectiveness of the martyrs’ blood and continuing on their path.

Pilgrimage to Mecca

by Cobbold, Evelyn, Lady, 1867-1963

Pilgrimage to Mecca

by Cobbold, Evelyn, Lady, 1867-1963

Zainab Cobbold (born Lady Evelyn Murray; 17 July 1867 – January 1963) was a Scottish diarist, traveller and noblewoman who was known for her conversion to Islam in 1915.

"We walk on the smooth marble towards the Holy of Holies, the House of Allah, the great black cube rising in simple majesty, the goal for which millions have forfeited their lives and yet more millions have found heaven in beholding it … the 'Tawaf' is a symbol, to use the words of the poet, of a lover making a circuit round the house of his beloved, completely surrendering himself and sacrificing all his interests for the sake of the Beloved. It is in that spirit of self-surrender that the pilgrim makes the 'Tawaf'".

Her book Pilgrimage to Mecca in 1934 is the first Hajj account by a Scottish Woman and her diary also is the oldest record of a trip during the Hajj, when she went by car from Mina to Arafat. 

Not much is known about her life after she completed her pilgrimage, she passed away in 1963 aged 95, She requested an Islamic burial and her headstone was inscribed with a verse from Surah An-Nur.

من لندن إلى مكة by تأليف الليدي إيفيلين كوبولد - اختيار وترجمة هبة هنداوي | Goodreads

نبذة عن الكتاب: "تكفيني نظرة لدفتر مذكراتي لأدرك أن كل هذا كان حقيقة مطلقة. لن يستطيع الزمان محو الذكريات التي حفرت في قلبي. ستظل بساتين المدينة وسكينة الجوامع وآلاف المصلين الذين مروا علي وأعينهم تفيض من الدمع تبتل خشوعًا حاضرة في ذهني. لن أنسى عظمة وجلال المسجد الحرام في مكة، ولن أنسى رحلة الحج في الصحراء قاصدين جبل عرفات. ستحمل روحي للأبد متعة الرضا والسعادة التي غشيتها. لم تحمل لي الأيام السابقة إلا الخير، والجمال، والدهشة. لقد اكتشفت عالمًا جديدًا مذهلًا." :الليدي إيفيلين كوبولد أو السيدة زينب كما اختارت أن يكون اسمها بعد إسلامها مستشرقة ورحالة اسكتلندية الأصل. ولدت لأسرة أرستقراطية عشقت السفر والترحال. لا نعرف تاريخ إسلامها ولا يبدو أنها هي نفسها كانت تعرفه فلقد كانت فطرتها ميالة إليه "يبدو أنني كنت مسلمة على الدوام" ربما من الشائع أن نسمع في أيامنا الحاضرة عن من يعتنق الإسلام لكن أن يتم ذلك في عصر الملكة فيكتوريا كان هذا أمرًا غريبًا خاصًة مع ما غلف الإسلام والعرب من غموض في هذا الوقت. عام 1933 كانت أول امرأة بريطانية تؤدي رحلة الحج وكانت في الخامسة والستين من عمرها. وعادت لتنشر الكتاب عام 1934/ بعنوان: Pilgrimage to Mecca في عام 1963، أسلمت الروح لبارئها وهي في الخامسة والتسعين من العمر ودفنت في جبال اسكتلندا الجميلة وفقًا لوصيتها وبحضور إمام مسجد وعازف موسيقى القرب، وحفرت على قبرها

मुस्लिम मौलवी साहेबानो का कहना है कि अल्लाह बेचूंन है वह कभी दिखाई नहीं देता। जबकि पवित्र कुरान शरीफ़ कहती हैं कि "अर्श कुर्स पर अल्लह तख्त है" यानी अल्लाह ऊपर जिस्मानी रूप में हैं और वह दिखाईं देता है। उसका नाम "कबीर" है। और उसकी जानकारी किसी बखाबर से पूछो।

In 1000 CE, Europeans had a limited but expanding awareness of the wider world, shaped by trade, exploration, and religious contacts. The Vikings had pushed westward, reaching Greenland and Vinland (North America). At the same time, merchants and pilgrims traveled south and east, engaging with the Islamic Caliphates, which connected them to India, Central Asia, and China through trade networks like...
