"So whosoever does good equal to the weightof an atom, shall see it;
~And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom, shall see it."
{ Source :-Qur'aan ~ Surah Al-Zalzalah ~99:7-8}
{ 'Alhamdulillaah 'Hir RabbilAlameen'} ......{!!!}
The glorious days when rewards are multiplied many times,
and sins are forgiven much more...
{'Insha Allah'}
These Blessed days are the first ten {10} days of Dhul-Hijjah{!!! }
....Just like the last ten nights of Ramadaan are the best ten nights
out ofthe whole year.
The *Prophet*
(Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam)
said:-
"There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allaah
than these ten~{10} days."
The people asked~
"Not even 'Jihaad' for thesake of Allaah?"
He said:-
"Not even Jihaad for the sake of Allaah...
except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and
his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing."
{Source:- Bukhaari }
{'Subhaan Allaah wal-Hamdulillaa h'!
...what an Amazing Blessing ! }
1) Fast all nine {9} days and
especially fast the Day of 'Arafah {!!!}
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said:-
"Anyone who fasts for one day for Allah's pleasure, Allah will keep
his face away from the Hell fire for a distance covered by a journey
of...
seventy {70}years!!!"
{Source:- Bukhari & Muslim}
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam) used tofast on the
ninth[9th] dayof Dhul Hijjah and he said:-
"Fasting the Day of 'Arafah ~
{9th} ~ ninth Dhul-hijjah is an Expiation for (all thesins of) the
previous year and an expiation for (all the sins of) the coming
year{!!!}"
{Source:- Sahih Muslim}
2) Do a LOT of Dhikr and Takbeer.
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said:-
' There are no days on which good deeds are greater or more beloved to
Allaah than on these
ten {10} days!so recite much...
Tahleel { Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah }
Takbeer {Allaahu Akbar}
and ...
Tahmeed {Al-hamdu Lillaah.}"
{ Sources:-Ahmad. ..Saheeh }
Takbeer at this time is a Sunnah that has mostly been forgotten,
especially during the firstfew days. So say it in the Masjid, in your
home, on the street and every place where it is permitted
to remember Allaah.
Revive the Sunnah that have been virtually forgotten and earn great
rewards for doing so.
{'Insha Allah"}
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said:-
"Whoever revives an aspect of my Sunnah thatis forgotten after my
death, he will have a reward equivalent to that of the people who
follow him, without it detracting in the least from
their reward."
{Source:-Tirmid hi- a Hasan Hadeeth}
Obviously, men should recite these phrases out loud, and women should
recite them quietly.
3) Stand in Night Prayers:-
Remember the virtues of spending the night in prayer, and its
sweetness in Ramadan?!
Why not revive this beautiful act of worship during these nights as well?!
Remember, how in the last third of every night, Allah Almighty calls
out tous, His servants:-
"Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to his invocation?
Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is
there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I mayforgive him?"
{'Alhamdullilah '}
{Sources:-Bukha ari & Muslim}
4) Make Sincere Repentance{!!!}
One of the best and most important things to do during these ten days
is to repent sincerely to Allaah and to give up all kinds of
disobedience and sin right away because we do not know when we will
die{!} and also because one evil deed leads to another.
But what does 'repentance' exactly mean?
It means that you come back to Allaah and give up all the deeds, open
and secret, that He dislikes.... that you regretwhatever you did in
the past, giving it up immediately and be determined never ever, to
return to it, and resolve to adhere firmly to the Truth by doing
whatever Allaah loves~
{'Insha Allah'}
"But as for him who repented, believed and did righteous deeds, thenhe
will be among those who are Successful."
{Source 'Quran'~Surah~Al-Qasas 28:67}
5) Return to the Qur'aan.
It is time now to dust off your copy of the Qur'aan and return to its refuge.
Make it a daily habit, using these 10 days the beginning of a strong
and beautiful relationship with it.
Read it with meaning, understand it, and then implement it and change
your lives for the better, as much as you can. Remember that reading
one letter of the Qur'aan earns you 10 rewards.
In this way, reading SuratAl-Fatihah,whic h doesn't take more than two
minutes will give you more than one thousand rewards!
This is on ordinary days, so what about these magnificent days!
Certainly the reward will be far greater...{!!!}
{'Insha Allaah'}
6) Generally Increase in doing ALL good deeds.
We should strive in doingmore good deeds in general, because good
deeds are beloved by Allaah and will bring us closer to Him. So if we
are not able to go to Hajj this year, we should occupy ourselves
during these blessed days by worshipping Allaah, praying extra
prayers, reading Qur'aan, remembering Allaah!
Sending Salaams on the Prophet
(Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam)~
making dua,
giving charity,
honoring our parents,
upholding ties of kinship,
enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil, and other good
deeds and acts of worship.
{'Insha Allah'}
7) Get the reward of Hajj wherever you are!
You may be unable to do Hajj this year, and you may feel sad because
youare deprived of the greatreward of Hajj. But you can achieve a
similar reward in whatever place you may be.
The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said:-
"Whoever prays Fajr Prayer in congregation, and then sits and
remembers Allah until thesun rises, then after a while prays two [2]
rakats, he will gain a reward equal to that of making perfect Hajj and
Umrah."
{He repeated the word Perfect three {3} times}
{ Source:- At-Tirmidhi }
8) Slaughter an animal and distribute the meat.
Ibn Umar said:-
The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam)
lived in Madeenah for 10 years and
every year he slaughtered an animal."
{Source:-Ahmad- }
9) Attend Eid Prayers.
But remember that Eid prayer is a form of worship and we shouldn't be
doing thingsthat are unIslaamic (especially) during these times, such
as listening tomusic, women going out for prayer without proper
Hijaab{!!!}
mixing of men and women, etc.etc. etc.
10) Gratitude to Allaah .
One of the biggest forms of worshipping
Allaah [Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala] is to thank Him, deeply, sincerely and
continuously.
After all, it is He who gave you every single thing that is in you, on
you or around you.
In fact, you wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for the Mercy of your Creator.
So thank Him for EVERYTHING that He gave you, the Islaam that He gave
you, the very life He gave you. And thank Him for the chance that He
gives you in these ten[10]days, to ask for forgiveness and guidance.
'Alhamdulillah' ~ there is much to be gained in these coming days. So
make the most of this perfect opportunity offered by these invaluable
and irreplaceable ten days. Hasten to do good deeds and appreciate
this blessing and make the most of it !!!
"And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty (death)."
{Source:-'Quraa n' Surah~ Al-Hijr ~15:99}
...My 'Salaams' To You All...
... Y a s m i n ...
Say, 'Indeed, my Prayer, my Rites of Sacrifice,
my Living and my Dying are for ALLAH, Lord of the Worlds'.
{'Quran'~Surat Al-'An`am -# 6-162.}
"All that is on earth will Perish. But will abide {Forever}
the Face of thy Lord, full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour."
{'Quran'~ Surat Al-Rahman- # 55~26-27 }
I Want to Die With my Forehead on the Ground!
The Sunnah in my Heart, Allah on my Mind,
Qur'an on my Tongue, and Tears in my Eyes! {'Insha Allah'~'Aameen' }
