The Sacred Month of Dhul Hijjah starts today.


The Islamic Month of Dhul Hijjah starts today, Sunday 6th Oct.


Arafaat Day is on Monday 14th  and Eid is on Tuesday 15th (subject to moonsighting).


"There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allaah than these 10 days." [Bukhaari]

"There are No days greater in the sight of Allaah (including Ramadhaan) and in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Him than these 10 days, so during this time recite a great deal of Tahleel ("La ilaaha ill-Allaah"), Takbeer (Allaahu Akbar) and Tahmeed (Al Hamdu Lil-laah)." [Ahmad]

Sunnah of the Prophet s.a.w:
"When you see the new moon of Dhul-Hijjah, if any one of you wants to offer a sacrifice, then he should stop cutting his hair and nails until he has offered his sacrifice." [Muslim]

Sunnah:
"The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast on the first 9 days of Dhul-Hijjah and the day of ‘Ashoora’, and 3 days each month - the first Monday and 2 Thursdays of the month". [Nasaa’i, Abu Dawood]

Fasting on the Day of ‘Arafaah.
"It expiates for the sins of the previous year and of the coming year." [Muslim]

"There is no day on which Allaah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of ‘Arafaah. He comes close and expresses His pride to the angels, saying, ‘What do these people want?’" [Muslim]


Takbeer of Tashreeq

After each Fardh Salaah,  recite from Fajr of 9th Dhul Hijja (Tuesday 15 Oct) until Asr of 13th (Friday 19 Oct)

"Allaahu Akbar,
Allaahu Akbar,
Laa ilaaha il-lAllaahu,
WAllaahu Akbar
Allaahu Akbar,
Wa Lil-laahil-hamd"
