Ustadha Youssra Kandil – Dhul Hijjah
Maximise your rewards on the 10 best days of Dhul Hijjah It is Hajj season and the blessed month of Dhul Hijjah is here. The Prophet (saw) said “There are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days (i.e the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah)” (Bukhari) The first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah are full of blessings and rewards, they are the best 10 days of the year. Any good deeds we engage in during this time carry greater weight in the sight of Allah (SWT). Make the most of the 10 best days of Dhul Hijjah by transforming communities and changing the lives of disadvantaged families. Give your Qurbani to those most in need Qurbani is a great way to share our blessings and maintain the traditions of the Hajj season. We can gain extra rewards with our sacrifice and share the joy of Eid with those in need. “For every hair of the Qurbani you will receive a reward from Allah, and for every strand of its wool you will receive a reward.” [Al-Tirmidhi] Follow in the footsteps of the Prophets this Hajj Season, and donate your Qurbani to the most vulnerable.
