Dear HOPE Supporters,
Did you know that the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah are equal to the last 10 nights of Ramadan in terms of importance? This year, Dhul-Hijjah will begin approximately July 11, 2021. If you are not able to perform Hajj, here are some beloved deeds to perform during these special days:
Fast:
Fast the first 9 days if possible, but especially on the day of Arafah (the day before Eid): “Fasting on the day of Arafah is an expiation for the preceding year and the following year.” [Muslim]
Recite Zhikr:
Recite tasbeeh (SubhanAllah), tahmeed (Alhumdolillah), tahleel (La illaha illa-llah), and takbeer (Allahu akbar) sincerely and as often as you can.
Charity:
Give Sadaqa to those less fortunate.
Quran:
Increase your recitation and understanding of Allah SWT's Holy Book.
Qurbani:
Honor the tradition of our great father, Ibrahim alay his salaam by sacrificing an animal. Qurbani meat is usually distributed as 1/3 to you and your family, 1/3 to family and friends, 1/3 to the poor.
