🌟 The Best Days of the Entire Year are Almost Here! 🌟

Dear HOPE Friends,


🌟 The Best Days of the Entire Year are Almost Here! 🌟


💡 Did you know that the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah 🕋 are equal to the last 10 nights of Ramadan ☪️ in terms of significance?


📆 This year, Dhul-Hijjah is expected to begin at Maghrib on June 7th, 2024.


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.


🔸 Give Charity: ❤️‍🩹


Give Sadaqa to those less fortunate.


🔸 Read Quran: 📖


Increase your recitation and understanding of Allah SWT's Holy Book.


🔸 Perform 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.
