Assalamualaykum Friend,

We hope you are doing well in both eeman and health.

As promised in our last email, here’s how we can go deeper into the blessings of these days.

The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are a treasure of opportunities for spiritual growth and closeness to Allah. Here are ways to maximize rewards:

• Engage in more Salah: Create a strong connection with Allah (SWT) through extra prayers, such as Tahajjud and voluntary prayers. Seek the tranquillity of the late night or early morning hours and pour your heart out to the Most Merciful.

• Fast: In addition to the obligatory fasts, fast on the Day of Arafah, the 9th of Dhul Hijjah. This powerful act of worship expiates sins and brings tremendous rewards. If health permits, seize this opportunity to earn Allah's pleasure.

• Engage in acts of kindness and charity: Emulate the noble character of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) by spreading kindness and extending your support to those in need. Look for opportunities to engage in charitable initiatives and contribute to the well-being of your community.

• Renew your intentions and set goals: Take a moment to reflect on your spiritual journey and set meaningful goals for personal growth. Evaluate your relationship with Allah, your character, and your commitment to living a life in accordance with Islamic principles.

By seizing these opportunities of Dhul Hijjah, we can transform our lives and draw closer to our Creator.

May these first days of Dhul Hijjah be filled with blessings, mercy, and spiritual elevation.

May our efforts be accepted by Allah and may they continue to inspire positive change within ourselves and our communities.
