Today, Friday, 17th July 2020 is equivalent to the 25th of DhulQodah, 1441AH (#Counting of Sultan) (click here, for the daily update).
As a consequence, starting next week Wednesday/Thursday(before next Friday), we would be in the month of Dhul Hijjah In sha Allah and so the need to explore some of the virtues of the glorious month of Dhulhijjah in advance is very important.

This month marks the end of the Islamic calendar and hosts the greatest gathering of mankind - the Hajj.
Rasulullah (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “There are no days in which Ibadah is more beloved to Allah Ta’ala than the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. The fast of each day is equivalent to the fast of one year and the Ibadah of each night is equivalent to the Ibadah of Laylatul Qadr.” (Tirmizi)

Recommended for those making Udhiyah (Qurbani)
It is Mustahab (recommended - not compulsory) for those making Udhiya (Qurbani) to abstain from removing any hair of the body and from clipping the nails from the first of Zul-Hijjah until completing the Udhiya.

Takbeer-e-Tashreeq
It is Wajib (compulsory) to recite the Takbeer once after every Fard Salah beginning from Fajr of the 9th Dhul-Hijjah (Day of Arafah) till Asr of the 13th Dhul-Hijjah.

NB: Women should also read the Takbeer (in a soft voice).




Fasting on the 9th (Day of Arafah)
It is highly rewarding to fast during the first nine days of Zul-Hijjah, especially the 9th (Day of Arafaat).

May Allah count us and family among those that will witness more of these months in good health, wealth and sound faith (Ameen).

May we witness the month in good health and wealth, May Allāh accept all our act of ibadah during the month and beyond!

Hmm

Its not about praying and fasting. It’s about love for one another. Hate no tribe and speak no ill against one another . Only then will Nigeria and the world entirely be a better place for all.

I have one question though. Different religions believe theirs is the way to righteousness and God, but we have various religions in the world. Which religion will really benefit from the eternal life ? Christians or Muslims ? And then what happens to others who practice Judaism, Buddhas and the Hindus ? Will all of them perish for not having same belief ?

Be wise and love one another

Is Islam a religion or an Arab tradition?

Since you hold the Quran is the ultimate, where was this commanded in the Quran?

Yes. Only Islam is the way

Aal-e-Imran 3:19

إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْإِسْلَٰمُۗ وَمَا ٱخْتَلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْعِلْمُ بَغْيًۢا بَيْنَهُمْۗ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ

Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account.

وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ ٱلْإِسْلَٰمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ

And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.

Islam is the only way to eternal salvation. The argument is this: There is only one God(Allah) and he had sent his guidance to humanity with the same message since Adam till this present Age. But vast majority of humanity either reject, twist or forget those messages. Later generations who received the adulterated messages either started worshipping the Prophet who brought the original message or call it the religion of this prophet or that.

So according to Islam, God sent about 124,000 prophets and messengers to mankind, starting with Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and ending with finality with Muhammad (saw).

Among those Prophets whose messages were adulterated or forgotten, came forth various religions including Christianity, Confucius, Buduism and many other religions.

Every Prophet sent by God to mankind preached Islam(belief in one God and the messager of that time and bowing down in prayer)

It was prophet Abraham who called followers of God Muslims:

And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive. He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation) ; that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to help! Quran 22:78

Inclusion, anybody that followed the pristine religion of his time from God was a Muslim and will attain eternal salvation. And the pristine religion of this Age is Islam

Dinho991:
Aal-e-Imran 3:85

وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ ٱلْإِسْلَٰمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ

And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.

What else did you expect the authors of the Quran to have said if not that?

JazakAllahu Khairan

You are right. For example Islam teaches Muslims to hate Christians and Jews. When I was a Muslim, I hate Jews even though I never met one. It's true that Islam discourage tribalism, but it also encourage division along religion lines.

It would have been better if people could abandon religion or at least stop following their scripture word for word. They should understand that their scriptures are not always right.

What a reminder? MayAllah's blessing sourround us and makes us pious belivers amen.

Some people were made to believe that Muhammad came with this Islamic months. NO. He met Arabs on it just like we Yorubas have our own traditional months. If Muhammad was a Yoruba, Muslims would be counting months and days in the Yoruba ways.

Nothing is special about Arab's month. Snap out of it.

By the way, hajj and eid that follows it predate Islam. Muhammad only adopted it from the pegans. Ibrahim never travelled to makkah. Ask any Jew about the story of Abraham.

Note: I don't support any abrahamic religion, but the story of Abraham from the Jews is more reliable than the one Muhammad formulated

Lukgaf:
Yes. Only Islam is the way

That's because you were indoctrinated by a Muslim parent. Christians would claim that christianity is the only way too.

Infact, most of the religion followers belive that their own specific religion is the right one .
