Islam › Re: Have You Planned For Your Uḍḥiyah? by DoveofPeace(m): 2:32pm On May 22 |
Lukgaf: Today is the 5th of Dhul-Ḥijjah, and Eid-ul-Adha is fast approaching.
One important act many Muslims are now preparing for is the Uḍḥiyah (Qurbānī) — the sacrifice done for the sake of Allah during Eid.
Allah says:
فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ “So pray to your Lord and sacrifice.” (Qur’an 108:2)
Sadly, some people spend heavily on clothes, food, and celebrations, yet neglect the sacrifice completely when Allah has blessed them with the means.
The Prophet ﷺ never abandoned it.
He ﷺ said:
«مَنْ وَجَدَ سَعَةً وَلَمْ يُضَحِّ، فَلَا يَقْرَبَنَّ مُصَلَّانَا» “Whoever has the means and does not offer a sacrifice, let him not come near our prayer place.” (Ibn Mājah)
This shows how emphasized this act of worship is.
If Allah has provided for you:
- plan for your sacrifice early, - choose healthy animals, - and make the intention sincerely for Allah.
And for those intending to offer Uḍḥiyah, remember: once Dhul-Ḥijjah entered, we should avoid cutting hair and nails until after the sacrifice.
These blessed days are not just about celebration — they are days of worship, sacrifice, and drawing closer to Allah.
May Allah provide for those who intend to sacrifice, accept it from us, and make us among those who revive the Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim and our beloved Prophet ﷺ. Āmīn. Aameen, Eid l Adha in advance |
Islam › Re: A Difficult Time — But Allah Is Our Protector by DoveofPeace(m): 2:28pm On May 22 |
Lukgaf: Kidnapping has become frighteningly rampant in our society today. People travel and their families begin to panic until they arrive safely. Some are even attacked in their homes. Wallāhi, these are difficult times.
The recent incidents around Oriire Local Government and many other places are enough reminders that security and safety are truly from Allah alone.
As Muslims, while we take physical precautions, Islam also teaches us to seek protection through du‘ā and remembrance of Allah.
Among the beautiful supplications for protection is:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَجْعَلُكَ فِي نُحُورِهِمْ وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شُرُورِهِمْ “O Allah, we place You before them and seek refuge in You from their evil.”
And also:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ “In the Name of Allah, with whose Name nothing in the earth or the heavens can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.”
These adhkār are protection, comfort, and reliance upon Allah.
In fact, one of the greatest protections a Muslim can maintain daily is the morning and evening adhkār taught by the Prophet ﷺ. Many of these can easily be found in the popular booklet Hisnul Muslim (Fortress of the Muslim). Let us revive this Sunnah in our homes, for ourselves and our children.
Make these adhkār part of your daily routine:
- before travelling - before sleeping - after Fajr and after ‘Asr/Maghrib - for yourself, your spouse, and your children
At the same time, let us remain vigilant, careful, and prayerful.
May Allah protect us, our families, and our communities from evil, kidnappers, bandits, and every form of harm. May He restore peace and safety to our land. Āmīn.

Islam › Re: The First Ten Days Of Dhul-ḥijjah Are Approaching by DoveofPeace(m): 11:23am On May 15 |
Lukgaf: The First Ten Days of Dhul-Ḥijjah Are Approaching
Today is the 28th of Dhul-Qa‘dah. Depending on the sighting of the moon, Sunday or Monday may be the beginning of Dhul-Ḥijjah which is the month of Hajj and one of the most blessed periods in Islam.
These coming days are not ordinary days.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
«مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ» They said: Not even Jihād in the path of Allah? He said: «وَلَا الْجِهَادُ، إِلَّا رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ» “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” (Bukhari)
SubḥānAllāh. Even deeds done in these days are more beloved than deeds in many other times of the year.
What Should We Increase During These Days?
- Recitation of the Qur’an - Salāh and voluntary prayers - Charity - Fasting — especially the Day of ‘Arafah for non-pilgrims - Dhikr and Takbīr
Allah says:
وَيَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ “…and mention the name of Allah during the known days.” (Qur’an 22:28)
The companions used to increase Takbīr in these days:
الله أكبر، الله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر، الله أكبر ولله الحمد
Important Etiquette
For those intending to offer Qurbānī/Uḍḥiyah:
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“When the first ten days begin and one of you intends to offer a sacrifice, let him not remove anything from his hair or nails.” (Muslim)
So once Dhul-Ḥijjah begins:
- Avoid cutting hair - Avoid trimming nails until after the sacrifice.
Conclusion
These are days of mercy, forgiveness, and multiplied rewards. Many people who witnessed them last year are no longer with us today.
Let us prepare from now and take advantage of every moment.
May Allah allow us to witness the first ten days of Dhul-Ḥijjah, accept our deeds, forgive our sins, and grant ease to the pilgrims. Āmīn.
PS: Don't forget to recite Suratul Khaf today All well noted, Aameen JazzakaLlau kair brotherly |
