The Most Virtuous Days of Dhu L-Hijjah

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi RasūliLlāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Shaykh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al- Ḥaqqānī. Madad. Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.

Shukr to Allah ﷻ, we are living in these holy beautiful days. The first ten days of Dhu l-Hijjah are from the days praised by Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. All of them are beautiful, but the last days, the 8th and the 9th, are more virtuous. More than the 8th, the 9th - Yawmu ‘Arafah is a very holy day. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gives Thawab and rewards seven hundred fold and more on that day, not just tenfold.

Therefore, from the 1st till the 9th, whoever can should fast, but that is over now. Tomorrow is Yawmu t-Tarwiyyah. A great Thawab is attained by those who fast on the 8th and 9th. Who cannot fast should at least fast on the 9th, Yawmu ‘Arafah.

The 9th corresponds with Friday, it is a holy day. This year is Hajj ul-Akbar, Shukr to Allah ﷻ. It doesn’t happen every year. Sometimes it happens once in seven years, sometimes more or less often. And in this year, Shukr to Allah ﷻ, it is a good day full of Barakah. There is fasting on that day, and you should give Sadaqah, pray, make Tasbih and recite Surahs. It is something we need. It is a day of worship more important for Akhirah than for Dunya. It comes once a year. Without it, people wouldn’t be able to become Hajjis. And for us, in order to attain its Thawab, we should not miss it.

These are holy days. May Allah ﷻ protect us. For the honor of these holy days, may He ﷻ give guidance to the Islamic world. May He ﷻ give guidance to people. May He ﷻ give them mind and understanding, because people are doing such things that show that they have neither mind, nor thinking. They are running after their egos. Their egos are training them. Instead of them training their egos, their egos are training them and making them do as it wants. They are showing the good as bad and the bad as good. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ change it to the better and send the Sahib insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
