🙂 Alhamdulillaah, the blessed month of Dhul Hijjah has commenced 🙂
As per the official announcement in Saudi Arabia, UAE and adjoining places, today (12th Aug) is the First Day of Dhul Hijjah 1439. Accordingly, the Day of Arafah will fall on Monday, the 20th August, and Tuesday, 21st August, will be the first day of Eid al Adhaa. (Please check out for the local announcement done in your respective place as one has to go by the fatwa of one’s region)
Although there are mind-blowing resources already posted on this page, I wish to add the Dhul Hijjah Planner with just a few other related posts, by way of reminder and for the benefit of one and all, InShaaAllah. The focus, for me and you, should be on individual performance: to change the inner self.
May Allah give us the Tawfeeque and Hidayah to live by the teachings of Qur’an and Hadeeth to the best of our ability. Continue reading →

Islamic Year and Hijrah are inseparable twins.
Similarly, a Muslim and Hijrah are inseparable.
Two hadeeths stand out distinctly when it comes to Islamic Year, Hijrah and Muslims.
These two great sayings of the glorious Messenger of Allah – Prophet Muhammad, sal-lal-laahu-alaihi-wa-sallam – in fact set the agenda for the New Year.
Nay, they set the agenda for every every New Month. Every New Week. Every New Day. Every New Moment!
If you care about your Islam, you will value them in your life.
So happy New Year to you, and to every moment of your life. Continue reading →

In the Quran, the Al-Mighty took an oath by two aspects of His creation, both being great in their stature, both being symbols of Allah, and both being signs to reflect on:
“By the dawn, and by the ten nights” (Surah al-Fajr, verse 1)
The dawn is truly a magnificent sign of Allah. It signifies the end of darkness and passing of the night, and heralds the beginning of a new day. It is a phenomenon that mankind recognises itself as having no control over, as Allah declared in the Qur’an: Continue reading →

Dear brothers/sisters, Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu.
Every year in the month of Rajab we find Muslims around the world discussing about this unique event that took place in the glorious life of Prophet Muhammad sal-lal-laahu-alaihi-wa-sallam.
It has become a common ‘belief’ among us that this fascinating episode took place in the month of Rajab while the fact is something else!

Whenever Allah gives us an opportunity to witness the New Year, we must always try to go back to our roots and understand what it is means to be a Muslim, and what is the relevance of hijrah in our life.
So the simple question is: Who is a Muslim?
And What is the hijrah for the modern day Muslim?
Suffice is to quote a relevant hadeeth here: Continue reading →
