Assalamu alaikum:

This Sunday is expected to be the first day of the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah. Its first 10 days are a blessed time, and we are encouraged to push ourselves to do good as much as we can.

Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these 10 days.” 

It is important to note that these days are considered sacred for both those individuals going to Hajj and those who are not. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic has once again restricted Hajj for anyone outside of Saudi Arabia for a second year in a row, this takes on even more importance. 

This week, we encourage you, your family, and your community to reignite that Ramadan stamina when we all made extra efforts to do more, give more, and be better to improve ourselves spiritually. This is a unique opportunity and a blessed time. 

Also, please don’t forget to start planning for Eid-ul-Adha, which will fall on Monday, July 19, or Tuesday, July 20. Making Eid special, especially after the last very difficult year, requires planning and preparation. We share some ideas on how to do that. 

Peace,

Friday Talks with Imam Abdul Malik Mujahid 

Imam Abdul Malik Mujahid has been consistently giving Khutbas every Friday since the lockdown due to COVID began. Although many Masjids have reopened, not everyone has access to the learning opportunity that Khutbas offer, which is why he has continued to offer them. This week’s topic will be
“Sacrifice: A Hajj Lesson" Watch it here.

*** If your masjid is open for Juma with social distancing, that is where you want to be. However, if you cannot, then watch virtual Khutba and then offer with family Zuhr salat together. .
