These deep duas are being written just as guidelines. No names are real. Please adopt, modify, and write your own Duas. The point is to get into talking to our Lord directly, in our style, in our language

The month of Dhul Hijjah is a blessed month, but its first 10 days are particularly special, a time filled with rewards, blessings and significance. Here are three things Muslims are strongly encouraged to do during the first 10 days of Dhul al-Hijjah.

 This is just a guide. Feel free to modify it any way you like. Any thing which you think you must do should be planned for here.

Summer is a good time to help your kids reconnect with the Muslim community, since weekend Islamic school and other programs at the mosque take a hiatus. That means less of a chance to learn and socialize in an Islamic atmosphere on a consistent basis. 

The challenge when Ramadan and summer coincide is that summer is all about leisure, and Ramadan is about pushing ourselves spiritually. With leisure time and Ramadan at their longest this year, there are still ways we can adjust our schedules to make the most of the blessed month spiritually.

It is unfortunate that we do not always take full advantage of the gift of Salah. We may pray five times each day but few of us remain conscious for long that in Prayer we have the best means to develop a strong connection with Allah.
