Hajj is an excellent opportunity for Hajj Dua, a time when we are visitors to God’s house, when we are not distracted by our day to day lives. Here are a few suggested Duas we can make during the journey of a lifetime. Along with duas for yourself and the family include the ummah, your neighbors and the humanity. 

Prophet Mohammed said: "There aren't any days greater, nor any days in which deeds done in them are more beloved to Allah Most High, than these ten days." Here is a sample schedule of activities you can do together in these blessed days.

Allah says in the Quran: “Call on me, I will respond to you” [40:60]. Given our current climate, filled with hate and negativity, we often feel hopeless. Use the last day of Ramadan as a time to unload our worries, our troubles to Allah. 

These deep duas are being written just as guidelines to dua for friends to Allah. 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

Excerpts from The Fundamentals of Islam by Syed Abul Ala Maududi about the spiritual experience of Hajj.

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.

Summer is a good time to help your kids reconnect with the Muslim Ramadan 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.
