Shaykh Ahmad Musā Jibrīl (حفظه الله)

Even when my parents are in the wrong, I kiss them on the head and say sorry. Life’s too short to waste time arguing with the ones who raised you.

“Whosoever honours the Symbols of Allah, then it is truly from the piety of the heart.” — 22:32

The first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are among the most sacred moments in the Islamic calendar, days that Allah Himself has exalted. So honored are they that He swore by them in His Book, and Allah does not swear except by what is magnificent, noble, and elevated in rank.

In reverence to our Lord, we too honor these days as an expression of our veneration for Him.

These days are so weighty in virtue that time spent in worship—reciting the Qur’an, engaging in dhikr, and performing acts of devotion—is more rewarding than Jihad in the path of Allah during any other time of the year, including Ramadan. The only exception is the one who goes forth in the path of Allah with his life and wealth, and returns with neither.

Simply recognizing the sanctity of these ten blessed days and being mindful of their immense virtue is itself a source of reward—so how tremendous must the reward be for those who engage in righteous deeds during them!

Whatever good deeds you do—or continue to do—during these ten days, add the intention of doing them out of reverence for what Allah has honored. The intention to honor Allah’s sacred symbols increases the reward of your actions.

If you’ve missed the earlier days, don’t lose heart, there is still time, and today is certainly not a day to let slip by.

Today is a day crowned with a triple honor—a day unlike any other:
•It is part of the best days of the year: the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah,
•It falls on the best day of the week: Friday,
•And within it lies the precious Hour of Response (Sa’at al-Ijabah), a time in which du‘ās are answered.

These ten days are unlike any other…
They are days in which hearts are healed, du‘ās are answered, and the gates of heaven are flung wide open. So pour out your soul in supplication, and anchor your heart to the door of the One who says, “Be!”—and it is.

Seek out the sacred moments in which du‘ās are most likely to be accepted.
Within these days, a sincere call upon your Lord—“Yā Rabb”—could transform your life in ways you never imagined.

To honor and recognize the value of Allah’s sacred seasons and symbols is a sign of a heart alive with taqwā and īmān.

If you wish to measure the state of taqwā in your heart, look to how much you honor what Allah has honored, by respecting their sanctity, filling them with righteous deeds, and avoiding sins.

Whoever misses these days has missed a great treasure and a tremendous reward.

Don’t let these days slip away—
they are rare opportunities, windows of divine mercy that may never return.

Ahmad Musa Jibril
Dhu al-Hijjah 3, 1446

When you seek, seek from Allah.
When you desire, desire through Allah.
When you're alone, converse with Allah.
When you're down, open your heart to Allah.
When you hope, place your hope in Allah.
When you trust, entrust to Allah.
When you rejoice, share your joy with Allah.
When you fear, find solace in Allah.

Always, just turn to Allah.

Amidst Uzbek government’s raids against beards and veils, parents are now being forced to sign letters of guarantee to ensure that their children do not receive religious education or attend mosques during summer/school holidays.

In these letters, various types of misconduct and crimes that students should avoid are listed, and notably, the prohibition against receiving religious education—especially attending mosques—is mentioned twice.

Umar ibn al-Khattaab رضى الله عنه reported: A man from the Jews said, “O leader of the believers, there is a verse you recite in your book and, had it been revealed to us as Jews, we would have taken that day as a celebration.” ‘Umar said, “Which verse is it?” The man recited the verse;

الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمْ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينًا

“Today I have completed your religion for you, perfected My favor upon you, and have chosen Islaam as your religion.” (5:3)

‘Umar said, “I know the day and place in which this verse was revealed to the Prophet, صلى الله عليه وسلم. It was while he was standing on the day of ‘Arafaat on Friday.”
