A Plan for the First 10 Days of Dhul-Hijah

The Best Days of the World

1. Intention

Make the intention for your deeds to be sincerely for Allah ﷻ during these days, and have the conscious intention to expose yourself to the blessings of Allah ﷻ.

Whoever is sincere towards Allah ﷻ, Allah ﷻ will be sincere towards him (meaning He ﷻ will fulfill his wishes).

2. Repentance

Make a table of all the sins that you want to pledge to Allah ﷻ that you will stop doing them.

The Conditions of Repentance:

1. Abandoning the sin completely.

2. Feeling remorse for what has already happened (of sins).

3. Having the firm intention never to return to the sin ever again.

3. Praying

The Five Daily Prayers (in their Fixed Times)

Leave everything behind you as soon as you hear the azaan and get up and pray.

"The best of deeds is prayer during its earliest time."

Remember, you will be doing what our Lord ﷻ loves the most.

4. As-Sunan Ar-Rawaatib

12 Raka'ahs everyday.

(2 before Fajr -4 before Zuhr and 2 after it - 2 after Maghrib-2 after Isha)

"Whoever prays in a day and night 12 raka'ahs voluntarily, Allah ﷻ will build a house for him in Paradise."

Imagine🤍🙏🏻

5. Night Prayer

Any even number of rakaahs, and end them with one rakaah of Witr and make du'a for everything you want.

"And pray during the night when the people are asleep, and you will enter Jannah in peace."

What more could you want?!

6. Duha Prayer

Two to eight raka'ahs, any time between 15 minutes after sunrise till 15 minutes before Zuhr.

It is a daily charity for every joint in your body.

(Also known as Chaast or Awwabeen Prayer.)

7. Fasting

Have the intention to fast the first 9 days of Dhul-Hijjah, as the Messenger ﷺ of Allah ﷻ used to do, especially the Day of 'Arafah.

"Fasting the Day of 'Arafah, l anticipate that Allah ﷻ will expiate (through it the sins of) the year before it and the year after it."

8. Quran

Our goal is to finish reciting the whole Qur'an at least once (during these 10 days):

Day 1 - From Surat Al-Fatihah till the end of Surat Ale 'Imraan.

Day 2 - From Surat An-Nisa till the end of Surat Al-An'aam.

Day 3 - From Surat Al-A'raaf till the end of Surat At-Tawbah.

Day 4 - From Surat Yunus till the end of Surat Ar-Ra'd.

Day 5 - From Surat Ibraheer til the end of Surat Al-Kahf.

Day 6 - From Surat Marlam till the end of Surat Al-Mu'minoon.

Day 7 - From Surat Ash-Shu'araah till the end of Surat Al-Ahzaab.

Day 8 - From Surat Saba till the end of Surat Fussilat.

Day 9 - From Surat Ash-Shura till the end of Surat Al-Hadeed.

Day 10 - From Surat Al-Mujadilah til the end of Surat An-Naas,

9. Zikr

(Remembrance of Allah ﷻ)

Let your tongue be busy with:

100 times at the very least

 ‏سبحان الله

‏الحمد لله

 ‏لا اله الا الله

‏الله اكبر

 ‏لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله

‏الصلاة على الرسول ﷺ

‏استغفر الله العظيم وأتوب إليه

وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَّعْدُودَاتٍ ‏

“and mention the name of Allah ﷻ on known days” (al-baqara: 203)

10. Azkaar

(Let these Azkaar also be a part of your day)

1. The azkaar of the morning and the evening.

2. The azkaar after every prayer.

3. Repeating the azaan and the du'a after it.

4. The azkaar before sleeping.

Write down some examples of these azkaar on paper and stick/hang them up where you usually walk.

(meaning where you'd see them a lot, just to be reminded of them as much as possible).

11. Du'a (Supplication)

Write down every single thing you've ever wanted and keep supplicating to Allah ﷻ again and again for it everyday (especially in Sujood, between the azaan and the iqamah, and during the last one-third of the night).

And persist in making even more du'a on the Day of 'Arafah.

And watch all your wishes come true after a while in sha Allah ﷻ.

12. Supplicating for Others

Assign a portion of your du' a for at least a hundred people. Choose ten people everyday from your family, spouse, friends, teachers, and anyone who has ever benefited you in any way, and make alot of dua for them, from your heart.

And make du'a for all the Muslims:

"May Allah ﷻ forgive me and my parents and the believing men and the believing women and the muslim men and the muslim women, alive and deceased"

13. Charity

Do not let a single day go by without giving out some charity, even if it is just a small amount.

Think of ten needy people that you want to help, or put a little money in a cash box everyday and take out and give away the whole amount on the last day.

14. Maintain the Ties of Kinship

Give a call or leave a message everyday to one of your extended family members.

The message can be as follows:

"How are you t/n? l hope you are well. I just wanted to let you know that l am remembering you a lot in my du'as today.”

15. Reviving a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ

Aim to do a Sunnah act everyday, with the intention of reviving the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ

For example:

- Saying Bismillah (before starting anything).

-Sitting down while drinking.

Starting with the right hand or right side (when doing certain things).

- Reciting the opening supplication (in the prayer before reciting Surat Al-Fatihah).

- Performing Wudu before going to sleep.

- Reciting the prescribed dua after making Wudu.

16. Prohibitions

Beware of wasting the best days of the world and the greatest days of worship in:

Watching TV

Social Media

Backbiting

useless talk

Sleeping too much

Perhaps you may never get these days again.

may Allah ﷻ accept from us all, ameen 🤍

So when Hajj time comes around, do year-round residents of Mecca in unrelated lines of work take a vacation and rent their places out to pilgrims?

[sajid-waseem-u]

The Prophet (sig) said: The best invocation is that of the Day of Arafat, and the best that anyone can say is what I and the Prophets before me have said :

(Lä 'iläha 'illallähu wahdahu lä sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa 'alã kulli shay'in gadir.)

waktu itu 8 januari 2023, obrolan 2 orang yang penuh dengan cita cita dimulai dengan mempertanyakan negara yang paling ingin dikunjungi jika diberi kesempatan dinas luar negri dari kantor, berandai andai dimulai, yang satu sebut saja si joko ingin oergi ke eropa, sedangkan saya ingin pergi ke arab saudi untuk dinas haji saja. jawaban sama sama spontan dari mulut kami, kata orang dan menurut buku emotional intelligence jawaban refleks itu dianggap paling relevan dengan keinginan. sadar diri bahwa dikantor kami tidak mungkin bisa request kami terus berandai andai sambil terus saling bertanya. "kenapa bang?kok pengenya ke eropa? inggriss udah bukan bagian dari schengen loh jadi dia agak ribet visanya" ditimpali "iya sih tapi gatau ya gue pengen ke eropa deh kalo bisa, nah kalo lo kmn?" lalu aku jawab "haji bang, liputan haji di arab saudi" sudah pasti pertanyaan selanjutnya adalah kenaapa, karena dia mau tau alasanya.. yaaa jelas lah di negara kita haji bagi yang mampu itu susah banget, kata mampu punya banyak arti disini, mampu secara financial dan fisik sudah jelas, tapi mampu untuk menunggu sekian lama belum tentu, mampu untuk sabar dan kemampuan lainya yang banyak dituntut.

so, sadar diri dari segi financial aku jelas belum mampu, menunggu sekian lama pun aku rasa gak mungkin.. jadi kalo boleh didengar doaku aku ingin liputan haji sekaligus aku mengikuti ritualnya.

tak lama kemudian tanggal 14 januari 2023 si joko kasih tau aku bahwa ministry of religion membuka kesempatan para jurnalis untuk mengikuti prosesi hajj dan melakukan liputan dengan syarat menjadi petugas haji.

disitulah semua dimulai, aku mencoba untuk mencari laptop biar bisa kerjain syarat yang harus aku kumpulin, proposal liputan! ternyata deadline tanggal 16 januari 2023.

tanggal 15 aku kerjain di starbuck sampe larut.. dan berpindah tempat karena diusir. sampai diruamh aku ngantuk. aku tidur dan lupa apply prposalnya.

bangun tidur dengan kaget aku langsung liat jam dan kuliat jam 9 pagi, beruntungnya deadline proposal adalah jam 11. sip aku buka email dan yes SENT.

deg degan, bgt setiap hari, sola5 waktu gk bolong sampe pengumuman administrasi aku dinyatakan lolos dan selanjutnya pemaparan program. 13 orang dari kantor datang untuk memaparkan apa yang sudah dikerjakan, hasilnya kami menunggu lagi sekitar hampir 1 bulan lamanya.

alhamdulillah aku lolos lagi dan bisa ikut tes CAT dan wawancara. dengan keadaan badan yang kurang fit karena gk bisa tidur aku memaksimalkan semua kemampuanku..

alhamdulillah aku diterima dan berhak ikut bimbingan teknis untuk bekal bertugas di tanah suci.....

Hajj and Umrah: Understanding the Distinctions

Hajj and Umrah are two significant Islamic pilgrimages that hold immense spiritual importance for Muslims worldwide. While both involve visiting the holy city of Mecca and performing specific rituals, there are distinct differences between the two. In this article, we will explore and highlight the disparities between Hajj and Umrah, shedding light on their rituals, significance, and timing.

Definition and Purpose:

Hajj, often referred to as the "greater pilgrimage," is an obligatory pilgrimage that every physically and financially capable Muslim is required to undertake at least once in their lifetime. It is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and carries deep religious significance. The purpose of Hajj is to follow in the footsteps of the Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Ibrahim, commemorate their acts of devotion, and seek forgiveness and blessings from Allah.

On the other hand, Umrah, known as the "lesser pilgrimage," is a voluntary act of worship that can be performed at any time of the year. While it is highly recommended, it is not obligatory like Hajj. Umrah serves as a means of gaining spiritual rewards and seeking closeness to Allah. It is a shorter and less intricate pilgrimage compared to Hajj.

Timing and Duration:

Hajj has a fixed time and occurs during the Islamic month of Dhul-Hijjah. It begins on the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah and concludes on the 13th of the same month. The rituals of Hajj are performed within this specific time frame, and it culminates with the celebration of Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice.

On the contrary, Umrah can be performed at any time of the year, except for the designated days of Hajj. There are no specific restrictions on the timing or duration of Umrah. It can be completed in a few hours or days, depending on the pilgrim's preference and schedule.

Rituals:

The rituals of Hajj and Umrah share some similarities but also have distinct differences. Let's explore the key rituals of each pilgrimage:

a. Hajj Rituals:

Hajj consists of several essential rituals, including:

Ihram: Pilgrims enter the state of ihram by donning the prescribed clothing (white, seamless garments for men) and observing specific restrictions.

Tawaf: Pilgrims perform Tawaf, which involves circling the Kaaba seven times in a counterclockwise direction.

Sa'i: After Tawaf, pilgrims perform Sa'i, walking seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwah.

Wuquf in Arafah: On the 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah, pilgrims gather in the plain of Arafah, engage in supplication, and seek forgiveness from Allah.

Muzdalifah: After sunset, pilgrims move to Muzdalifah, spend the night there, and collect pebbles for the next ritual.

Stoning of the Devil: Pilgrims stone the three pillars in Mina, symbolizing the rejection of evil.

Sacrifice (Qurbani): A sacrificial animal is offered to commemorate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son.

Halq or Taqseer: Pilgrims shave their heads completely or trim their hair to mark the completion of Hajj rituals.

Tawaf al-Ifadah: Pilgrims return to the Kaaba to perform Tawaf al-Ifadah, which signifies the completion of Hajj.

Sa'i of Hajj: After Tawaf, pilgrims perform Sa'i between Safa and Marwah once again.

b. Umrah Rituals:

Umrah consists of the following rituals:

Ihram: Like Hajj, pilgrims enter the state of ihram by wearing the prescribed clothing and adhering to the associated restrictions.

Tawaf: Pilgrims perform Tawaf, circling the Kaaba seven times in a counterclockwise direction.

Sa'i: After Tawaf, pilgrims perform Sa'i, walking between Safa and Marwah seven times.

Halq or Taqseer: Similar to Hajj, pilgrims shave their heads completely or trim their hair, marking the completion of Umrah.

Significance and Reward:

Both Hajj and Umrah carry immense spiritual rewards and blessings. However, due to its obligatory nature, Hajj holds a higher degree of significance in Islam. It is considered a purification of the soul, an opportunity for seeking forgiveness, and an occasion to strengthen one's relationship with Allah. The completion of Hajj earns a pilgrim the title of "Hajji" or "Hajjah."

Umrah, although voluntary, is also highly regarded in Islam. It provides an opportunity for Muslims to seek closeness to Allah, engage in acts of worship, and experience the serenity of the holy sites. Performing Umrah carries spiritual rewards and is believed to expiate sins.

In conclusion, Hajj and Umrah are distinct Islamic pilgrimages, each with its own significance, timing, and rituals. Hajj is obligatory and takes place during a specific time frame, while Umrah is voluntary and can be performed at any time except during Hajj. Both pilgrimages offer spiritual benefits, allowing Muslims to strengthen their faith, seek forgiveness, and gain proximity to Allah. Whether one undertakes Hajj or Umrah, the experience is undoubtedly a profound and transformative journey.
