Just as the recitation of the Qur’ān is the hallmark of Ramaḍān, dhikr is the hallmark of the blessed days of Dhul Ḥijjah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “There are no days greater in the sight of Allah, or in which good deeds are more beloved to Him than these 10 days. So recite a great deal of tahlīl (لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ), takbīr (اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ) and taḥmīd ( اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ”) (Aḥmad). #Takbir #Tahmid #Tahlil #lailahaillallah #AllahuAkbar
لَّا تُشْرِكْ بِى شَيْـًٔا Do not associate anything with Me as My partner • The first thing Ibrāhīm (ʿalayhis-salām) is commanded to do is stay away from shirk. The Kaʿbah was built so that Allah Alone could be worshipped. Similarly, the purpose of ḥajj is to strengthen your tawḥīd: affirming the Oneness of Allah and worshipping Him Alone. طَهِّرْ بَيْتِىَ purify My House •This includes both spiritual and physical purification: cleansing the House of Allah from figurative filth such as shirk, disbelief, and sins, as well as from physical impurities. Reflect: How can you act upon both the ‘spiritual’ and ‘physical’ purification? Think of a specific example for each one. بَيْتِىَ My House Ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh) explains that hearts are deeply drawn to the Kaʿbah. People are willing to sacrifice their wealth and sometimes even their lives to make this sacred journey. People in the past would travel very far and the journey would be full of difficulties. Even now, people save up for many years to get a glimpse of the Ka’bah. The secret behind this deep love lies in the fact that Allah (subḥānahū wa taʿālā) has attributed this House to Himself: “Baytī: My House.” لِلطَّآئِفِينَ وَٱلْقَآئِمِينَ وَٱلرُّكَّعِ ٱلسُّجُودِ for those who do ṭawāf, stand (in ṣalāh), and bow and prostrate themselves • Part of honouring the ḥaram is to fill your time there with the acts of worship mentioned in this āyah: ṭawāf, qiyām, rukūʿ and sujūd. Act: Do as much ṭawāf as you can, and pray plenty of ṣalāh in al-Masjid al-Ḥarām. #SurahalHajj #SurahHajj #Hajj #Quran #Tadabbur

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “There are no days greater in the sight of Allah, or in which good deeds are more beloved to Him than these ten days. So recite a great deal of tahlīl (لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ), takbīr (اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ) and taḥmīd (اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ).” (Aḥmad) In these blessed days, we should also be consistent with the daily dhikr prescribed by our beloved Messenger of Allah ﷺ, such as the morning and evening adhkār, the adhkār before sleeping and the adhkār after ṣalāh.
