THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 3rd day of Dhul-Hijjah, 1444AH (Wednesday, 21st June, 2023). SOME GOOD DEEDS IN THESE BLESSED 10 DAYS continues. BismilLah.

Do not miss praying Eid Salah.
Eid Salah is one of the ways we show our Islamic identity as a community and is therefore a very important act of worship for all Muslims to partake in. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) always attended Eid Salah, as did his companions after he had passed away. He encouraged everyone to attend, even menstruating women - who are unable to perform the prayer itself but can still share in the blessings of this gathering.

Give a Prophetic Qurbani
Abu Talhah (ra) reported, ‘The Prophet (saw) sacrificed for the one who could not sacrifice from his Ummah, one who bore witness to the Oneness of ALLAH and [his] Prophethood’. [Tabarani and Ahmad]

During Eid, the Prophet (saw) would offer an additional sacrifice on behalf of someone in his Ummah that could not afford to. ALLAH says, ‘There has come to you a Messenger of ALLAH from among yourselves, who is distressed by the losses you sustain, who is ardently desirous of your welfare and is tender and merciful to those that believe’. [The Noble Qur’an, 9:128].

SubhanAllah, this generous act of our beloved Messenger of ALLAH is an incredible example of His mercy to His Ummah that ALLAH refers to in the above ayah, to sacrifice for his Ummah and cover them till the Day of Judgement.

You too can follow this beautiful Sunnah and give an extra Qurbani to maximise your reward during Dhul-Hijjah. Not only will you be reviving a forgotten Sunnah, but you will be also doubling your impact by feeding even more families a rare meal with meat during the days of Eid-al-Adha. May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
