It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ"‏ مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَيَّامِ ‏"‏ يَعْنِي الْعَشْرَ ‏.‏ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: ‏"‏ وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ. إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَىْءٍ ‏"‏

“There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days,” meaning the (first) ten days of Dhul- Hijjah. They said: “O Messenger of Allah! Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah?” He said: “Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah, unless a man goes out with himself and his wealth and does not bring anything back.”

—Sunan Ibn Majah 1727

May this auspicious occasion of Eid bring us nothing but abundance of blessings, prosperity and love. May Allāh ﷻ accept our prayers, sacrifices and reward it immensely. This day marks a day of gratitude, reflection and celebration and I pray that Allāh ﷻ guide us with His light throughout this ephemeral journey in this dunya. May Allāh ﷻ shower his choicest blessings on us and our families—strengthening the bond of love and admiration. Praying for the best outcomes in our endeavors with the mercy of Allāh ﷻ. Let this Eid be a reminder for us to keep our Iman steadfast on Deen and allow us to follow the footsteps of Hazrat Ibrahim (a.s) with respect to his unwavering faith in Allāh Almighty. May Allāh ﷻ gift us Jannah. Ameen Sum Ameen.

Eid Mubarak everyone!

Remember me in your prayers

This world isn't permanent. These worries aren't permanent. These moments of happiness aren't permanent. These sorrows aren't permanent. These achievements aren't permanent. These sicknesses aren't permanent. These failures aren't permanent. Your life isn't permanent. My life isn't permanent.

You know what is permanent? The unlimited mercy of Allāh ﷻ. The Throne of Allāh ﷻ. The Forgiving attribute of Allāh ﷻ. The immeasurable love of Allāh ﷻ. That out of all the creation of this universe, we are his favorites. That we are created in our best mould by the One and Only Fashioner. Al Mussawir.

So, close that distance between your face and the ground and completely submit yourself into His ﷻ will and decree. Your life is going to change for the best. And In Sha Allah, your Hereafter will thank you for this change.

Abu Ad-Dardh narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا شَيْءٌ أَثْقَلُ فِي مِيزَانِ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ خُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَبْغَضُ الْفَاحِشَ الْبَذِيءَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

"Nothing is heavier on the believer's Scale on the Day of Judgment than good character. For indeed Allah, Most High, is angered by the shameless obscene person."

—Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2002

Abu Qatadah reported:

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked about fasting the day of Arafat and he said, “It will expiate the sins of the previous and upcoming years.” Then, the Prophet was asked about fasting the day of Ashura and he said, “It will expiate the sins of the past year.”

—Sahih Muslim 1162
