It's the end of the month of October! Alhamdulilah, that signifies that we are more or less had gone through a month of yet another university life. Isn't that coool? Time flies so fast that we don't even know we are just going to celebrate another of our big day! It's dzulhijjah. It's aidiladha and it's qurban and it's hajj!!!! It's a gift from Allah.
Sometimes we are too engross in living our own life without loooking back and ponder on the great stories that happened during this month. Many of us know the story of Prophet Ibrahim and his son Prophet Ismail and many of us know that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) gave his last sermon in this blessed month of dzulhijjah. It's like we are playing the ''Through the green glass door" game (Am I right? :P) We hear the story, but we can't comprehend what's the story is trying to tell us. (right?)
Enough said, now here we go , what we should know about this month:
Meaning of the word Zulhiijjah -The month of "Hajj" (Pilgrimage)
About the month of Zulhijjah: The fifth pillar of lslam "Hajj" is performed in this sacred month.
The first ten days of Zulhijjah are the most virtuous days in this whole month, Hajj is performed amongst these ten days. Ahadeeth related to Zulhijjah - Hadhrat Abu Haraira (RA) reports from the Holy Prophet (SAW):
"Amongst all days there are none better to engage in sole worship of Allah than in the tendays of Zulhijjah, To observe a fast on any of these days is equivalent to fasting throughout the year, to actively engage in prayer and worship throughout any of these nights holds such rewarding values levelling with "Night of Power" (Laylatul-Qad'r)- Tirmizi"
Events of Zulhijjah:
1) The Prophet (SAW) performed the farewell Hajj and gave the historic sermon known as the "Farewell Sermon".
2) Egypt was conquered by the army sent by Hadhart Umar (RA).
3) Uthmaan (RA) was appointed the third Caliph.
4) Also "Bay'ate-Aqabah" took place.
