*Four to Prioritize on the Day of Arafah*
1. Takbir | Fill your tongue with the remembrance of Allah after every prayer starting from Fajr of the Day of Arafah until the 13th of Dhul Hijjah after Asr.
اللّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلِلهِ الْحَمْدُ
2. Fasting { For those not in Hajj, fasting the Day of Arafah wipes away the sins of the previous and coming year by Allah’s mercy.
3. Dua | This is the greatest day for supplication. Ask Allah for everything, forgiveness, guidance, provision, steadfastness, and Jannah. Make dua with certainty and sincerity.
4. Tahlil | Repeat abundantly the best words ever spoken by the Prophets. It renews faith, strengthens the heart, and draws you closer to Allah.
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ.
May Allah allow us to maximize the Day of Arafah and accept from us all. Ameen.
Friday: May 22nd 2026: Jummah Khutbah
Alhamdulillah, Allah Subhanahu Ta’la blessed us once again with an attendance of Jummah Khutbah and prayer in these blessed days of Dhul Hijjah.
Today’s was an important Khutbah reminding us of the importance of Ikhlas (Sincerity) in all our actions and deeds. Imam Hassan thoroughly explained how all our deeds from the smallest to the biggest are deemed worthy by their weight on the scale, and the weight of the action or deed is determined through the sincerity of intention.
Using many reference from Quran and Sunnah, Imam Hassan beautifully explained how just a moment of complete sincerity in our worship and good actions can be enough for our salvation, InshaAllah.
May Allah Subhanahu Ta’la grant us complete اخلاص in all our sayings and actions and may He accept them all out of His Mercy & Grace and grant us all His Utmost Qurb in this world and the hereafter, Ameen Ameen.
*Reminders:*
- Abu Qatadah Al-Ansari (RAA) narrated, ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about fasting on the day of Arafah (the 9th of the month of Dhul Hijjah). He replied, "Fasting on the day of Arafah is an expiation for the preceding year and the following year.” (Muslim)

MashaAllah, Alhamdulillah, today’s was an immensely important Khutbah reminder for all of us, especially for parents and fathers, delivered eloquently and thoroughly by our Shaykh Dr. Ahmed Samir.
He reminded us how important it is for us to have our best character and manners towards our family. Referencing many Quranic verses and Ahadith, he fully explained how important it is for us to control ourselves when we are angered by anything, to have immense patience with our children and spouses, and to live with them with mercy and kindness.
May Allah Subhanahu Ta’la grant us all complete guidance in this matter and make our اخلاق (manners and character) the best towards our families and towards our communities, Ameen Ameen
