Eid al Adha

The blessed days of Dhul Hijjah are among the greatest days of the year, in which righteous deeds are especially beloved to Allah ﷻ.

We encourage you to increase Salāh, Qur’an Recitation, Dhikr, Sadaqah, Fasting (optional for first 9 days – but especially the Day of ʿArafah), and send abundant Salawāt upon the Beloved Messenger ﷺ.

Ya Allah ﷻ to allow us to witness these sacred days with īmān, sincerity and good health, to accept our worship, forgive our shortcomings, and bring ease, relief and unity to the Ummah.

Reminder, we are accepting Qurbani meat during the Eid days to help local people in need.
