Why These Days Matter As Muslims prepare for Eid al-Adha, many are unaware that the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah are among the most beloved days to Allah. These days are more rewarding than even the last 10 nights of Ramadan—except for Laylatul Qadr. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ made it clear: no other days offer the same level of reward, forgiveness, and closeness to Allah. This is a divine opportunity that comes only once a year. What Makes the First 10 Days of Dhul Hijjah So Special ? 1. Allah Himself Swears by These Days “By the dawn. And [by] the ten nights.” (Surah Al-Fajr 89:1–2) The Mufassirun (scholars of Tafsir) say these 10 nights refer to the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah. 2. The Prophet ﷺ Called Them the Best Days “There are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” (Sahih Bukhari) The Sahabah were surprised and asked, “Not even Jihad?” The Prophet ﷺ said: “Not even Jihad, unless a man goes out for Jihad with his life and...

Ghusl, or ritual purification, is essential in Islam. It’s required when a Muslim experiences major impurity (janabah), menstruation, or childbirth. However, despite its importance, many people are not fully aware of the correct way to perform it. This post will walk you through the correct way to perform ghusl, based on the Sunnah, and highlight some common mistakes that many Muslims unknowingly make. Part 1: Is Every Ghusl the Same? Ghusl generally involves the same actions, but intentions (niyyah) and circumstances (e.g., after menstruation or janabah) can influence the process. General Ghusl: For major impurity (janabah) such as after sexual intercourse or wet dreams. Ghusl for Menstruation and Postnatal Bleeding: After menstruation or post-childbirth bleeding (nifas), the process of ghusl may also require additional considerations. Ghusl for Jummah (Friday Prayer): It’s highly recommended to perform ghusl before attending Jummah prayers, though it’s not obligatory. Ev...

Eternal Youth, Beauty, and Health Women in Jannah will be given everlasting youth , beauty, and perfect health. The Prophet ﷺ said: "The women of this world will have superiority over the hoor just as the outer lining of a garment has superiority over the inner lining."

Everlasting Peace, No Pain, No Periods, No Sadness In Paradise, there is no sickness, no menstruation, no childbirth, no jealousy, no tiredness, no depression — only peace and joy. “Therein you shall have all that your inner selv...
