Islamic Months - Tumblr Posts

📍Do you know which Islamic Month is it?❓

It is Dhul Qa’dah, one of the 4 sacred months!

💎 The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Time has come back to its original state which it had when Allah created the Heavens and the Earth; the year is twelve months, four of which are sacred. Three of them are in succession; Dhul-Qa'dah, Dhul-Hijjah and Al-Muharram, and (the fourth being) Rajab Mudar (named after the tribe of Mudar as they used to respect this month) which stands between Jumada (ath-thani) and Sha'ban."

📚Sahih al-Bukhari 4662

The Sacred Months were honored in Arab society even in the Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic period). From the narrations we know that the Arabs used to cease all kinds of fighting during the sacred months of Dhul-Q’adah, Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab. They used to stop fighting, causing any mischief, killing, and looting etc. during these four sacred months. Even if they would see the killer of their father in front of them, they would not hurt him due to the sanctity of these months.

Sadly, we are so unaware of these months that they come and go without us noticing them, let alone honoring them.

We should honor these months that Allahﷻ has made obligatory upon us to honor.

✏️ To do so, we need to make sure that we refrain from abusing anyone physically, verbally and/or mentally

We should also refrain from all the actions that can lead to fighting, such as

⛔️ backbiting

⛔️ negative thinking

⛔️ harsh language

⛔️ jealousy

⛔️ animosity

etc.

We should also do good deeds so that Allahﷻ is pleased with us such as

✅ Fasting

✅ Praying

✅ Reciting Qur’an

✅ Enjoining good

✅ Forbidding evil

✅ Strengthening family ties

✅ Repenting for our sins

✅ Remembering Allah ﷻ excessively

✅ Giving charity

and more...

🎯Goal: Strive to do all the deeds that please Allah ﷻ and refrain from harming others which can lead to His displeasure...
