🌟 The Best Days of the Entire Year are Almost Here! 🌟

Updated: Jun 10

Dear HOPE Friends,

💡 Did you know that the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah 🕋 are equal to the last 10 nights of Ramadan ☪️ in terms of significance?

📆 This year, Dhul-Hijjah is expected to begin at Maghrib on June 7th, 2024.

If you are not able to perform Hajj 🕋, here are some beloved deeds to perform during these special days:

🔸 Fast: 🚫

Fast the first 9 days if possible, but especially on the day of Arafah (the day before Eid): “Fasting on the day of Arafah is an expiation for the preceding year and the following year.” [Muslim]

🔸 Recite Zhikr: 📿

Recite tasbeeh (SubhanAllah), tahmeed (Alhumdolillah), tahleel (La illaha illa-llah), and takbeer (Allahu akbar) sincerely and as often as you can.

🔸 Give Charity: ❤️‍🩹

Give Sadaqa to those less fortunate.

🔸 Read Quran: 📖

Increase your recitation and understanding of Allah SWT's Holy Book.

🔸 Perform Qurbani: 🐄

Honor the tradition of our great father, Ibrahim alay his salaam by sacrificing an animal. Qurbani meat is usually distributed as 1/3 to you and your family, 1/3 to family and friends, 1/3 to the poor.

🌹Join HOPE in gifting meat 🐄 to underprivileged people throughout Pakistan 🇵🇰 - for the vast majority of our beneficiaries, this is the only time of year they are able to enjoy meat!
