Hajj 1432/2011, with Habib ‘Umar

ahmadu Llaha, wa usalli wa usallim ‘ala al-mab’uthi bil huda, sayyidina Muhammad rasuli Llah, wa alihi ash-shurafa’, wa ba’du:

as-salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatu Llahi wa barakatuh,

We are about to enter the blessed month of Dhu`l-Hijjah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that there are no days in which righteous actions are more beloved to Allah than the first ten days of this month.[1] For that reason some scholars have ruled that these days are better than the final ten days of Ramadan, although the nights of Ramadan are superior to these nights. Allah Himself swears by “the Ten Nights” in Surat al-Fajr, which is sufficient evidence of their greatness. Most of the scholars say that these are the first ten nights (and days) of Dhu’l-Hijjah.

Duas for ‘Arafah — from Ahadith and Habib ‘Umar’s Recommendation

Habib ‘Umar [may Allah preserve him], having completed his ziyarah of Egypt — visitting the numerous resting-places of its saints, as well as a number of its living scholars — has arrived in Jeddah; he will be preparing and helping others prepare for the season of Hajj, which has arrived upon us, in addition to undertaking the pilgramage himself. We shall record and post from the trip (via the live stream) whatever is within our ability – of course, only Allah has the Power, with Him do we seek assistance, and upon Him do we depend.
