The Virtues of Dhul Hijjah and the Day of Arafah

In this timely and heartfelt khutbah, Sheikh Salahadin reflects on the immense virtues of the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah and reminds believers not to let these blessed days pass without increasing in worship and good deeds. He explains that these days are among the most beloved to Allah, encouraging the community to increase in dhikr, fasting, charity, salah, and sincere acts of devotion.

Sheikh Salahadin emphasizes the spiritual power of simple acts such as saying SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, reminding listeners that even the angels carrying the Throne of Allah glorify Him with these words. He also highlights the immense reward of fasting the Day of Arafah, describing it as an opportunity for Allah to forgive the sins of both the previous and coming year.

The khutbah also addresses the recent tragedy in San Diego, condemning violence and hatred against Muslims while calling the community to remain vigilant, united, and proactive in protecting masajid and educating others about the true message of Islam. Sheikh Salahadin reminds believers that Islam is a religion of mercy, peace, and guidance (not fear or destruction) and urges Muslims to be strong ambassadors of their faith through character, action, and sincere worship.
