Wenk van die week: Onthou Allah in die dae van Dhul Hijjah

Die profeet SAW het gesê “There are no days that are greater before Allah or in which good deeds are more beloved to Him, than these ten days, so recite a great deal of tahleel, takbeer and tahmeed during them.” [Ahmad, 7/224]

The days of dhul Hijjah are now almost upon us, and this is a time when we should increase in our worship to our Lord as has been commanded to us. During these 10 dae, the sunnah is to recite the following as much as possible:

Takbeer: Allahu Akbar – God is most great

Tahmeed: Al-hamdu Lillah – All praises be to God

Tahleel: Laa ilaha ill-Allah -There is no god but Allah

Tasbeeh: Subhaan-Allah – Glory be to God

One is also permitted to recite the takbeer as follows (authentic):

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, laa ilaaha ill-Allah, WAllahu akbar, wa Lillaah il-hamd.

Which translates as: Allah is die Grootste, Allah is die Grootste, daar is geen god behalwe Allah nie; Allah is die Grootste en aan Allah kom lof toe.

Whatever you do, don’t forget your remembrance of Allah during the coming days of Dhul Hijjah, and don’t forget to make dua for yourself and your brothers and sisters around the world who are suppressed.
