About Dhu al-Hijjah
Significance & Historical Context
This month is the legacy of Prophet Ibrahim (AS). It marks the completion of the Islamic year and the completion of the Revelation during the Farewell Pilgrimage. It is defined by absolute sacrifice (Udhiya).
The theme is 'Taslim' (Submission). We recreate the submission of Ibrahim (AS) and Ismail (AS). It is the final spiritual exam of the Hijri year. If Ramadan is the 'Month of the Quran', Dhu al-Hijjah is the 'Month of the Hajj'.
Recommended Acts
- Fasting the first nine days, especially the 9th (Arafah).
- Reciting the 'Takbirat' (Allahu Akbar...) loudly in the streets and homes.
- Performing the 'Udhiya' (Qurbani) for those who are financially able.
