The month of Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was sent down,
a guidance for the people, and clear verses of guidance and criterion.

Recommended Fasts for Zul Hijjah 2010


Here are suggestions for dates for doing your fasts during the month of Zul Hijjah. Although fasting during Zul Hijjah is not mandatory on Muslims, it reaps many benefits for those doing it.

The Holy Prophet, Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam, has said:
"One fast during these days is equal to the fasting of one complete year, and the worship of one night during this period is equal to the worship in the "Lailatul-Qadr".

It has also been mentioned that there are four months that are sacred in the Islamic calendar. They are Rajab, Zul Qa'dah, the first ten days of Zul Hijjah, and Muharram.

If we are able to, then we should make the extra effort to perform the fast during Zul Hijjah.

Please note that the 1st day of Zul Hijjah 2010 = November 7, 2010 (Sunday)


Recommended Dates for Fasting During Zul Hijjah:

5th day of Zul Hijjah = November 11, 2010 (Thursday)
6th day of Zul Hijjah = November 12, 2010 (Friday)
7th day of Zul Hijjah = November 13, 2010 (Saturday)
9th day of Zul Hijjah = November 15, 2010 (Monday)

Islamic Calendar 2010


"So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom, shall see it,
And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom, shall see it."
[Holy Quran 99:7-8]

Special Ramadan Series

Dear Reader, Assalaamu’alaikum.

Ramadan Mubarak. We wish you a blessed and productive Ramadan! Make no mistake about it - keeping the fast and increasing our acts of worship during this blessed month is not an easy task. The physical demands of balancing work or school with fasting all day, feeling fatigued and less effective than you normally are, waking up for Suhoor, praying Teraweeh and Tahajjud prayers, dealing with sleep deficits.

But the last thing we would want is to let Ramadan pass us by without doing all that we aim and desire to. Do not allow yourself to feel guilty or regretful when Ramadan passes.

The Ramadan Series will send you emails with practical tips on how to gain and maintain the physical and spiritual energy necessary to embark on increased religious oligations so that you will reap the benefits from this blessed month. This includes special Ramadan duas to say during the month. Do sign-up today!
