Subject: 📽️Salam Friend here is how the Prophet spent this day

 

Asalamu Alaykum warahamatullahi wa barakatuhu Friend


Thank you so much for your awesome response to what we’re doing in Dhul Hijjah this year. Your response to our Prophet’s Hajj campaign has been beautiful: while people are not able to do hajj and it just doesn’t feel quite the same, in many ways it gives us a chance to think more deeply about Hajj and how the Prophet did it in his time. 


You’ve told us that you’re finding this Prophet’s Hajj journey moving, enlightening and inspiring. Thank you! 


This is the day that it all started. Today, 1388 years ago, was the first day of Hajj. 

In our next video in the journey, we look at the first portion of Hajj: the first day at Mina followed by the incredible day of ‘Arafah: the greatest day of all.  


It was on this day that he delivered his famous farewell sermon, heard by some 100,000 people: one of the greatest gatherings of believers in the lifetime of the Prophet, if not the greatest.


Share it with friends, family, children - this is a great way to educate those around you about the eminence of these days,Friend.

The opportunities of Arafah 


It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:


“There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of ‘Arafah. He comes close and expresses His pride to the angels, saying, ‘What do these people want?’”


The greatest day of the year is tomorrow. It’s virtues and blessings are numerous and open to those who seek them. There is great reward for fasting, making du’a and doing all manner of good deeds - and one of the deeds most beloved to Allah is giving Sadaqah.


Don’t hold back this Arafah, Friend, and make sure your Sadaqah counts by giving generously - you have everything to gain, and literally nothing to lose.


Wasalam,

The NZF team
