9 DhulHijjah 10 AH (9 March 632) at Mount Arafat Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) undertook his farewell pilgrimage in the year 10 A.H. His farewell pilgrimage to Mecca is one of the most significant historical events in the minds of Muslims, for it was the first and last pilgrimage performed by Prophet Muhammad, as well as being the model for performing the fifth pillar of Islam, Hajj.

In the name of Allah the lord who created the creations and chose elites among his creations. The lord who created the months of the year and made them twelve and chose four of the twelve as the sacred months. Allah says in the holy Qur’an “ indeed the number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve in the book of Allah the day he created the heavens and the earth, among them there are four sacred months” The messenger (P.B.U.H) of Allah also made statement about the sanctity of these four months.

VIRTUE OF THE TEN DAYS OF DHU’L-HIJJAH Praise be to Allah who created times and made some times better than others, some months and days and nights better than others. Allah created the days of the week and made them seven and he created the months of the year and made them twelve; and chose four of them as the sacred months of the year as He has mentioned in the holy book. “Verily! The number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve months since the day he created the heavens and the earth; among them are four sacred months” The four sacred months are Rajab, Dhu’l-Quada, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram. Dhu’l-Hijjah is the last month of the Islamic calendar and it is also the month of the hajj as the name entails. This month is one of the sacred months because in it is one of the greatest seasons of worship in Islam; the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah are considered as the best days of the year without an exception, not even the last ten days of Ramadan; however, the last ten n...

ISLAM AND SDGs Plant a tree, Get a reward and Save the planet    Allah says in the holy Quran  “And certainly We have explained in this Qur'an every kind of matter (examples) to mankind”    The seventeen development goals are major concerns in Islam because of the role they play in the development of humanity. There are some Muslims who thing that the SDGs have nothing to do with Islam because they think that the goals were not mentioned in the Quran and the hadith; that is the wrong concept, all the goals have one way or the other been mentioned in Islam either directly or indirectly in the Quran or the sunnah as quoted in the above Quranic verse; therefore, Muslims have more role to play in achieving the goals because their religion was the first religion to make mention of them for more than one thousand four hundred years ago. In achieving the goals, let Muslims not forget that they have to achieve the goals very constructively according...
