From Zilhajj to Muharram: A Time to Stay Close to Allah
The month of Zilhajj is almost over. Eid ul Adha has passed. Many people performed Hajj, and others fasted, prayed, and did good deeds during the first ten days. But now what? Should we go back to our normal routine?
The answer is: No!
This is the time to continue our journey of faith. The next month, Muharram, is also very special. It is one of the four sacred months in Islam.
Letβs learn how we can keep our connection with Allah strong β even after Eid.
π 1. Zilhajj and Hajj: A Month of Worship
Zilhajj was full of blessings. The first ten days were the best days of the year. Many Muslims gave Qurbani, made dua, and remembered the story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his son Ismail (AS).
If you made efforts during Zilhajj, donβt stop now. Allah loves those who keep doing good all year.
π 2. Muharram: A New Beginning
Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar. It is a month of peace, fasting, and reflection.
The Prophet ο·Ί said:
“The best fast after Ramadan is in the month of Allah β Muharram.” (Muslim)
Fasting on the 10th of Muharram (Ashura) is a great reward. It removes the sins of the past year.
π― 3. Lessons from Karbala
In Muharram, we also remember the story of Imam Hussain (RA), the grandson of Prophet Muhammad ο·Ί. He stood for truth and justice in the face of evil.
His sacrifice teaches us to always follow the Quran and the Sunnah, no matter how hard life gets.
π 4. A Time to Reconnect with the Quran
These sacred months remind us that life is short. We should spend time with the Book of Allah (Quran).
Hereβs what you can do:
- Start reading the Quran every day, even a few verses
- Learn the meanings and try to understand it
- Take online classes to improve your Tajweed and recitation
π’ Conclusion: Stay on the Path of Allah
Zilhajj and Muharram are not just about events in history. They are signs from Allah to wake up our hearts.
