There is a gentle and beneficial reminder for us to keep in mind: Allah, exalted be He, has honored these days—the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah—and He loves to see us honor them as well. You may already be accustomed to performing good deeds such as giving charity, reading the Qur’an, teaching beneficial knowledge, supporting the causes of Muslims in Gaza, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and doing acts of righteousness in general. When you continue engaging in these deeds during these blessed days, accompany them with the intention of honoring what Allah has magnified. Doing so increases your reward for them. In other words, even if you are already doing these acts by habit or routine, having the intention that you are doing them out of reverence for the sacred symbols of Allah will elevate your reward. “That [is so]. And whoever honors the symbols of Allah—indeed, it is from the piety of hearts” (Qur’an translated meaning 22:32) Undoubtedly, a wise and mindful Muslim seizes opportunities for salvation and elevation in rank, and thus strives even more earnestly during these days than at other times. *We ask Allah to aid us and you in obeying Him and in worshipping Him in the best manner.* 📝𝐃𝐫.
