Eid-ul-Adhaa Official Announcement

Eid-ul-Adhaa Official Announcement

Assalaamu Alaikum Respected Brothers and Sisters, 

The Eid in the Park team would like to give you the good news that Eid-ul-Aadhaa will be on Tuesday 16th Novemeber 2010. This announcement is based on the moon being sighted in Saudi Arabia

With the begining of Dhul-Hijjah starting Sunday 7th November, we enter upon the best 10 days of the year to perform good deeds. Ibn Abbaas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said: There are no days during which good deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days; meaning the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. They inquired: Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah? He said: Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah, unless one goes out for Jihad sacrificing both his life and property and returning with neither. (Al-Bukhaari)


We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you of fasting the fasting of the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah (Monday 15th November) - The day of 'Arafah. Fasting this day has immense reward, namely it results in the two years worth of sins being forgiven! - the previous year and forthcoming year as was reported from the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam)
