[Announcement - Moon Sighting of Dzulhijjah]
Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,
Dear respected brothers and sisters,
Based on the moon-sighting announcement from KMF, it has been confirmed that the 1st of Dzulhijjah begins tonight after Maghrib. Accordingly, Eid al-Adha will be on Wednesday, 27 May 2026, in shaa Allah.
The first ten days of Dzulhijjah are among the greatest and most blessed days of the year. Allah ﷻ says:
“By the dawn, and by the ten nights.”
Surah Al-Fajr 89:1–2
Many scholars explain that “the ten nights” refer to the first ten days of Dzulhijjah. The Prophet ﷺ also said:
“There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.”
The companions asked, “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah?” He ﷺ replied, “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah, except for a man who goes out with himself and his wealth and returns with nothing.”
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
Therefore, we encourage everyone to make the most of these blessed days by increasing in good deeds, such as fasting, giving charity, reciting the Qur’an, making dhikr, seeking forgiveness, making du’a, and helping others. It is especially recommended to fast during the first nine days, particularly the Day of Arafah, as the Prophet ﷺ said:
“Fasting on the Day of Arafah expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year.”
Narrated by Muslim
Let us welcome these blessed days with sincere hearts and strive to gain the mercy and pleasure of Allah ﷻ through righteous actions.
May Allah accept our deeds, forgive our shortcomings, and allow us to benefit from the blessings of Dzulhijjah.
Wassalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
