AssalamuAlaykum,
Pray that all of you are doing well and resting if you are taking your summer break.
As you know, we are in the month of Dhul Hijjah, and June 27th (Tuesday) is the Day of Arafah and Wednesday is Eid Al Adha.
The Prophet (SAW) said: “There is no day in which Allah sets free more souls from the fire of hell than on the day of Arafah.” (Muslim). Fasting is a way to focus on your prayers and seek forgiveness and protection from the Hellfire.
In addition, “Fasting on the day of Arafah expiates the sins from the past and coming year.” (Muslim). Fasting is one of the most favorable acts of worship for Allah (SWT).
Eid Al Adha helps us to remember the strong belief of Ibrahim and his son Ismail (as). As it is mentioned in Quran: "And, when he (Ismail) was old enough to work with him (Ibrahim), he said, " O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am sacrificing you, so what you think". He (Ismail) said, "O my father! Do as you are commanded. If Allah wills, you shall find me of the patient". (Quran 37/102). Also, it is important to know that Allah (swt) says " Their meat will not reach Allah, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you" (Quran, 22/37).
Wednesday is EID al Adha. We will have an EID prayer starting at 9:30am (the first 15min is Takbeer, then EID prayer and EID potluck breakfast will follow at the Muslim Campus House.
MSA will provide drinks, and eating utensils. Please join us if you are in town and let family and friends know. JazakaAllah.
Here is where you can donate to our Muslim Campus House. JazakaAllah.
