A detailed walkthrough of the only Hajj performed by our beloved Prophet ﷺ How it all began In 9 Hijri, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq R.A. led the first Muslim caravan for Hajj. Then in 10 Hijri, Allah ﷻ gave the command to His Prophet ﷺ - and this became the one and only Hajj of Rasulullah ﷺ, known as Hajjat ul Wida (the Farewell Pilgrimage). 9 Hijri aur 10 Hijri - yeh do alag saal hain, jaise hum kehte hain 2024 aur 2025. Yani: - 9 Hijri (poora ek saal) - Hazrat Abu Bakr R.A. gaye - Agle saal yaani 10 Hijri mein - Prophet ﷺ ko Allah ka hukm mila 2: Key Dates of Hajj: The important days of Zil Hajj 8 Zil Hajj: Tarveeha - The day of watering camels before the journey to Mina 9 Zil Hajj: Arafat - The greatest day of Hajj; pilgrims stand on the plains of Arafat 10 Zil Hajj: Yawm ul Nahar / Eid ul Adha - The day of Qurbani 11, 12, 13 Zil HajjAyyam ul Tashreeq - The days of Rami (stoning the Jamarat - symbolically pelting Shaytan) Story of the Jamarat: Why do we stone the three Jamarat? The Jamarat commemorate the test of Hazrat Ibrahim A.S. When Allah ﷻ commanded him to sacrifice his most beloved - his own son - Shaytan appeared at three different locations, taking different forms each time, trying to mislead and discourage Hazrat Ibrahim A.S. Each time Shaytan approached, Hazrat Ibrahim A.S. drove him away by throwing stones. The three spots where this happened are now the three Jamarat. At the third and final Jamarat, Hazrat Ibrahim A.S. was fully prepared to carry out Allah's command - and Allah ﷻ replaced his son with a dumba to be sacrificed in his place. (This is why pilgrims stone the Jamarat on 11th, 12th, and 13th Zil Hajj - to revive the Sunnah of Hazrat Ibrahim A.S. and symbolically reject Shaytan.) The Journey - Day by Day: From Madinah to Makkah The Prophet ﷺ departed with approximately 12,000 companions from Madinah 25 Zil Qa'dah (Sat): Prophet ﷺ departed from Madinah and reached Zul Hulaifa (Meeqat) 26–27 (Sun–Mon): Stay at Zul Hulaifa

Assalam o alikum Hope you all are doing well! I'm finally back in this community after being away for quite a while. To be honest, due to some personal reasons and a bit of a lack of consistency, I fell off track but I am officially back! Insha'Allah I am locking in to be much more productive, engaged, and consistent here moving forward. Looking forward to catching up with you all and crushing some goals together! "The Comeback is Always Stronger Than the Recess"✨ Ya Allah, give us steadfastness when our motivation fades, grant us energy when our bodies feel heavy, and fill our hearts with content and peace. Bless our pens, our words, our studies, and our daily efforts. Keep us under Your shadow of protection always Ameen

Sorry 🙏 I wasn’t able to journal for almost the entire month of March. Especially in the last week of Ramadan, I felt lazy and unmotivated—I just didn’t feel like doing anything. Many times I pushed myself to start, but I couldn’t stay consistent. My routine was also not well structured. However, now my routine is back on track. Insha’Allah, from now on I will stay consistent with journaling, learning, and execution. During Ramadan, I helped a friend get a job, and the very next day Allah blessed me with a great opportunity. They were looking for a Media Buyer, and it has always been my wish to work under a highly experienced media buyer and learn from them. Alhamdulillah, Allah gave me that opportunity. They are very supportive and focused on my growth, and the work environment is very relaxed and enjoyable. They also provided me with a paid course, which Insha’Allah I will complete by the end of this month. Currently, I am working around 2–3 hours daily as a Media Buyer for this company, and also working full-time as a Marketing Associate for a US-based company, with working hours from 7:00 PM to 4:00 AM. April Goals (Insha’Allah): - I will become eligible for the Paid Community Scholarship. - I will fully optimize my Upwork profile and start practicing with sample (dummy) bids. - By the end of the month, I will begin submitting real bids on Upwork. - I will renovate my room and create a proper, organized workspace. - I will start studying the translation of the Qur’an. - I will complete the recitation of 15 chapters (paras) of the Qur’an by the end of the month. - I will improve my recitation by listening to Sheikh Al-Shuraim for 20 minutes daily. - I will complete the following playlists by Furqan Qureshi: Bani Israel, Dhul-Qarnayn, and A Journey to the End of the World. - I will watch or listen to one podcast daily from industry experts. - I will improve my English communication by listening to at least 30 minutes of English content every day.

Hope you all are doing well! I just wanted to check in with everyone and ask how was your Ramadan? And how was your Eid? 🤍 ALHAMDULLILAH, my Ramadan went really well. I came for Umrah during Ramadan, and I’m still in Madinah right now. Insha ALLAH, I’ll be back in Karachi in the first week of April. Once I return, we’ll start bringing a lot more energy into our community again, lnsha ALLAH. We’re planning to restart and improve many things, including: - Live sessions - Office hours - More community activities - Better support and interaction for everyone But before that, I’d genuinely love to hear from all of you 💬 Tell me: - How was your Ramadan? - How was your Eid? - What have you been up to lately? - What are you currently working on? - Are you facing any difficulties or challenges right now? - Is there anything you’d like more help or guidance with inside the community? Feel free to share openly I’d love to know how everyone is doing ❤️
