Dear Brothers and Sisters, can you believe it – the year has flown past (mashAllah) and the month of Dhul Hijjah (& Hajj) are nearly upon us. I have been wanting to release a dedicated Hajj (& Umrah) Notebook and Pocketbook for a while now, and Alhamdulillah this year I am very excited to share this new project with you. Dedicated pages for the Notebook and Pocketbook will be out soon (inshAllah), but in the meantime all the Hajj Workshop resources (including these new books) can be found on the Hajj Workshop 2016 page.

Did you know,

That “fasting on the day of Arafat” (i.e. 9th Dhul Hijjah), “which immediately precedes the day of the Eid of Sacrifice” (i.e. Eid Al-Adha), “is also recommended, except for those who are doing the pilgrimage”. [1], [2]
