*_DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER_*
Yaum As-sabt | 13th day of Dhul-Ḥijjah, 1447 AH | Saturday, 30th May 2026.
*_EID REFLECTIONS AND GUIDANCE_*. BismilLah.

Alhamdulillāh! All praise is due to ALLAH Azzawajal who guided us through the blessed days of Dhul-Ḥijjah and enabled us to witness and benefit from them. We ask HIM to accept our Hajj, fasting, prayers, sacrifices, charity, du‘ā, and every righteous deed performed during these sacred days.

For those whom ALLAH Azzawajal blessed with the opportunity to offer a sacrifice (Uḍḥiyah), we say Alhamdulillāh. And for those who sincerely intended to sacrifice but were unable to do so, may ALLAH Azzawajal accept their intentions and reward them according to their sincerity. May HE accept the Eid and sacrifices of all Muslims. Aameen.

ALLAH Azzawajal says:
"Say to Mankind, indeed, my Lord has guided me to a straight path, an upright religion, the way of Ibrahim, inclining toward truth. And he was not among those who associated partners with ALLAH." (Qur'an 6:161). This noble verse reminds us that the religion of all the Prophets and Messengers was submission and obedience to ALLAH Azzawajal. Although the laws given to different nations varied, their core message was the same: worship ALLAH alone and follow HIS guidance through the Messenger.

Ibrahim (ʿalayhis-salām), whose legacy we commemorate during Hajj and Eid al-Adhā, remains a shining example of complete submission, sincerity, and unwavering faith.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
"The prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one." (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, 3443; Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, 2365).
This authentic hadith confirms that all Prophets came with the same foundation of Tawḥeed, the worship of ALLAH alone, even though some aspects of their laws differed according to the needs of their communities.
As these blessed days come to an end, let us strive to preserve the good habits we developed, remain steadfast upon the straight path, and continue increasing in obedience to our Lord.
*_We ask ALLAH Azzawajal to keep guiding our hearts, protecting our Eemaan from every satanic influence, and granting us sincerity in worship until we meet HIM_*. Aameen.

Yaum al-ithnayn | 2nd day of Dhul-Ḥijjah, 1447 AH | Tuesday, 19th May 2026. *_WHY WE GO ROUND THE KAABAH 7 TIMES_*. BismilLah.

Let's continue with our studies as to; Why Seven Times Specifically. The number seven appears repeatedly in Islamic worship and creation: Seven Heavens, Seven Earths, Seven Rounds of Ṭawāf,
Seven Circuits between Ṣafā and Marwah, Seven pebbles in stoning the Jamarāt.
ALLAH Azzawajal chose this number in many acts of worship. The precise wisdom is not fully known because the reason was not revealed by ALLAH Azzawajal, but Muslims follow it because ALLAH Azzawajal and HIS Messenger ﷺ prescribed it. This is an important principle in Islam: Acts of worship are based on revelation, not human invention but as Muslims we follow what ALLAH Azzawajal and HIS Messenger have requested us to do.
The Prophet ﷺ performed ṭawāf seven times and instructed the Ummah to follow his rituals.
He said:
“Take your rites of Hajj from me.” — Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim.

In Summary
Ṭawāf around the Ka‘bah:
originates from the worship established by Abraham (AS),
was restored by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, symbolizes unity, submission, and devotion to ALLAH Azzawajal, mirrors heavenly worship, and is performed seven times because ALLAH Azzawajal legislated it through revelation.
It is not idol worship, but one of the purest manifestations of Tawḥīd, directing the heart, body, and soul entirely toward ALLAH Azzawajal. *_May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.

Yaumul ahad | 1st day of Dhul-Ḥijjah, 1447 AH | Monday, 18th May 2026. *_HISTORICAL CONTEXT AS TO WHY MUSLIMS PERFORM TAWAF (CIRCUMAMBULATION) 7 TIMES DURING HAJJ AND UMRAH_*. BismilLah.

As we continue with yesterday’s reminder, let us first remember that the blessed first ten days of Dhul-Ḥijjah have begun today. These are among the most virtuous days in the sight of ALLAH Azzawajal, so let us strive to increase in fasting, righteous deeds, remembrance of ALLAH, charity, Qur’an recitation and sincere repentance, while staying away from sins and anything that displeases HIM. Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH ﷺ said:
“There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to ALLAH than these ten days.” — Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī
May ALLAH Azzawajal grant us the ability to make the most of these precious days and accept all our acts of worship. Aameen. Back to our topic;

Why Circle Around the Ka‘bah.
Basically, It symbolizes complete devotion to ALLAH Azzawajal.
The Ka‘bah is not worshipped itself. Muslims worship ALLAH Azzawajal alone. The Ka‘bah serves as the central direction of unity (Qiblah).
Circling around it symbolizes:
placing ALLAH Azzawajal at the center of life, moving in obedience around HIS command, and showing total submission.
Just as planets orbit a center by ALLAH’S decree, believers spiritually orbit the House dedicated to HIS worship.
Why Seven Times Specifically? To be continued on that tomorrow in Shaa ALLAH. *_May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
