The Best 10 days of the year
Surah Al-Fajr
"By the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah)." [89:2]
- `The ten nights' refers to the (first) ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. This was said by Ibn `Abbas, Ibn Zubayr, Mujahid and others among the Salaf and the latter generations.
- It has been confirmed in Sahih Al-Bukhari from Ibn `Abbas that the Prophet said,
"There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days." meaning the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. They said, "Not even fighting Jihad in the way of Allah'' He replied, "Not even Jihad in the way of Allah; except for a man who goes out (for Jihad) with his self and his wealth, and he does not return with any of that."
May Allah guide us to do lots and lots of righteous deeds in these best 10 days! ameen.

Whoever hopes in meeting with Allah..
Surah Al-Ankaboot
Allah will fulfill the Hopes of the Righteous, Allah's saying;:-
"Whoever hopes in meeting with Allah," [29:5]
- means, in the Hereafter, and does righteous deeds, and hopes for a great reward with Allah, then Allah will fulfill his hopes and reward him for his deeds in full. This will undoubtedly come to pass, for He is the One Who hears all supplications, He knows and understands the needs of all created beings. Allah says
"Whoever hopes in meeting with Allah, then Allah's term is surely coming, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower." [29:5]
May Allah make our best deed be our last deed, and may our best day be the day of judgement and may our best meeting be with Him, ameen.

Threatening the Mutaffifin (those who deal in fraud)
Surah Al- Mutaffifin
Threatening the Mutaffifin (those who deal in fraud) with standing before the Lord of all that exists:-
Then Allah says as a threat to them,
"Do they not think that they will be resurrected, on a Great Day" [83:4-5]
- meaning, do these people not fear the resurrection and standing before He Who knows the hidden matters and the innermost secrets, on a Day that contains great horror and tremendous fright?
- Whoever loses on this Day will be made to enter into a blazing fire. Then Allah says,
"The Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of all that exists." [83:6]
-meaning, they will stand barefooted, naked and uncircumcised at a station that will be difficult, hard, and distressful for the criminals. They will be covered by the command from Allah, and it will be that, which the strength and the senses will not be able to bare.
Allahu Akbar...May Allah protect us from all difficulties and punishment in every stage of the hereafter, ameen

Guidance is granted to Those Who have Taqwa:-
Surah Al-Baqarah
Guidance is granted to Those Who have Taqwa:-
Hidayah - correct guidance - is only granted to those who have Taqwa - fear of Allah. Allah said,
"Say: It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. And as for those who disbelieve, there is heaviness (deafness) in their ears, and it (the Qur'an) is blindness for them. They are those who are called from a place far away (so they neither listen nor understand)" [41:44], and,
"And We send down of the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism and act on it), and it increases the Zalimin (wrongdoers) in nothing but loss" [17:82]
- This is a sample of the numerous Ayat indicating that the believers, in particular, benefit from the Qur'an. That is because the Qur'an is itself a form of guidance, but the guidance in it is only granted to the righteous.
May Allah make us firm and righteous and enter us into gardens under which rivers flows, ameeen

The Happiness of the Person Who will receive His Book in His Right Hand and His Good Situation..
Surah Al-Haqqah
The Happiness of the Person Who will receive His Book in His Right Hand and His Good Situation:-
- Allah informs of the happiness of those who receive their Book in the right hand on the Day of Judgement and being pleased with this. Out of his extreme pleasure is his saying to everyone that he meets,
"Here! read my Record!" [69:19]
- meaning, `take my Book and read it.' He will say this because he knows that what is in it is good and purely virtuous deeds. He will be of those whom Allah replaced their bad deeds (evils) with good deeds. `
- In the Sahih, it is recorded from Ibn `Umar that he was asked about the private counsel. He responded by saying that he heard the Messenger of Allah salAllahu alayhi wa sallam saying,
"Allah will bring the servant close (to Him) on the Day of Judgement and make him confess all of his sins. This will continue until the servant thinks that he is about to be destroyed. Then Allah will say, "Verily, I have concealed these sins for you in the worldly life and I have forgiven you for them today.'' Then he will be given his Book of good deeds in his right hand."
May Allah make us of those whom He has forgiven, pardoned and concealed! May we and the entire ummah be the people of the right showing off our book of deeds on yawmul qiyamah, ameen.

And the Face of your Lord Dhul-Jalal wal-Ikram will remain forever..
Surah Ar-Rahman
Allah is the Ever Living, Free of all Need:-
- Allah states that all the residents of earth will perish and die. The residents of the heavens will die, except whomever Allah wills. Only Allah's Honorable Face will remain, because our Lord, the Exalted, the Blessed, is the Ever Living Who never dies.
"Whatsoever is on it (the earth) will perish.
And the Face of your Lord Dhul-Jalal wal-Ikram will remain forever.'' [55:26-27]
- This Ayah is similar to Allah's statement,
"Everything will perish save His Face." [Surah al Qasas 28:88]
- In this Ayah, Allah describes His Noble Face as being Dhul-Jalal wal-Ikram, indicating that He is Worthy of being revered, and thus, never defied; and obeyed, and thus, never disobeyed.
- Ibn `Abbas commented on the meaning of Dhul-Jalal wal-Ikram, by saying, "Owner of greatness and pride.''
- After Allah stated that all of the inhabitants of the earth will die and end up in the Hereafter when He, Dhul-Jalal wal-Ikram, will judge them by His fair judgement, He said,
"Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny?" [55:28]
What beautiful ayat! Alhamdulillah. May Allah bless us with the honour of seeing His face, ameen
