Dhul Hijjah

In an increasingly skeptical world rife with confusion and Islamophobia, we give a home to well-researched truths, inspiring a world of faithful changemakers by reviving the essence of orthodoxy.

About Dhul Hijjah
Hajj is a sacred pilgrimage, performed annually by Muslims, to Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque erected by Prophet Abraham) in Mecca. It is the 5th pillar of Islam and is expected to be completed once in a Muslim’s lifetime.
The importance of Hajj is not limited to it being an opportunity to seek forgiveness for past sins but it allows them to connect to Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) through the rituals of Hajj. The Hajj pilgrimage also brings together the global Muslim community from all corners of the world, synchronized in a profound ritual before the One God as a single family despite their differences in race, ethnicity, and ages.
Hajj takes place in and around the holy city of Mecca, located in present day Saudi Arabia. Some of the Hajj rites take place at the Ka'bah (the epicenter of Ancient Mosque built by Prophet Abraham), others at the nearby hills of Safa and Marwa (where Hagar sought drinking water for her child), and others outside the mosque at Mina, Muzdalifa, and Mount Arafah.
Hajj occurs during the first 13 days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah, the 12th or last month of the Islamic (lunar) Calendar with the rituals starting primarily on the 8th day of Dhul-Hijjah.  Some scholars hold that the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah are the final 10 days of Prophet Moses' 40 night repose with God at Mount Sinai, wherein Allah communicated with him directly and gave him the 10 commandments.

Jealousy for Faith and the Ummah: Developing a Gheerah Mindset | Blog

This essay explores the global protests against the genocide in Palestine, emphasizing that Muslim advocacy should go beyond reactive measures. It calls for anchoring actions in an Islamic framework centered on gheerah—a concept of protective jealousy that fosters solidarity and purpose. By embracing a gheerah mindset, Muslims can align their actions with Islamic teachings, uphold dignity (ʿizza), and lead a more intentional and principled life.
