Important Dates

It is from the immense bounty of Allah Most High that He has blessed the Ummah of Sayyedunah Rasulullah (peace be upon him) with special days and nights, such that worship in these has more blessings than praying for months and even years. Allah Most High states in the Holy Qur’an, “And remind them of the Days of Allah”. [Surah Ibrahim 14:5]. Some have said that the Days of Allah are those days in which Allah Most High has bestowed His slaves with special favours and blessings.

Below highlights blessed days including those of the birth and the passing away of some Prophets and Friends of Allah (Awliya) as well as expounding the blessings of volountary (Nafl) prayers and fasts.
