Fasting on this day is a sunnah of Rasululah s.a.w.s. highly rewarded, the reward for which is the forgiveness of the sins of the past year as well as the sins of the oncoming year.[Related by Muslim, from Abu Qaatadh radiallaahu 'anhu.] <br> <br>Please note we are to fast the 9th of Dhul Hejjah in accordance with the moonsighting of one's own country. <br> <br>If you wish to fast on the Fri. 9th Dhul Hejjah you will also need to fast Thurs. as well since it is not recommended to fast the day of Friday on its own. <br> <br>EIDUL ADHA WILL THEREFORE BE ON SATURDAY 28TH NOVEMBER 2009 insha'Allah. <br> <br>Consequently there will be no classes at Daar Aisha on this day, however Term 4 will now end on Sat. 26th Dec.this being the last day of tuition for 2009 Academic Year. <br> <br>the virtues of this month as well as the deeds to be performed during these blessed ten days will be further discussed in all classes on Saturday insha'Allah. <br> <br>May Allah s.w.t. make these ten days and all of our days most blessed filled with abundant Mercy, Forgiveness, Unity and acts of 'Ibadah that are most pleasing to HIM.<br> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:49:52 -0800
