Moon Sighting for Dhul Hijjah 1441 AH – Wednesday, July 22nd, 2020
The reward of offering the following prayer is to participate in the rewards of those who go on Hajj
At each of these ten nights, it is recommended to offer a two unit prayer between the Maghrib and `Isha’ obligatory prayers and to recite at each unit Surah al-Fatihah once, Surah al-Tawhid once, and the following verse (7/142):
وَوَاعَدْنَا مُوسَىٰ ثَلَاثينَ لَيْلَةً
wa wa`adna musa thalathina laylatan
And We appointed with Moses a time of thirty nights
وَأَتْمَمْنَاهَا بِعَشْرٍ
wa atmamnaha bi`ashrin
and completed them with ten more,
فَتَمَّ مِيقَاتُ رَبِّهِ أَرْبَعينَ لَيْلَةً
fatamma miqatu rabbihi arba`ina laylatan
so the appointed time of his Lord was complete forty nights,
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَخِيهِ هَارُونَ ٱخْلُفْنِي فِي قَوْمِي
wa qala musa li’akhihi haruna ikhlufni fi qawmi
and Moses said to his brother Aaron: Take my place among my people,
وَأَصْلِحْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ
wa aslih wa la tattabi` sabila almufsidina
and act well and do not follow the way of the mischief-makers.
