3 things you could do on 'Eid

1. Make lots and lots of duaaas (including some special ones for some people in R family who have coughs and colds and are recovering from surgery)

2. Go through the Hajj quiz and the other Islam quizzes (Levels 1 to 8) on the BBC Religion and Ethics website to see how much you really know about Islam and the Hajj.


3. Read Sultan Baybars' rare copy of the Qur'aan online using The British Library's amazing 'Turning the Pages' technology.

Hope everyone has a blessed 'Eid and an accepted Hajj (all those who went), in shaa Allaah.

Abdullaah bin Zubayr on the 8th of Thul-Hijjah

Abdullaah bin Zubayr, went out on the day of Tarwiyah (8th day of the month of Hajj) and made Talbiyyah in the best manner, then he praised and thanked Allaah and extolled Him, then he said:
'' To proceed: You have come from many different directions in groups to Allaah, the All Mighty, the All-Powerful, and Allaah has made it incumbent upon Himself that He honours His group; so whoever came to seek that which is with Allaah, if he asks Allaah, he will not be disappointed, so prove your words true by your actions, for the foundation of speech is action and the intention is the intention and the hearts are hearts, Allaah is Allaah during these days for they are the days during which sins are forgiven. You have come from many different directions, for a purpose other than trade or seeking the life of this world, hoping for what is here.''

Then he performed the Talbiyyah and none could be seen who was not weeping profusely.
