Dhul Hijjah and Voluntary Deeds

About this lecture

In this khutbah, the speaker emphasises the immense importance of voluntary acts of worship (*nawafil*), explaining how they compensate for deficiencies in our obligatory deeds and draw us closer to Allah. Drawing on hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari, the Musnad of Imam Ahmad, and the example of the companions, the lecture then turns to the approaching first ten days of Dhul Hijjah — urging the community to seize this uniquely blessed season through fasting, dhikr, sadaqah, and extra prayer.
