Three truly joyful days for a Muslim

In an authentic Hadith, the Prophet (PBUH) advised us to repeat this phrase often: “O’ (Allah) Who is full of Majesty and Honour.”

He (bpuh) also advised us to say: “O’ Ever Living, O’ One Who sustains and protects all that exists.”

Therefore, for one’s own well-being, one should invoke Allah and seek His help with these phrases, and the answer will surely then follow.

“Remember] when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you.” (Qur’an 8: 9)

In the life of a Muslim, there are three truly joyful days:

1. The day that he abjures sinning and performs his obligatory prayers in congregation.

“Answer Allah [by obeying Him] and [His] Messenger when he calls you...” (Qur ‘an 8: 24)

2. The day that he repents from a sin, forsakes it, and returns to his Lord.

“Then, He accepted their repentance, that they might repent [unto Him.” and they reaped the fruits of this noble stance: happiness, peace of mind, and sincerity. “And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it, with the necessary effort due for it [i.e. do righteous deeds of Allah Obedience] while he is a believer...” (Qur‘an 17: 19)

5. Jihad was a priority for them over other good deeds until it became a banner by which they were recognised. And through Jihad, they annihilated their worries and troubles, because all of the following are a part of Jihad: remembrance, striving, effort, and activity.

“As for those who strive hard in Us [Our Cause], We will surely guide them to ‘Our Paths [i.e. Allah .s’ Religion - Islamic Monotheism]. And verily, Allah is with the good doers.” (Qur’an 29:
