Today is a blessed Friday. Friday is a holiday of Muslims. It is a weekly day of

rejoicing. More is offered on this day, plenty in quantity, with whatever you can, you should benefit from the day. We should not waste this day. What we are saying is not about hard things either. Doing ghusl, meaning washing oneself thoroughly, if possible visiting mothers and fathers graves. It is a hadith of our Prophet (SAW) that going to their graves on a Friday and reading Ya Sin is counted as giving a great gift. The goodness of this gift returns to him multiplied also; it becomes blessings.

Those who are close or far from their mothers, fathers, family, should at least read once Surat Yasin, then offer its blessings to our Prophet (SAW), to their family members, mothers, fathers, and all the Muslims—as our Prophet (SAW) said, because the goodness of it is for all, the one who reads it also receives from this offering. Now there are millions of Muslims when you read for them all you receive a lot of good deeds from Allah. This is a great blessing.

Some say, “Let’s go for Hajj,” but Hajj is not a place to go any just time, praying there is not always possible. It might not be one’s destiny. There are people who live at the Qa‘ba, in Makkah, in Madinah, but have not yet made their Hajj. And there are also those who have not even seen the Qa‘ba. This is another thing. Because it is not in your destiny, you are here on your seat and billions of times you receive its goodness which means when one desires one can receive from these good deeds. Allah is generous, does not fear, there is no fear in Him, as if giving from His treasure would decrease from it. Everything is in the hands of Allah. Allah ‘azza wa jalla has endless treasures, offers, take as much as you want. May your Friday be blessed.
