Importance of Jumada al-Thani

Although Jumada al-Thani is not a dedicated month for worship, Allah (SWT) and His prophet (SAW) encourage selfless deeds throughout the year, including sadaqah jaariyah, Qur’anic recitation, istighfar, and voluntary prayers.

Making good use of your time is crucial. Every day and every instant is a priceless chance for the believer to receive rewards and atone for sins through good deeds.

“Take benefit of five before five: Your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before you are preoccupied, and your life before your death”

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him)- Ibn Abbas and reported by Al Hakim
