🕌 Speak or Not

Ibrahim عليه السلام didn’t just obey — he surrendered.
When Allah asked him to leave his family in the desert, he trusted.
When he was told to sacrifice his son, he submitted.
His entire legacy is one of quiet, unwavering obedience — not just in worship, but in the hardest, most human moments.

Dhul-Hijjah reminds us: true faith isn't just what we say, it’s what we give up for Allah.

💡 DO:
As we approach these sacred days, ask yourself:
🔍 What’s one thing I need to let go of for Allah?
It could be a habit, a distraction, or even just some pride.
Write it down. Make du’a. Take one small step this week.

Sacrifice is personal — and powerful.
