For the sister who got her period close to Arafah 🤍
Maybe you had already planned to fast.
Maybe you were looking forward to praying more.
Maybe a part of you feels like you’re “missing out” on one of the greatest days of the year.
But your period is not a punishment.
It is not a sign that Allah has pushed you away.
When ‘Aishah RA cried after getting her period during Hajj, the Prophet ﷺ comforted her and reminded her that this is something Allah had decreed for the daughters of Adam.
So don’t let this day pass in despair.
Make du‘a.
Make dhikr.
Give charity.
Seek forgiveness.
Feed someone who is fasting.
Send salawat.
Keep turning back to Allah.
You may not be able to worship in the way you planned, but Allah still opened many doors for you.
And Allah knows the sincerity of the heart that wished it could do more.
May Allah accept from all of us, forgive us, and allow us to leave Arafah with hearts that are lighter and closer to Him. Ameen.
