So many of us make tawbah and then carry the guilt anyway. We replay the mistakes, hold onto the shame, and convince ourselves we don't deserve to be fully forgiven.
But Allah (SWT) tells us clearly in the Qur’an to not lose hope in His mercy, for He forgives all sins.💙
Holding onto that guilt after sincere repentance is its own barrier. It stops you from fully receiving what He already extended to you. This Dhu al-Hijjah, ask for forgiveness, and then put it in the past. Extend gratitude and give Sadaqah throughout this season.

What if your "Add to Cart" meant someone else’s Eid meal was taken care of?🥘
Imagine a parent’s relief knowing food is on its way and their family's Eid table is secured. 💙
When donating your Qurbani, IRUSA handles the logistics with local partners in each country so your click becomes a full plate.

Islam doesn't ask us to practice our faith in isolation. While the act of Qurbani is deeply personal, its impact is entirely communal.💙
By choosing to share our wealth and provide fresh, halal meat to those facing food insecurity, we actively practice rahmah (mercy), adel (justice), and ukhuwah (brotherhood). It is more than just a donation - it’s a restoration of dignity and a tangible reminder that we belong to one global Ummah.🌍
Bring these values to life this Eid. Fulfill your Qurbani today.

Every day of Dhu al-Hijjah is a gift. 💙
Make the most of these 10 blessed days by giving daily - and let your sadaqah multiply your reward.
Set it once. Give every day.

We live in a world where pride is common, but humility calls us to a higher standard.
In Islam, humility is far from a sign of weakness, it is a sign of strength and wisdom. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) taught us that no one humbles himself for the sake of Allah (SWT) except that Allah raises his status. 💙
#DhualHijjah
Every year between the 10th and 12th of Dhu al-Hijjah, we sacrifice an animal (sheep, goat, or cow) to honor the legacy of Prophet Ibrahim (as) and provide food for those in need. 🐐
More than just a ritual, Qurbani is also an act of devotion and gratitude for all that we've been given. IRUSA ensures it reaches the families who need it most. 🥘

Do not let the Best 10 Days pass without making dua’a!💙
Ask for forgiveness.
Ask for your family.
Ask for the relief of your neighbors.
Ask for good in this life and the next.
Repeat them often.
Say them with meaning.
You do not know which dua’a will change your life or the life of someone in need.🙌
#DhualHijjah#JummahMubarak
Our children learn the essence of compassion and duty by watching how we care, how we react, and how we give without worry. 💙
When they see you prioritize Qurbani, they learn that our blessings are a trust (Amanah) from Allah (SWT), meant to be shared with those facing hardship.
We set a powerful example of what it means to be a believer who looks after the vulnerable. It’s an investment in the future of our youth, ensuring the values of mercy and justice continue for generations.

Sabr was never about going quiet and giving up.
Look at the legacy of the Prophets - they faced trials that would break most of us and they kept going with sabr on their side. That is the standard Islam holds us to.
Give yourself room to struggle and still choose to show up. The fact that you are still here, still trying, still turning back to Allah (SWT) - that is sabr in action. 💙
May this month be the beginning of habits that stay with us long after it ends.
Getting your Qurbani share done before your Ummi or that one uncle asks about it in the family chat. 📱
Handle your barakah early and secure that "favorite child" status this Eid. Complete your Qurbani with IRUSA. 💙

If your preparation for the best 10 days has not yet started, take this as your sign. ✨
You don't need a plane ticket to Mecca to feel the mercy of Allah (SWT) and benefit from these days. Fasting (especially on the day of Arafah), making extra salah, or giving your Qurbani, are all incredibly heavy in reward throughout this time.
May Allah (SWT) accept your dua’a and sacrifices during this time. 🙌

Worship doesn't only happen on the prayer mat.
Caring for your neighbor, showing up for your community, making sure someone has a meal on Eid - these are all acts of ibadah. 🥘
During the best 10 days of the year, how you treat people is part of how you worship.
Give your Qurbani this Dhu al-Hijjah and make sure no family is forgotten. 💙
link.irusa.org/sm/qurbani
The 10 days of Dhu al-Hijjah is a time of mercy.
Pray for your own healing, your family, protection of the Ummah, and anything you have in your heart.
Bookmark this post to keep these dua’a close, and share it so others can benefit during these merciful days.

🤲 We are praying for our community at the Islamic Center of San Diego

We often rush through life focusing on what’s missing, but the first 10 days of Dhu al-Hijjah are a built-in "pause" button.
Gratitude (shukr) is one of the most powerful spiritual practices we have to soften a heavy heart. 💙
#DhualHijjah
The blessed days are here. ✨
The first 10 days of Dhu al-Hijjah are among the most sacred of the year - days when good deeds are more beloved to Allah (SWT) than any other time.
Fast. Give. Reflect. And fulfill the sunnah of Qurbani.

14,400 minutes may sound like a lot, until you realize how quickly a day goes by.
We often spend months prepping for the nights of Ramadan, but the 10 golden days of Dhu al-Hijjah carry just as much reward.
Whether you’re fasting, increasing your dhikr, or ensuring your charity reaches those in need, you are reaping the reward of these days 💙
Qurbani 2026 is officially here!
Fulfilling your Sunnah with IRUSA means a journey from your hands to their tables. Your sacrifice travels across borders to ensure high-quality, halal meat goes to families who need it most. Lock in your barakah early and give the gift of a worry-free feast.
