Tamara Gray – Embracing The 10 Blessed Days

			We walk on a very generous path,
and the Prophet salallahu, Alaihe
		

			Salam clearly, clearly,
		

			let us know that these days are
blessed not only
		

			the place but the time. So Makkah
and Madin are sacred places,
		

			and these days are sacred times.
There are no days in which good
		

			deeds are more superior than in
these these days, the Prophet
		

			said,
		

			these days, the good deeds that we
do, the the the good things that
		

			we do, these are days that are
more blessed than other days, his
		

			upcoming days.
		

			And the Prophet told us also,
ma'am and Abu ILA, so not more. No
		

			days are more beloved to Allah, to
worship in them than the 10 days
		

			of
		

			so if we're looking at the year
and thinking, what days do I want
		

			to put extra effort in? What days
am I going to say? Well, this
		

			these days I want to take
seriously
		

			Subhanallah in the world of habit
building and habit changing and
		

			growing ourselves,
		

			whether in studying or in work, we
all we recognize that there are
		

			some days that, no, we just have
to focus on on studying. For
		

			example, when I was at university,
in the days of finals, you focus
		

			on finals, that was it like. You
didn't say, oh, you know what? I
		

			don't feel like studying for my
finals. Now, even though that test
		

			is coming, it's okay. I'm going to
study the week after finals,
		

			nobody does that
		

			same thing at work. If you have a
big project coming up at work or
		

			big presentation or something like
that, you don't say to yourself,
		

			oh, you know what, I'm going to
prepare next month, even though
		

			the presentation is coming up next
week, nobody does that.
		

			If you say to yourself, oh,
there's a friend's wedding or a
		

			sister a family member's wedding.
		

			You don't say, Oh, I'm not going
to, I'm going to, I'm going to
		

			prepare for that, and I'm going to
help her in in November instead of
		

			in the month her wedding is in
August. We don't, we don't live
		

			like this. And I it's silly, even
the examples feel silly,
		

			but yeah, somehow shaytan has a
way of coming to us and telling
		

			us, oh, you're busy Now these
aren't the best days for you. Now
		

			you're
		

			it's summer. The days are long or
what have you, but it is these
		

			days that we want to embrace.
Yeah.
