Question:
Saturday 29.10.2011. Was getting ready for work. Felt an ‘ajeeb‘ sensation of wellness like EID Day enjoyment. The atmosphere too was not as heavy as everyday. The whole day went smoothly. I felt like I had no link to our daily worries. Can you explain?
Answer:
Alhamdulillah, that is the beginning of Dhu ‘l-Hijjah, so as the first 10 days of that holy month are the best days of the year, then these days are like a mini-Eid, up to the real Eid. Thus, as the manifestations of the blessings come down on you, especially from those going for Hajj al-Akbar this year, since you are open to them through your heart, you were feeling it. And Allah knows best.
