The Days of Tashriq

 



ASSALAMU ALAYKUM WARAHMATULLAHI WABARAKATUH 


Praise be to ALlāh, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of ALlāh.


Virtues of the Days of Tashriq


The days of Tashriq are the 11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah . There are several verses and ahadith which speak of their virtue: 


1 – ALlāh says (interpretation of the meaning): 


“And remember ALlāh during the appointed Days.” [Al-Baqarah 2:203]


These are the days of Tashriq. This was the view of Ibn ‘Umar and most of the scholars. 


2 – The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALlāh be upon him) said concerning the days of Tashriq: “They are days of eating, drinking and remembering ALlāh.” 


The Prophet (peace and blessings of ALlāh be upon him) forbade fasting on these days :


 “Do not fast on these days, for they are the days of eating, drinking and remembering ALlāh.” Narrated by Ahmad, 10286; classed as sahih by al-Albani in al-Silsilah al-Sahihah, 3573.


Dhikr during the days of Tashriq


Dhikr (remembering ALlāh) is enjoined during the days of tashriq in several ways: 


Remembering ALlāh immediately after the prescribed prayers by reciting Takbir. This is prescribed until the end of the days of Tashriq according to the majority of scholars.


Remembering Him by saying BismiLlah and ALlāhu Akbar when slaughtering the sacrificial animal. 


The time for slaughtering the hadiy and udhiyah lasts until the end of the days of Tashriq.


Remembering ALlāh when eating and drinking. 


It is prescribed when eating and drinking to say BismiLlah at the beginning, and to praise Him (say Al-hamdu Lillah) at the end.


 According to the hadith narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALlāh be upon him): “ALlāh likes His slave when he eats something to praise Him for it, and when he drinks something to praise Him for it.” (Narrated by Muslim, 2734)


Remembering Him by saying Takbir when stoning the Jamarat on the days of Tashriq. This applies only to the pilgrims on Hajj.


Remembering ALlāh in general. It is mustahabb to make a lot of dhikr during the days of Tashriq. ‘Umar used to recite Takbir in Mina in his tent, and when the people heard him they recited Takbir too and Mina echoed with the sound of their Takbir. ALlāh says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“So when you have accomplished your Manasik [rituals of Hajj], remember ALlāh as you remember your forefathers or with a far more remembrance. But of mankind there are some who say: “Our Lord! Give us (Your Bounties) in this world!” and for such there will be no portion in the Hereafter.


And of them there are some who say: “Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!”” [Al-Baqarah 2:200-201]


Many of the salaf regarded it as mustahabb to make a lot of du’a during the days of tashriq. 


The words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of ALlāh be upon him), “These are days of eating, drinking and remembering ALlāh” indicate that eating and drinking during the days of ‘Eid are means that help one to remember ALlāh and obey Him; perfect gratitude for the blessing means using it to help one obey and worship ALlāh, 


In His Book ALlāh commands us to eat of good things and thank Him for them. So whoever uses ALlāh's  blessings to commit sin is showing ingratitude for the blessing of ALlāh, so he deserves to have it taken away from him.

Challenges Faced by Community Health Practitioners

Community health practitioners face various challenges in fulfilling their roles effectively, including resource constraints and training needs. One of the primary challenges is the lack of adequate funding and resources for healthcare facilities in many communities. Limited budgets result in shortages of medical supplies, equipment, and infrastructure, hindering the delivery of quality healthcare services. Additionally, community health practitioners often work in understaffed healthcare settings, leading to increased workloads and reduced capacity to meet community needs.
