424. Mondays And Thursdays Are SPECIAL

By Asma bint Shameem 

Mondays and Thursdays are special, SPECIAL days. 

You know why?

1. *Our deeds are shown to Allaah*

Mondays and Thursdays are special because our deeds are shown to Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala on these two days. 

And that’s the reason why the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam LOVED to fast on these two days. 

The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:

“Deeds are shown (to Allaah) on Mondays and Thursdays, and I like my deeds to be shown when I am *fasting*.” (al-Tirmidhi— saheeh by al-Albaani)

2. *The gates of Jannah are OPEN and Allaah FORGIVES* *people* 

Also out of His immense Mercy, Allaah Subhaan Allaah forgives people on Mondays and Thursdays. 

The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam said:

“The gates of Paradise are opened on Monday and Thursday, and everyone who does not associate anything with Allaah is forgiven, except a man who has had an argument with his brother. 

It is said: 

‘*Wait* for these two until they reconcile, 

*Wait* for these two until they reconcile, 

*Wait* for these two until they reconcile.” 

(Muslim)

So fast Mondays and Thursdays if you can. 

Do your best. 

And if you have your fardh fasts left over from this Ramadhaan that you need to make up, make them up on Mondays and Thursdays. 

It’s the Sunnah. 

Also reading the second hadeeth gives you scary goosebumps; 

Subhaan Allaah!

How important it is to forgive others and let go of grudges!

May Allaah enable us to fast Mondays and Thursdays and bless us with the a heart that forgives. 

And Allaah knows best
