How Did Hajj Come Twice in the Same Year?
- Sheik Yusuf
Hajj? Twice in the same year? Is it possible? How? 
Well, technically it does (and it doesn't) occur twice in this year. Let me explain (while I am preparing for Hajj for right now):
You see, Hajj (pilgrimage) comes in the month of Dhul Hijjah (the 9th day is the actual Day of Arafat). And there are 354 days in the lunar calendar, but 365.25 days in the sun calendar. When it occurs like this year, the lunar calendar is exactly within the sun calendar in a way to make the dates of Hajj occur at the very beginning of the year of the sun calendar and the very end of the sun calendar at the same time.
Let me share with you some more interesting things I have learned about Hajj . . .

Can Muhammad Forgive Sins?
|
Being the final Prophet of God (Allah), The Prophet (peace be upon him) has been endowed with a life that is an epitome of success.
Each of the different phases of his life provides examples for anyone who wishes to emulate it for righteous living.
His character alone is a paragon of virtue, a model for men. Allah Says, "You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern for any whose hope is Allah and the Final Day." (Quran 33:21)

What is this - Christmas?
The word Christmas comes from the words Cristes maesse, or "Christ's Mass." Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus for members of the Christian religion. Most historians peg the first celebration of Christmas to Rome in 336 A.D. 
Muslims Celebrating Christmas - Is This Possible?
While you may find this strange, we have received letters asking about the permissibility of allowing Muslim children and adults to join along Christians in celebrating Christmas; giving gifts, decorating their homes, lighting candles, putting up Christmas trees and lights and greeting each other with "Merry Christmas."
No candles? * No Christmas tree * No sleigh? * No reindeer? * No mistletoe? * No bells? * No elves? * No stockings by the chimney? * No Christmas Carols * & NO SANTA CLAUS?
Let us consider some important facts about this occassion and what it really means:
