Do you know the value of these 10 days of Dhul Hijjah? First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah: ...these ten days are better than all other days of the year, with no exception, even the last ten days of Ramadhan. But the last ten nights of Ramadhan are better than the first ten nights of Dhu’l-Hijjah, because they include Laylat al-Qadr, which is better than a thousand months. [See Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 5/412.] Allah swears by them. By the dawn and by the ten nights … [Al-Quran 89:1-2] The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: There are no deeds as excellent as those done in these ten days. They (the companions listening) said, Not even Jihad? He, peace be upon him, said, No, not even Jihad except a man who goes forth endangering his life and wealth and does not return with anything. There are no other days that are as great as these in the sight of Allah, the Most Sublime. Nor are there any deeds more beloved to Allah then those that are done in these ten days. So increase in tahlil (to say la illaha illallah), takbir (to say allahu akbar) and tahmid (to say alhumdulillah) What should you increase on doing these 10 days? 1. Prayer - It is highly recommended to perform the obligatory acts at their prescribed times (as early as possible) and to increase oneself in the superogatory acts, for indeed, this is what brings a person closer to their Lord. The Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said: Upon you is to increase in your prostration to Allah, for verily you do not prostrate to Allah with even one prostration, except that He raises you in degrees and decreases your sins because of it. 2: fasting 3:Saying allahu akbar, la illaha illallah and alhamdulillah - It is found in the aforementioned narration of Ibn Umar: So increase yourselves in saying la illaha illallah, allahu akbar and alhamdulillah. Imam al-Bukhari, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Ibn Umar and Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with them both, used to go out to the markets in the ten days saying the takbir causing the people to follow them in this action. 4:Fasting on the day of Arafah - Fasting has been affirmed on the day of Arafah, where it has been confirmed from the Prophet, peace be upon him, that he said regarding fasting on the day of Arafah: Be content with the fact that Allah will expiate for you your sins for the year before (the day of Arafah) and the year after (the day of Arafah). [Reported by Muslim] 5: give sadaqah 6: reading quran 7: praying tahajjud 8: increase doing dhikr. ♡ Lubna Jannat ☺
