Make The Most Of Dhu'l Hijjah
The first ten days of Dhu’l Hijjah are blessed days. Allah Most High Himself swore by them in the Quran,
وَٱلْفَجْرِ ﴿١﴾وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ ﴿٢﴾
“By the Dawn! And by Ten Mighty Nights together” [Quran, Al Fajr 89:1-2]
Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas relates that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “There are no days in which righteous acts are more beloved to Allah than in these days – meaning the ten days of Dhu’l Hijjah.” They asked, “O Messenger of Allah, not even Jihad in the way of Allah?” He replied, “Not even Jihad in the way of Allah, except for the man who goes out with his life and his wealth and does not return with either of them.”[Bukhari]
How To Make The Most Of Dhu’l Hijjah?
1. Fast during the first nine days of Dhu’l Hijjah, particularly the Day of ‘Arafah (9th Dhu’l Hijjah). “Fasting the Day of ‘Arafah expiates the sins for two years, one prior and one forthcoming.”
2. Exert yourself in good works during the first ten days of Dhu’l Hijjah, such as remembrance of Allah (dhikr), fasting, charity, and other righteous actions because they are the best of days.”
3. Increase your spiritual works. Spend some part of each of the nights of these ten days in prayer and worship.
May Allah give us success in these blessed days and nights, and in every moment of our lives, to follow the path of the beloved Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and may He make us of those whom He loves and who love Him. Aameen.
