10 Days of Dhul-hijjah

Maximise your rewards!

The 10 Days of Dhul-hijjah has begun, so remember to do good deeds during these special days. As our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him said

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ
“‏”‏ مَا الْعَمَلُ فِي أَيَّامِ الْعَشْرِ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ فِي هَذِهِ

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhul Hijja).” [Sahih Bukhari]

Extra Good Deeds in The Month Of Dhul-Hijjah

Fast on the Day of Arafah

It is a recommended sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) for those who are not pilgrims to fast on this day since the Prophet (PBUH) was asked about fasting on the day of Arafah, so he said:

“It expiates the sins of the past year and the coming year.” (Muslim)

Offer A Sacrificial Animal

One of the good deeds that will bring a person closer to Allah during these ten days is offering a sacrifice, by choosing a high-quality animal and fattening it, spending money for the sake of Allaah.

Performing Hajj and ‘Umrah

Although we may be unable to do this due to the Coronavirus pandemic, let us pray to Allah to enable us to do this good deed in the future.

Plus…..

Any good deed during these 10 days is better than any other day and more loved by Allah.
Examples include:

  • Fasting from the first 10 days

  • Quran: Read, Study & Reflect

  • Be extra good to parents & everyone

  • Extra prayers, Sunnah Dhikr, and Charity

  • Ask forgiveness & do dua/supplications

  • Attend Eid khutbah & prayer

  • Do all Sunnah of Eid prayer

  • Do Takbir all time in these 10 days

  • Do Takbir after each fard prayer from Fajr of Arafah day till Asr of 3rd day after eid

    Takbir is: Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, Laa ilaaha illallahu wallahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Walillahil-hamd.
