With the mercy of Allah,
Were about to have the best 10 days of the year!
The first 10 days of Zul Hijjah.
Almighty Allah has sworn for its importance in the holy Quran:
! !
(I swear by the dawn!
I swear by the ten days (of first Zul Hijjah)
I swear by the odd (9th day) and by the even (10th day of Zul Hijjah).
I thank Allah, the most Merciful, for granting us such opportunities, after granting us the opportunity of Ramadhan,
THE BEST TEN DAYS OF THE YEAR
and for the sacred month of ZUL HIJJAH!
The first day of Zul Hijjah is going to be (most probably, well wait for Makkah decision about Hajj day, as this Eid celebration solely depends upon Hajj):
Friday June 7th, 2024
Some virtues/ importance of these days:

Prophet peace be upon him said:
"There are no days, in which, the righteous deeds are more beloved to Almighty Allah then these ten days (the first ten days of Zul Hijjah), Sahabah/ the companions RA, asked: even the Jihaad in the path of Allah? He (Peace be upon him) said: Nor the Jihaad in Allah's path, except a person who sacrificed both himself and his wealth in Allahs path".
(Reported by Imam Bukhari, Abu Dawood, Tirmizi, Ibn Majah and others..).
Our Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) used to fast first nine days of it (as reported by his wives Hafsah, and Juwairiyyah RA:
"Four things, Prophet peace be upon him, never missed in his life:
1- Fasting on Aashura (10th of Muharram), specifically,
and in fact, fasting all first 10 days of Muharram
2- Fasting of all the 10 days of Zil-Hijjah, specifically 9th of Zul Hijjah, (if not performing Hajj).
3- Fasting the 3 days of each month (each loner month: 13, 14 and 15),
4- And performing the two Raka'at before Fajr Fardh (Sunatal Fajr).
Reported by Imam Ahmed and Nasaai.
- Especially the 9th of Zul-Hijjah Prophet of ALLAH (peace be upon him) taught us, that:
"fasting of the day of Arafah, would washes out the sins of TWO YEARS, the previous year as well as the coming year".
(Sahih Muslim, Abu Dawood, Nasaai, Ibn Majah..)
Steps to avail the benefits of these days:
- Starting with sincere Taubah, returning to Allah and making sure that Hes pleased with us!
- Making allot of ZIKR, on top is Quran recitation
- Saying Takbiraat out loud, which will start from the Fajr of Arafah day, until all the Hujjaj leave Mina (Asr of 13th Zul Hijjah).
-Those who will sacrifice, should not cut their nails or hair, until they sacrifice, its a SUNNAH of Prophet peace be upon him.
- Fasting all nine days of it, especially 9th of zul Hijjah.
- Sacrificing for the sake of ALLAH, a goat/ sheep/ ram, on behalf of all family members living under one roof, it is upon, everyone who has to pay Zakah, he/she must sacrifice, and we could have a share of seven persons in a cow or a camel.
Prophet peace be upon said: "Who ever could afford to sacrifice, but chooses not to, should not get close to our Masjid/ Eid prayer field".
(Mustadrak Hakim).
- performing Tahajjud/ optional nightly prayer
- Giving charity
- Days of sacrifice are: Starting after Eid prayer, 10, 11 and 12 of Zul-Hijjah until the Maghrib of 12th.
- When/ if Eid occurs on Friday, we are given the choice to either pray "JUMUAH' or ZUHUR" Salah, after performing EID on same day.
