The days of the first 10 of Dhul-Hijjah are more valuable than the days of Ramadan speaking of daylight.
The prophet Muhammed (Saw) said there are no days in which Allah loves Deeds more than those that are done during these first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah.
So if we were told that there are no days wherein Deeds are more loved by Allah then these 10; what should we be doing?
There is no point in sinning especially during a time when Allah says good deeds are most loved to me. We should be doing seeking the forgiveness of Allah often.
Why do you think He gives us these auspicious days and nights Him to tap us on the shoulder and tell us, it’s time you turned it to Allah.
The reason that these 10 days are so massive and so rewarding is in them; We have day of arafah like in Ramadan we have laitual Qadr. The messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, He summarized the whole Hajj and he said Hajj is Arafah.
The messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said the day that is promised is the day qiyamah and the day that is witnessed is the day of Arafah and the day is Jumah. And the day of Arafah there is one hour. If this hour passes by a mumin that is asking Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala for khair (good), Allah would answer the dua of that person.
This hour comes to a servant of Allah while he is asking Allah to protect him from a certain evil then Allah will protect that from him. If you are outside of the hajj and you fast the day of Arafah, then Allah will forgive two years of your sins.
laa ilaaha ill-allaahu, waḥdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu, wa huwa ‛alaa kulli shay’in qadeer
Translation
The best of supplications is the supplication on the day of AAarafah and the best which I and the Prophets before me have said (is):
“None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs sovereignty and all praise and He is over all things omnipotent.”
The benefits of Hajj and Arafah reach the entire Ummah, they reach the entire nation. So pray for yourself, pray for your Ummah, pray for the people around the world, your Ummah around the world, and let the benefit flow insahllah taala because this is the most blessed day of the year.
Do not waste a single minute during this first ten days of dhul-hijjah because these 10 days are the most important days of the year. You cannot afford to waste a single minute. Be kind and nice to people, be good to the neighbors. Be happy and cheerful and be nice and courteous to all the people living around you.
Do as much as the sunnah you can do it is better during the first 10 days of dhul-hijjah. Give as much time as you can for your family members
Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar La Ilaha Ilallah Wallahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Wa Lillahil Hamd
Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest. There is no deity (no god) besides Allah and Allah is the greatest. Allah is the greatest and to Allah all praises belong. Reason
From the infinite wisdom of Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala Is that he divided the year in two months. Allah azzawajal told us; indeed the number of months in the sight of Allah is 12 months in the book of Allah. From the day that Allah created the heavens and the Earth among them are four which are sacred among these four sacred months is the month which is just Dhul –Hijjah.
Allah chose certain months to prefer over others And certain times to prefer all the others. Allah azzawajal chose for us times to perform certain acts of worship which are better than other times. This month of Dhul Hijjah is a very important month and it is a month in which the first 10 days are the most important and the most virtuous of the days of the Allah azzawajal swore by these days in surah al-fajr.
We should fill them with as many Good Deeds as we possibly can. These 10 days is your opportunity to go back to where you were in the last 10 days of Ramadan. It’s an opportunity for you to continue and to increase in the Good Deeds that you are doing.
There is no better time to get back on track and started again than the first 10 days of dhul-hijjah because these are the days in which there are no other days of the year in which righteous Deeds are more beloved to Allah than these 10 days.
If we were to read carefully what those Messengers came with in terms of revelation, we would find that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam left us with two main things and he says I’ve left you with two things for as long as you hold fast upon them you will never be led astray.
That is the Quran and my Sunnah which means the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon …his life and his teachings.
As you apply your mind and you realize why exactly you are on earth; It is precisely what Allah says. So in Surat al-baqarah Allah says we will definitely test every single one of you.
One of the reasons why I’m on earth is to be tested. I will face challenges difficulties hardship.
In fact in Surat al-ankabut Allah says that is how He distinguishes the Believers from those who are liars, those who don’t really believe.
what will Allah test us with? What do I need to expect? in life, we get attached to things and we don’t realize when we came Into this world We were alone. prior to coming into this world We were where Allah wanted us, but we came alone and Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala says when we go; we will go alone and we will meet Allah alone and we will answer to our questions or accountability will happen alone on that day.
You’ve just come yourself. And guess what? your Deeds; so do good deeds.
I need to fulfill the obligations and stay away from prohibitions and I need to know that the things that I will become acquainted with and attached to at some point Allah will detach me from them for as long as they are material items of this world, things that are very very connected to this.
when we get Too attached to this comfort zone where in the day Allah decides to take us out of it as He has promised. It will be extremely difficult.
So Allah says don’t get too attached even to people, get attached to Allah. the messenger peace be upon him his legacy lives on, his Sunnah lives on, get attached to that.
Dua:
Dua for protection from illness and disease
This dua for protection from illness should be our constant prayer at this time – and it carries an important reminder that our refuge is always in Allah (SWT):
Allah says in the Quran and Allah certainly took Abraham (Ibrahim) as His intimate friend and we know that the only two that were given that status and the second of them was the prophet salallahu alayhe wassallam.
How great is Islam and on how Islam, subhanallah, connects us to these great figures to Ibraheem alehissalaam.
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Al-hajj verse number 78; Allah says that he is the one who named you as Muslims from before and Scholars say From before means before the prophet salallahu alihi wasalam, Ibrahim (a.s) named you meaning named the followers Oh Mohammed (saw) to be Muslims.
You know, so the followers of Moses (a.s) He didn’t say my followers are Jews. Jesus (a.s) never said my followers of Christians. The prophet (saw) himself never said, my followers are Muslims rather Ibrahim / Abraham (a.s) said Muhammad (saw) your followers will be known as Muslims.
Dua:رضيت بالله ربا وبالاسلام دينا وبمحمد صلى الله عليه وسلم نبيا ورسول
Radhitu billahi Rabba, Wa bil Islami deena, Wa bimuhammadin salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, Nabiyyan
Radhitu billahi Rabba (I’ve accepted Allah as my Lord) Wa bil Islami deena (And Islam as my way of life) Wa bimuhammadin salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam (And Muhammad may Allah’s peace & blessings be upon him) Nabiyyan wa Rasoola (As Prophet and Messenger of Allah)
Allah (Swt) tells us that whenever you hear people in a meeting, in a gathering, whenever you hear people blaspheme Allah, speak bad about Allah, say nasty dirty, ugly things about Allah or even about others; Allah says turn away from them.
Don’t be A part of it until they change the topic to something good. So this is also goodness that Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala.
This verse is showing us not to participate in bad. If there is a group of people and they’re doing good, be a part of them. It will bring about a lot of comfort.
Only participate in that which is positive, that which is good, that which is filled with goodness, blessings and reaching out to people in a positive way.
Hadith says strive to seek that which will benefit and do not feel helpless. Then the prophet (saw) said and then if something overwhelms you then say it is the decree of Allah and He does what He Wills.
So, basically this is Once you have put forth your best and things don’t turn out the way that you want to turn out then say I did my part; Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala has decreed and I’m pleased with what He has decreed.
We never become dependent on our best efforts, we instead put forth our best efforts, but we always recognize the limitations of our efforts and recognizing the limitations of our efforts does not diminish them…. balance between our role versus the decree of Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala.
Patience in the midst of all of that Devastation:
Don’t beat yourself up so much over The outcome, seed the positive see what comes out of this for you in regards to the outcomes and don’t go back and say if I would have done this differently, if I would have done that differently…..
Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala had a plan for you and the end of that plan is good for you.
Whenever Allah has set rules and regulations every single time, It is in order to empower Us in order to liberate Us in order to grant us the contentment were searching for in this world And the next.
Some of the happiest people have very little when it comes to material belongings, but they have the ownership of something. That is very great. That is the relationship with Allah.
