The Best TEN Days of Dhul-Hijjah

It is Sunnah to recite takbeer (Allahu Akbar), tahmeed (Al'ham'dulillah), tahleel (Laa'ilaaha ill-Allah), and tasbeeh (Subhan'Allah) during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.  These words should be recited regularly and abundantly.

It was narrated by Ahmed (Saheeh) , that our beloved Prophet, sallallāhu 'alayhi wa’sallam said:

“There are no days on which good deeds are greater or more beloved to Allah than on these ten days, so recite much Tahleel (saying Laa ilaaha ill-Allah), Takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) and Tahmeed (saying Alhamdu Lillaah).”

Fasting is recommended in these days. The Prophet sallallāhu 'alayhi wa’sallam said,

“One fast during these days is equal to the fasting of one complete year, and the worship of one night during this period is equal to the worship in the Lailatul-Qadr”. (Tirmidhi)

The Prophet sallallāhu 'alayhi wa’sallam used to fast on the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah and it is reported he said:

“Fasting the Day of Arafah (ninth Dhul-Hijjah) is an expiation for (all the sins of) the previous year and expiation for (all the sins of) the coming year.” (Muslim)

Supplicate on the day of Arafah. ‘Amr ibn Shu’ayb reported that the Prophet, sallallāhu 'alayhi wa’sallam, said:

The best of supplications is the supplication on the day of Arafah and the best which I and the Prophets before me have said (is)

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٍ

"Laa ilaaha ill-allaahu, waḥdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu, wa huwa ‛alaa kulli shay’in qadeer."

"None has the right to be worshiped except Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs sovereignty and all praise and He is over all things omnipotent." (Tirmidhi)

Offer your Qurbani. Qurbani is a religious sacrifice of an animal on the days of Eid-ul-Adha as an offering to Allah, subḥānahu wa ta’āla. Every year during this month, Muslims around the world slaughter an animal to reflect the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail, for the sake of Allah, subḥānahu wa ta’āla. The Prophet, sallallāhu 'alayhi wa’sallam, performed this rite and Muslims today continue to follow his example.

Recite the Quran, ponder and reflect over the verses. Understand its message and implement the guidance within it.

“This is the Book in which there is no doubt, containing guidance for those who are mindful of God.” (Quran 2:2)

Giving in Sadaqah is loved by Allah and multiplied in reward during these days. Every act that is done with sincerity for the pleasure of Allah subḥānahu wa ta’āla, will bring you closer to Him, so give daily even if its a small amount.
