THE FIRST TEN DAYS OF ZIL HIJJAH

  • Hazrat Ibn Abbas (R. A) relates that Rasulullah (S.A.W.) said “On no other days are good deeds more liked by Allah than on these days meaning the first ten days of Zil Hijjah”. The Sahaabah (R.A.) asked: “O Rasulullah (S.A.W.), not even Jihaad in the way of Allah?” Rasulullah (S.A.W.) replied: “Not even Jihaad in the way of Allah, except for that person who goes out to fight with his life and wealth and does not return with anything.” [Bukhari]
  • Rasulullah (S.A.W.) said: “On no days is the worship of Allah desired more than in the first ten days of Zil Hijjah. The fast of each of these days is equal to the fast of a whole year, and the Ibaadat (worship) of each of these nights is equal to the Ibaadat of Laylatul Qadr. [Tirmizi & Ibn Maajah]
  • It is related from Ibn Abbas (R.A) that Rasulullah (S.A.W.) said: “No days are as weighty with Allah and so liked by Him for good deeds than the first ten days of Zil Hijjah. So in these days increasingly read:
  • TASBEEH (Subhanallah)
  • TAHLEEL (Lailaha Illallah)
  • TAHMEED (Alhamdulillah)
  • TAKBEER (Allahu Akbar)

THE FAST OF YOWM – E – ARAFAH

  • Hazrat Abu Qataadah al-Ansari (R.A.) relates that Rasulullah (S.A.W.) was asked about the Saum (fast) on the day of Arafah (i.e. the 9th Zil Hijjah). He said: “It compensates for the minor sins of the past year and the coming year.” [Muslim]
  • Rasulullah (S.A.W.) has said: “The most acceptable Du’a is that which is made on the day of Arafah, and the best Du’a which the Prophets before me, and I, have made is: (“There is no Deity besides Allah, He is alone. He has no partner. To Him belongs the sovereignty, and unto Him belongs all praise, and He is all-powerful.) [Tirmizi]
  • It is related that Rasulullah (S.A.W.) said: “Whoever stays awake and make Ibaadat on the nights of Eidul Fitr and Eidul Adhaa, his heart will not die on the day when all the hearts will be dead.”
  • Hazrat Muaaz ibn Jabal (R.A.) relates that Rasulullah (S.A.W.) said: “Jannat is Waajib for those who stay awake with the intention of making Ibaadat on the following nights: 8th, 9th and 10th of Zil Hijjah, the night of Eidul Fitr and the night of the 15th of Sha’baan.”
