The virtues and importance of the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah*
🌙 In the twelve months of the year, Allah Almighty has bestowed special virtues on some days. The most excellent of them are those which are called the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. 📖 Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran: *"وَالْفَجْرِ وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ"* " _By the dawn and the ten nights_ " (Surah Fajr)
According to scholars, these ten nights are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah that Allah swore an oath to, and this is only to show the greatness of these days.
*The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:*
"There is no day in which good deeds are more beloved to Allah than in these ten days." (Sahih Bukhari) That is, charity, remembrance, prayer and every deed during these days are more rewarding than on ordinary days.
*What to do during these days?*
✅ Remember Allah as much as possible
✅ Fast (especially on 9th Dhul-Hijjah)
✅ Give charity
✅ Repent and seek forgiveness
✅ Perform prayers
✅ Take care of your parents and the needy
✅ And those who are able, make sacrifices
