Best Ten Days of Dhul Haj

Best ten days of Dhil Hajjah 27th October 2011

Allah swt nurtures His slaves,reforming them, always, making them better and better so they deserve the paradise. This is Allah's tarbiyah,asAllah is the Rabb knows the nature of human beings, we are lazy at times and we cannot live in a routine.even with the ibaadat we need some change,so that it does not get monotonous SubhanAllah, so if we look back ,before three months everyone was waiting for Ramadan,so everyone prepared themselves and everyone was excited about Ramadan, to do their best ibaadah,this even reflects the the unity of muslimeen ,within ten days of Ramadan they prepare in worship got together for taraweeh,then they become slow ,then again last teof nights of Ramadan get excited then after eid they sleep, then we have six days of shawwal and the missed fast beeing taken care of..then we get busy with the routine,,,until we receive the other time of zil Hajjah,only two months apart between Ramadan and Dhil Haj,this is hikmatallAh ,but when we see the Hadith that the first ten days of zil Haj has more significance than the last ten nights of Ramadan...we all need reminder ....it is jihad or come to markaz to be with ppl but the reward is also more..Allah is nurturing us giving us chances to reward us more..subhanallah thru out the year Allah gives us chances to correct ourselves and earn rewards.

Why is it important: as Allah swears by these days:sura fajar: the first days of zil Haj.

Hadith: Rasul saws said that you cannot find any days where the good deeds are more beloved to Allah than in the ten days of Dhil Hajjah, this is more beloved to Allah.

The Sahabah asked even the jihad Fi sabillilah, prophet saws said yes it is better than jihad fi sabililah.this means that when we do good deeds during the ten days it will be better than jihad.this means we will get multiple rewards.As Allah is our Rab and He chose these days so we follow samiaanaa wa Ataana.
The four sacred months are Dhil Hajjah,rajab, Moharram and
So more good deeds to be done to earn multiple rewards during these months ,also zil Haj falls during this sacred month .

During these days the most important day is youm al arafahh, subhanallah for the ppl in Haj Allah will expiate their sins as though new born and for others if they are fasting on this day it is as though, their two years sins expiated.which two years? previous one year and coming one year Of the Future.so does this mean that I will commit a sin in the future and Allah will forgive me , of course not,this is all about a sincere heart who will fast with the intention that his sins will be expiated so .in future means if u r truthful then Allah will guard you from falling into a sin, protection from Allah.
On youm al arafah Allah will come down near the lowest heaven and Allah talks about this pilgrims and boasts about their significance in front of the angels.Allah says that HIS slaves have come from far off places, some barefoot to seek Allah the almightys forgiveness,so HE will forgive all the ppl who went for Haj on the day of arafat.
Youm an nahar, the day of sacrifice, the Id day, tenth of Dhil Haj, among all the best ten days of Dhil hajj the best day is youm an nahar as it is within the tenth day of Dhil Haj.
What other thing is important:
You cannot find any other days where all the ibadat is done , it is mother of all ibaadaat,as you will do all the ibadat during this period.
Haj will be performed during this time, fasting ,our nabi sala Laho alaihi wassalam  used to fast on 9 th Dhil Haj and sometimes all the nine days of Dhil Haj or some days of zil Haj , so we have options, we should fast whatever is convenient as per sunnah ,either fast aal days  except eid or do it random but do not select odd days like a bidaa.
Also u do umrah,prayers, takbeer,tahmeel,
From the start of Dhil Hajjah we need to welcome from first day with takbeerr,,after every prayer or say it any time, always do dhikar,even the Sahabah used to do it in the souq,but not to do Zikar jamaai,not make groups,
Also to increase all the good deeds,this can be done every time ,even the prayers will be more, the voluntary dhuhaa prayer, qiyaam al Layl,increase it during the day, feeding orphans,saying salaam, Silaatal raham,all husn al Khuluq, don't bemused in doing good deeds,also use istiannabillah, ya rabbi help me.do not plan too much, as it will make u tired and u will not do anything,so keep doing good deeds slowly then Allah will help u the most.we must welcome zilhaj with takbeer starting from maghrib of first day un till 13 th day  of dhilhaj asr time.

As per sunnah we should not cut our hair and nails for these nine days and do it after the animal has been slaughtered/sacrificed.

  1. We have an R.S project, in which we have to discuss why Hajj could, but also could not, be considered a rite of passage.
    I have some ideas for why it would be, but I'm kind of stumped as to why it wouldn't be; apart from people that are non-religious/Muslim.
