\n\n<\/div>\nDhul Hijjah is the 12th and final month of the Islamic Lunar Calendar. It literally translates to ‘Month of Pilgrimage’, as it is the month in which millions of Muslims from all over the world perform the worship of Hajj. The first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah are of specific importance to Muslims.\n\nAllah (SW) made an oath by the first 10 Days of Dhul-Hijjah, showing its sacredness, in the following verses:\n\u201cBy the dawn. And by the ten nights\u201d Surah Al Fajr, Verse 1-2\n
The sacredness of these days is further revealed in the Hadith of ibn \u2018Abbas, where he narrates that the Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) said:\nThere are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days (first ten days of Dhul- Hijjah). They said: \u201cO Messenger of Allah! Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah?\u201d He said: \u201cNot even Jihad in the cause of Allah, unless a man goes out with himself and his wealth and does not bring anything back.<\/blockquote>\nThis Hadith highlights the greatness of worship done during the blessed days. So what are some of the worships that can be completed during these days?\n
    \n \t
  1. Fasting<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nFasting is one the main worships that bring a believer closer to his lord. Muslims\u00a0are recommended to fast the first 9 days of the month, especially on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah, which is known as the Day of Arafah. The prophet of Allah mentioned an amazing reward specifically for the one who fasts on the day of Arafah:\n
    Fasting on the Day of ‘Arafah<\/em> absolves the sins for two years: the previous year and the coming year, and fasting on ‘Ashura<\/em>, (the tenth day of Muharram<\/em>) atones for the sins of previous years.<\/blockquote>\nNB: <\/strong>One should not fast on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, as this is the day of Eid, a day of celebration for the Muslims.\n\n
    \"Dhul<\/a>
    The Mountain of Arafat on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n2.\u00a0Qurban Sacrifice<\/strong>\n\nThe Qurban (‘Udhiya) is the slaughter of a\u00a0sacrificial animal on the 10th, 11th or 12th of Dhul Hijjah.\n\n3. \u00a0Increase in Good Deeds<\/strong>\n\nTry to\u00a0pray all Sunnah prayers, increase in recitation of the Quran, say your morning and afternoon athkar (supplications) and give in Charity.\n\nThese 10 days are an excellent opportunity to get into good habits and earn massive rewards.\n\n______________","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
