first 10 days of zulhijjah~




Insyaallah..today i will write a post about the advantages and benefits of the first 10 days of zulhijjah..thanx to brother faisol for the reminder and talk juz now...its really gave me a 'kick' to start doing some deeds on these first 10 days..

to start off..let me tell you about one hadis from Bukhari..Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has said about the first 10 days of Zulhijjah...

"There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days." The people asked, "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah?" He said, "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing."

Some of good deeds and worships that we can perform during these 10 days include:
- Fasting..especially on ninth day of Zulhijjah which known in Arabic as Yawm Arafa..The Prophet used to fast on this day (An Nisai and Abu Dawud).. Fasting on this day will expiate the past and future sins of a Muslim.
- Remembrance of Allah by reciting a lot of Tasbeeh (Subhanallah), Tahmeed (Alhamdulillah) and Takbir (Allahuakbar)
- Reading Quran
- Optional praying
- making Dua'
- giving charity
- being good to families

Insyaallah..let us all take this opportunity to do deeds if we missed to do them in last Ramadhan..=)
