THE FIRST TEN DAYS OF DHUL HIJJAH - SERIES PART 4

📌What are the recommended acts of worship in these first ten days?- 1⃣

The acts of worship performed in these Blessed days can be categorized into 2 categories. 

A. The Muslims performing the Pilgrimage.

B. The Muslims not performing the Pilgrimage.

📌The Muslims going for Hajj have to perform a set of rites and rituals during all the days of Hajj. 

➡️Here we discuss the deeds recommended for the Muslims who are not performing the Hajj.

 1⃣ The Takbeer, Tahleel, Tasbeeh and Tahmeed due to what has been reported in the Hadeeth of Ibn Umar (radiyallaahu-anhu) that: ‘’Increase in Tahleel, Takbeer and Tahmeed in it (i.e. during these days). Imaam Al-Bukhaari (rahimahullaah) said: Ibn Umar and Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhumaa) used to go to the market place during the first days of Dhul-Hijja whilst uttering the Takbeer and the people also used to do so alongside them.

2️⃣Salaah: Give more emphasis and concern to the obligatory prayers and increase in optional prayers, because the prayer is amongst the greatest means of seeking nearness to Allaah.

 3️⃣Fasting: fasting is included amongst the righteous deeds. Imaam Nawawi (rahimahullaah) said about fasting the first nine days of Dhul-Hijja is strongly recommended.

4️⃣ Sadaqah: As is mentioned by Ibn Hajr (rahimahullaah) in Al-Fath: What is apparent is that the reason the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are distinguished (with excellence) is because of what it gathers of the main foundational acts of worship, and they are: Salaah, Fasting, Charity and Hajj, which are not found in other than them.)

6️⃣ Seeking Knowledge: Seeking religious knowledge such as the Names of Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) and

the Qur’an are among the best worships because it is a type of remembrance. The virtue of seeking knowledge is the reward of hajj and as .)سبحانه وتعالى( if one is in the struggle for the sake of Allah
