What acts should be done on dhu'l-Hijjah

Introduction:


Every day and night of a Muslim's life is very precious, But Allah Almighty rewards His servants with special moments in the whole year.

They are the moments when Allah Almighty showers his blessings on Muslims like rain. Of these moments, there are also the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah.

To benefit from them, it is necessary to be aware of their virtues.


Importance:


The day of Arafah included the days of the hajj on which Allah perfected his religion. Fasting on this day will expiate for the sins of two years.

The day of sacrifice is also included in these days.


Incident of a renowned singer:

I want to narrate an incident of a renowned singer who inspired me from deep inside. 

In an interview, he told about his mother's death. He said that his mother was sleeping and just died while nobody was around her.

His mother was very pious. She was a great worshipper of Allah Almighty.

After her death, he found her in heaven in his dream, and his mother has advised him to do fast on Dhu'l-Hijjah and said to other people to fast these days. As she saw in heaven that people who fast on dual-Hijjah were pleased and contented, or they are the actual winners.


Here are some verses of the Quran regarding Dhu'l-Hijjah.


Dhu'l-Hijjah in the light of the Quran:

Allah Almighty has sworn ten nights in the Holy Qur'an. According to most commentators, this refers to the ten nights of Hajj.

reference:

(Sura Fajr verse number 4)


In the Holy Qur'an, Allah Almighty says and takes the name of Allah Almighty in a few fixed days.

reference
(Alhajj-28)

From these fixed days, some commentators have taken the ten days of Hajj.

Here are some hadiths about Dhu'l-Hijjah.


Dhu al-Hijjah in the light of the hadiths:

No day is more desirable than to practice these ten days.

reference:(tirmidhi-757)


Therefore, we should Tasbeeh and Tahlil in all these days and do a lot of takbeer and themed.


Meaning of TAHLIL, TAKBEER and TAHMEED:


Tahlil: LailahaillAllah (There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah)

Takbeer: Allahuakbar (Allah is the greatest)

Tahmeed: Alhumdulilah (All praise is due to Allah)


Here is another hadith :

"The fast of each day of the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah is equal to the fast of one year, and every night's worship in it is equal to the night's worship ( Shab e qadar)."
reference :(Tirmidhi-758)


The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was asked about fasting on the day of Arafah, so he said :

"It expiates the sins of the past year and the coming year."

So it means the sins of one year before and one year after will be forgiven due to fasting on the day of 'Arafah. (Tirmidhi-749)

If we talk about fasting, it is a difficult act of worship, but it has many benefits.



Fasting and Science

It has been scientifically proved that fasting is good for our health. Fasting for 20 to 25 days a year is very beneficial for our body, and we can stay away from many diseases.
