The ten days of Zul Hijjah are the
first ten days of the 12th Islamic
calendar month called Dhul Hijjah.
These are the days when most of
the pilgrims make a journey to
Makkah and perform their tasks of
Hajj. Just as they have a special
chance to get extra reward, the
ones who were not able to go to
Hajj are also given a special
chance to get extra reward during
these days.
What do I do in these ten days?
1- Dhikr (praise of Allah (azza
wajal)
a) Say tahlil: La ilah illah Allah
b) Takbir : Allahu akbar
c) Tahmid : Alhamdu lillah
d) Tasbeeh: Subhan Allah
e) Istighfar: “Astaghfer Allah”
f) Making salah and salam on the
Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam)
g) General tasbeeh that we know
of in the authentic Sunnah
2- Fast in these days what you can
3- Give charity
4- Recitation of Qur’an
5- Making Continuous and
Consistent Dua’a
6- Prayer of the night time
7- Fasting and specialty of the day
of Arafah (9th day of Dhul Hijjah)
8- Sacrificing and slaughter of an
animal on the 10th day of Dhul
Hijjah
9- Repentance
10- Salah in general
I ask Allah (SWA) that He forgive
us for our shortcomings and the we
take advantage of these sacred
days getting the mercy and
forgiveness of Allah. Ameen.
