Bismillah.
Assalamu'alaykum & Greetings to all,
The Prophet (PBUH) said, “There is no deed that is better in the sight of Allah or more greatly rewarded than a good deed done in the (first) ten days of Al-Adha”. It was asked, “Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah?” The Prophet (PBUH) replied, “Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah, unless a man goes out himself for Jihad taking his wealth with him and does not come back with anything.” Narrated by Al-Bukhari
THIS is indeed a late post. It should've obviously been uploaded BEFORE dhul hijjah! But still, I'm just telling myself it's better late than never. So just in case anyone come across this, in sha Allah, there's still 8 more of these blessed days.
People are just very busy these days astaghfirulla and the days just past us in a blink of an eye subhanAllah! *guilty myself* (Sidenote: This is actually also a sign of the end of the Day approaching. May Allah have mercy upon us and that we never delay in preparing for Afterlife.)
This post is just a quick burst of suggestions on what deeds/actions to perform during these 10 blessed days.
The MAIN IDEA is to INCREASE IN GOOD DEEDS:
FASTING - Abu Hurayra narrated: "Allah said: Every act of the son of Adam is for him except fasting which is done for Me, and I will reward him for it. (Sahih Bukhari)
Option 1: Fast all 1-9 Dhul Hijjah
Option 2: Fast as many days as you are capable amongst the 9 days; including 9th Dhul Hijjah
Option 3: Fast only on the day of Arafa i.e. 9th of Dhul Hijjah
Read/recite the Qur'an
Sadaqa - Do it in secret if you can. Here's an easy one. Join this challenge! =)
Dhkr - Tasbeeh (SubhanAllah), Tahmeed (Alhamdulillah), Tahleel (Laillahailallah), Takbeer (AllahuAkbar)
Sunnah prayers
General good deeds
REMEMBER, these 10 days are as special as the last ten nights of Ramadan so treat these 10 days as importantly. May He strengthen us in worship and that He accept our deeds.
WAllahua'lam
