Dear readers, tomorrow, Friday, is the first day of Dhul Hijja, which is the last month of the lunar hijri year in the Islamic calendar; it is also the moth of pilgrimage. Moreover, the first ten days of it are the best days in this world according to the words of the Prophet PBUH in a sound piece of Tradition in Sahih Ibn Hibban. Also, Allah Almighty made a special mention of these ten days and honoured them by making an oath by them in the beginning of Surat Al-Fajr, {والفجر وليال عشر} "By the Dawn, and by the Ten Nights"; according to the commentators, these are the first ten days of this month. Allah ordered us to make dhikr of Him in these days when He Almighty referred to them in Surat Al-Hajj {ويذكروا اسم الله في أيام معلومات} "To make mention of Allah in these known days". Our Beloved Prophet PBUH made good works in these ten days better than working in any other days as in hadith narrated in the Sahih of imam Bukhari.

Imam Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani explains why these days are the best days of the year by pointing out to the fact that they include all major acts of worship in Islam, namely prayer, fasting, charity and pilgrimage. which do not come together except in other months.

So, it is recommended to do a lot of extra acts of worship in these days such as fasting the first nine days; doing a lot of extra dhikr, especially takbir and tahlil; reciting the Holy Qur'an and much more.

Seize this opportunity; as we are never sure whether we live till next year to compensate. Show the best of yourself in the field of prayer, dhikr, Qur'an and visit the masjids more often to deserve the celebration of eid even if you do not go for hajj. We will speak later insha Allah on the Day of 'Arafah

With my salaam and du'a to all of you who have read this to the end.

Shaykhen säger bl.a. att den store hadith-mästare Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani nämnde att Dhul Hijja är speciell därför att den innehåller fyra av Islams fem pelare: bön, fasta, sadaqa och hajj - en förträfflighet som ingen annan månad äger.

Och han påminner om att ta tillvara desa dagar - vi vet inte hur länge vi får leva och vi får en nästa chance!
