!!!~. 10 days of Dhul Hijjah .~!!!

Bismillah, 

The 10 days of Dhul Hijjah are upon us!  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

Allah (swt) blessed the nation of Muhammad (saw) with opportunities to reap rewards and blessings every day of the year. The last ten nights of Ramadan  are among the most blessed nights of the year; in particular Laylatul-Qadr  is extremely sacred. Similarly, the first ten days of Dhul-Hijja carry special status during the blessed month of “Pilgrimage.” The above Hadith of the Prophet  spells out the importance of these ten days in the sight of Allah  and the amplified reward  for all good deeds during this blessed season. (Dhul Hijjah is part of the ashharul harrm) 

In surah fajr ayah 2 -wa layanin ashr- Allah  swears by ten days. The ten ten days of Dhul Hijjah. One day of worship equals to one year of worship like of layatul qadr.

So, the questions we should be asking ourselves are, “How do we make the most of these 10 Days?  “What deeds can I perform to attain Allah's pleasure?”. The following 10 posts are some examples of the acts and deeds of worship that will help us gain His pleasure InshaAllah. :-)
