The Blessed Month of Dhul-Hijjah
Dhul-Hijjah is not only the final month of the Islamic lunar calendar but also one of the most sacred times of the year. Muslims around the world embrace this period for its immense spiritual significance especially during its first ten days, considered the best days for worship, forgiveness, and reflection. This sacred season invites believers to renew their faith, increase their good deeds, and prepare their hearts for closeness to Allah.
The Blessed Month of Dhul-Hijjah
“There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” – Hadith
These ten days carry unmatched spiritual weight. Believers are encouraged to engage in extra prayers, fasting, charity, and remembrance of Allah to multiply their rewards.
The Day of Arafah (9th Dhul-Hijjah):
A pivotal day in the Hajj pilgrimage, and a highly recommended day of fasting for non-pilgrims. The Prophet ﷺ said fasting on this day expiates the sins of the previous and coming year.
Tashreeq Days (10th–13th Dhul-Hijjah):
These are days of celebration, worship, and continued remembrance of Allah. They begin with Eid al-Adha and extend through the days of sacrifice and Takbeer.
Practical Guidelines for Observing the First Ten Days
Here are some spiritually beneficial practices to help believers make the most of this sacred time:
- Fasting: Fast on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah (Day of Arafah) if not performing Hajj. It brings immense reward and forgiveness.
- Increased Dhikr and Du’a: Frequently recite Takbeer, Tahmeed, Tahleel, and Tasbeeh. Make time for heartfelt supplications.
- Qur’an Recitation and Reflection: Deepen your connection with the Qur’an by reading, reflecting, or joining tafsir sessions or study circles.

Follow the spirit of sacrifice by giving to those in need. Even small acts of charity carry great reward in these days.
