4 things to do on the Blessed 10 Days of Dhul Hijjah

[notEVOLVED]

For those not able to do udhiyah/qurban this year - Here are 3 beautiful ahadith
Hadith 1
It was narrated from Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As that the Messenger of Allah said to a man: "I have been instructed to take the Day of Sacrifice as an Eid which Allah, the Might and Sublime, has ordained for this Ummah." The man said: "What do you think if I cannot find anything but a female sheep that has been loaned to me so that I may benefit from its milk - should I sacrifice it?" He said: "No. Rather cut something from your hair and your nails, trim your moustache and shave your pubic hairs, and you will have a complete reward with Allah, the Might and Sublime, as if you had offered the sacrifice." [Nasai]

Hadith 2
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When it is a Friday, the angels stand at the gate of the masjid and keep on writing the names of the persons coming to the mosque in succession according to their arrivals. The example of the one who enters the masjid in the earliest hour is that of one offering a camel (in sacrifice). The one coming next is like one offering a cow and then a ram and then a chicken and then an egg respectively. When the Imam comes out (for prayer) they (angels) fold their papers and listen to the Khutba." [Bukhari]

Hadith 3
Abu Kabshah 'Amr bin Sa'd reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "I swear by Allah for three (qualities) which I am going to tell you about. Remember them well:
1. The wealth of a man will not diminish by Sadaqah (charity).
2. Allah augments the honour of a man who endures an oppression patiently.
3. He who opens a gate of begging, Allah opens a gate of poverty (or he said a word similar to it)."

He (ﷺ) also said, "Remember well what I am going to tell you: The world is for four kinds of people:
1. One upon whom Allah has bestowed wealth and knowledge and so he fears his Rabb in respect to them, joins the ties of blood relationship and acknowledges the Rights of Allah on him (and fulfills them); this type will have the best position (in Jannah).
2. One upon whom Allah has conferred knowledge but no wealth, and he is sincere in his intention and says: 'Had I possessed wealth, I would have acted like so-and-so.' If that is his intention, his reward is the same as that of the other
3. One whom Allah has given wealth but no knowledge and he squanders his wealth ignorantly, does not fear Allah in respect to it, does not discharge the obligations of kinship and does not acknowledge the Rights of Allah. Such a person will be in the worst position (in the Hereafter).
4. One upon whom Allah has bestowed neither wealth nor knowledge and he says: 'Had I possessed wealth, I would have acted like so-and-so (i.e., he would squander his wealth).' If this is his intention, both will have equal sin." [Tirmidhi]

The greatest day of the year for Muslims is one NOT to miss out on!

A’ishah رضي الله عنها reports that Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

“There is no day in which Allah sets free more souls from the fire of hell than on the day of ‘Arafat. And on that day Allah draws near to the earth and by way of exhibiting His Pride remarks to the angels, ‘What is the desire of these (servants of mine)?” (Muslim)

A blessed day Alhumdulillah! However if you are not on Hajj, you still have a chance to reap some amazing benefits.

Here’s what to do to maximize your rewards
One of the most important things for those of us who are not on Hajj to do is FAST! We know that you’re fully aware of the benefits of fasting by now, but why is fasting the Day of Arafat so epic?

Abu Qatudah Al-Ansari رضي الله عنه narrated that Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم was asked about the fast on the day of ‘Arafat. He said, “It compensates for the (minor) sins of the past and the coming year.” (Muslim, At-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah)

Your Day of Arafat Schedule:
1. Sleep early the night before to strengthen yourself for the special day.

2. Wake up 1 hour before Fajr (recommended time) and have suhoor if you are at home and fasting.

3. Make wudu, while consciously remembering that your sins are being washed away til the last drop of water.

4. Pray at least 4 rakat of Qiyam (voluntary night prayers between Isha and Fajr) and make du’a for your Deen and Dunya in your sujood. Cry to Allah, showing Him humility and ask Him to give you tawfeeq on this great day, and thank Him for making you of those who would experience this special occasion.

5. Spend some time (10-15 mins at least) making Istighfar (asking for forgiveness) before Fajr, to be like the righteous whom Allah described as “seeking forgiveness before dawn.”

6. Attend Fajr in the Masjid (or at home). Reply to the Fajr adhan and make Du’a. Pray Fajr. Sit in your prayer place after praying in congregation and do your morning adhkar. Make tasbeeh, tahleel, tahmeed, and takbeer. And as the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) advised, increase in “la ilaha illallah, wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulk wa lahul hamd, wa huwa ala kulli shay’in qadeer.”

7. 15-20 minutes after sunrise pray 2 rakat of shurooq (voluntary/Nafl prayer). This all (praying Fajr in Jama’ah, sitting and remembering Allah until sunrise, then completing step 7) amounts to the reward of a complete Hajj and Umrah. So do not waste it!

8. If you’re able to stay awake by all means, do so and do not waste a single minute. If you need to sleep, take a nap for an hour with the conscious intention of energizing yourself for the worship of Allah.

9. When you wake up, make wudu and pray at least 4 rakat of Duha (mid-morning voluntary Nafl prayer). Then recite lots of Quran and make the dhikr mentioned above in breaks in between.

10. After Asr, say the evening adhkar. Then recite Qur’an again til about an hour before Maghrib. At that point, make LOTS of Du’a til Maghrib, while having firm belief that Allah will answer. (Preparing a Du’a list ahead of time helps!) Beg that the day will not come to an end except that Allah has forgiven you all your sins and written you of those He has freed from the Fire.

Please remember us in your Dua's too on this blessed day.

He chooses you out of millions of people to travel across the world and ask for forgiveness in the place on earth. Your mission is to accept it, is to work on making your Hajj acknowledged by Allah. This means that you fulfill all the requirements and avoid all the actions that nullify Hajj such that you come back home purified from all sins,
