The Best 10 days of the year

The Best 10 days of the year

Surah Al-Fajr
"By the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah)." [89:2]
- `The ten nights' refers to the (first) ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. This was said by Ibn `Abbas, Ibn Zubayr, Mujahid and others among the Salaf and the latter generations.
- It has been confirmed in Sahih Al-Bukhari from Ibn `Abbas that the Prophet said,
"There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days." meaning the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. They said, "Not even fighting Jihad in the way of Allah'' He replied, "Not even Jihad in the way of Allah; except for a man who goes out (for Jihad) with his self and his wealth, and he does not return with any of that."

May Allah guide us to do lots and lots of righteous deeds in these best 10 days! ameen.
