VIRTUES OF THE FIRST TEN DAYS OF DHUL HIJJAH. Ibn ‘Abbaas (RadhiyAllahu anhum) reported that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allaah than these ten days." The people asked, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah?" He said, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 2/457). Abdullah ibn Umar (RadhiyAllahu anhum) reported that, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "There are no days greater in the sight of Allah and in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Him than these ten days, so during this time recite a great deal of tahleel (la ilaha illallah), takbeer (Allahu akbar) & tahmeed (Alhamdulillah)." Reported by Ahmad, 7/224; Ahmad Shaakir stated that it is saheeh. Here is an advise from Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid (Rahimahullah): "There is much to be gained, so make the most of the opportunity afforded by these invaluable and irreplaceable ten days. Hasten to do good works, before death strikes, before one can regret one’s negligence and failure to act, before one is asked to return to a place where no prayers will be answered, before death intervenes between the hopeful one and the things he hopes for, before you are trapped with your deeds in the grave. O you whose hard heart is as dark as the night, is it not time that your heart was filled with light and became soft? Expose yourself to the gentle breeze of your Lord’s mercy during these ten days, for Allaah will cause this breeze to touch whomever He wills, and whoever is touched by it will be happy on the Day of Judgement. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and all his Family and Companions." # Today (Sunday, 5th of October, 2013) marks the 1st of Dhul Hijjah, 1434AH#
