Dhul-Hijjah Benefit #4

The Great Virtues of the First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah Ibn Al-Jawzi rahimahullah said: Know, may Allah have mercy on you, that these ten days are not like any other ten days, because they contain ten special virtues: {❶} First: Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, swore by them when He said: “And by the ten nights.” When Allah, the Most Great, swears by something, it shows its greatness and importance. {❷} Second: Allah called them the “known days” when He said: “And mention the Name of Allah during the known days.” Ibn ‘Abbas said: “These are the ten days.” {❸} Third: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ testified that they are the best days of this world. {❹} Fourth: The Prophet ﷺ encouraged doing righteous deeds during them. {❺} Fifth: He ﷺ instructed us to increase in saying tasbeeh (SubhanAllah), tahmeed (Alhamdulillah), and tahleel (La ilaha illAllah) during these days. {❻} Sixth: They contain the Day of Tarwiyah. {❼} Seventh: They contain the Day of ‘Arafah, and fasting on that day expiates the sins of two years. {❽} Eighth: They contain the Night of Jam‘, which is the night spent in Muzdalifah. {❾} Ninth: They contain Hajj, which is one of the five pillars of Islam. {❿} Tenth: They contain the sacrifice (Ud-hiyah), which is a symbol of the religion of Ibrahim and the legislation of Muhammad ﷺ. [At-Tabsirah by Ibn Al-Jawzi (2/127)] Credit: Umm Abdulkareem Al-Barawiyyah _ In short: These ten days are the greatest days because they combine acts of worship that are not combined during any other days, such as fasting, slaughtering, Hajj, and other righteous deeds.
