THE FIRST TEN DAYS OF ZUL HIJJAH
Hazrat Ibn Abbas (R. A) relates that Rasulullah (S.A.W.) said "On no other days are
good deeds more liked by Allah than on these days meaning the first ten days of Zil
Hijjah". The Sahaabah (R.A.) asked: "O Rasul ullah (S.A.W.), not even Jihad in the way
of Allah?" Rasul ullah (S.A.W.) replied: "Not even Jihad in the way of Allah, except for
that person who goes out to fight with his life and wealth and does not return with
anything."
[Bukhara]
Rasul ullah (S.A.W.) said: "On no days is the worship of Allah desired more than in the
first ten days of Zil Hijjah. The fast of each of these days is equal to the fast of a whole
year, and the Ibaadat (worship) of each of these nights is equal to the Ibaadat of
Laylatul Qadr.
