Ahmed Hamed – Welcoming The Best Ten Day – Dhul Hijja

Dhul Hijjah, the first 10 days of the

year

are the best

days

of the entire year, even

better than the days of Ramadan.

The prophet

he said,

The best days of the entire year are

the best in days of Dhul Hijjah. The

time has come. We must

ensure that we exert our efforts

in terms of gaining maximum rewards,

multiplying our hasanat

in these 10 days of Dhul Hijjah.

All praises belong to Allah

We praise him, we seek his help, his

assistance in all our matters. We send peace

and blessings upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu

Alaihi Wasallam, upon his family, his companions and

upon all those who follow him up until

the last day. My brothers and sisters, welcome

to do my Khutba summary. The topic

of today's

Khutba in Dubai is welcoming

the best 10 days of the year of

Dhul Hijjah. SubhanAllah.

Allah Subhanahu w'ta'ala,

He is extremely merciful

and He shows

mercy again and again

by giving us opportunities and possibilities

to be rewarded,

to

use some of the best times of the

entire year. And yes,

Dhul Hijjah, the first 10 days of the

year are the best

days

of the entire year.

SubhanAllah.

Yes, you heard it right. They are the

best 10 days of the entire year,

even better than the days of Ramadan.

Of course, nights of Ramadan

are better, the last 10 nights, but then

when it compares with the days,

the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah are

the best 10 days of the entire year.

SubhanAllah.

What is it that we must do? 1st

and foremost, we must understand and realise that

these are the best 10 days,

which helps us understand that we must do

best in these best 10 days.

The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he said, afdulud,

ayamid dunya

aya mulashr.

The best days of the entire year are

the best 10 days of Dhul Hijjah.

Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala, He takes oath of these 10

days. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in Suratul

Fajr,

by the dawn

and by the 10 nights

and these 10 nights are referred to as

the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah.

My brothers and sisters,

the prophet

he said, there are no

days

which are more beloved

and more greater to Allah

than these 10 days of Dhul Hijjah.

The deeds

that we do, the good deeds that we

do

in all the other years, they are, yes,

are beloved by

Allah but the comparison of doing good deeds

in these 10 days,

there isn't any, SubhanAllah.

So, we must ensure that we must increase

in the zikr of Allah

by saying, Allahu Akbar La Illaha illallah

alhamdulillah,

subhanAllah.

All these are the adkar which are

really

demanded for us to actually

do in these first 10 days of Dhul

Hijjah. The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he used

to fast for the first

9 days of Dhul Hijjah.

So, this is the

beauty of this season that it invites our

attention to another pillar of Islam,

that is Hajj.

Hajj, we know

it falls in Dhul Hijjah.

So, it's the performance

of

the pillar of Islam Al Hajj. We are

told to fast in this beautiful month. We're

told to remind and revive

our

sense of

tawhid

in Allah

We are told to ensure that we fix

our obligatory acts. We're told to give as

much as charity as possible.

We're told to do all the good deeds

in these 10 days of Dur Hijjah. My

brothers and sisters,

the time has come. We must

ensure

that we exert our efforts

in terms of gaining maximum rewards,

multiplying our hasanat

in these 10 days of Dhul Hijjah. So,

we must ensure

that we take up

some of the tasks

ensuring

that we perform those tasks,

especially beginning with

the farayd, with the obligatory acts,

then top it up with the voluntary acts

so that Insha'Allah, we will be rewarded immensely

by our Rahman,

the most gracious Allah

We ask Allah

to help us utilize

these best ten days of Dhul Hijjah.

We ask Allah, Subhanahu Ta'ala, to enable us,

empower us to perform the best deeds in

these beautiful days of Dul Hijjah. We ask

Allah

to grant well-being and goodness to his highness

Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president

of the UAE. We ask Allah Almighty to

grant and bless all the other rulers of

the Emirates. We ask Allah Almighty to protect

this beautiful nation, the UAE, from all kinds

of evils and hums. We ask Allah Almighty

to bless all the Muslims across the globe.

We ask Allah Almighty to ease their matters,

help them,

you know, remove from their suffering. We ask

Allah Almighty to grant guidance to the entire

humanity.
