Zakir Naik – Good Deeds on the First 10 Days of Dhul Hijjah

The second place where the Quran refers

to

the first sentence of the is

in Surah Al Hajj,

chapter number 22,

Verse number 28. Allah

says

that they witness

the benefits which have been provided,

and they celebrate

the name of Allah through

the days appointed.

Here,

these days are referring to the 1st 10

days of the lijjah.

And ibn Hajar

alaskalani,

May Allah have mercy on him. He writes

in Futulbari

that these first 10 days of Dhul Ijja

are the only 10 days in the full

year

where any Muslim

can simultaneously

perform

all the 5 pillars, all the 5 harayd

of Islam

if he wants to. Yes.

He can

implement on the tawhid.

He can offer salah.

Some at least together in the 1st 10

days. He can give zakat if he hasn't

given. If you're obligated to charity or give

extra charity,

he

can fast

and he can also perform Hajj. These are

the only days in the full year where

a person can simultaneously

perform

all the 5 pillars of Islam. It is

mentioned

in Sayyid Bukhari.

World number 2, hadith number 969.

May Allah be pleased with him. He said

that the beloved prophet Musallam said,

there are no good deeds

done on any other days

better

than done

during

the first 10 days of dulija than during

these days.

And

the sahabas,

the companions, they asked,

not even jihad? And the prophet replied, not

even jihad. Unless

a person

puts in danger

his life and wealth in the way of

Allah

and does not return with any. That means

he goes for jihad and he's martyred in

the way of Allah

That means our beloved prophet Musaallahu alaihi wa

sallam said, the good deeds done during the

1st 10 days of the lija better than

any deed done on any other days of

the year, including

jihad, unless

if the person is martyred and he loses

his wealth and life

during jihad. That's the only one

good deed

which cannot be better. Otherwise,

the deed done

on the first end of the lija are

better than any deed done on any other

day of the year.

It is so important.

And, unfortunately,

this sunnah of doing good deeds

during the first tender of dulija is forgotten.

It's further mentioned

in Sahih Muslim.

Point number 3, hadith number

2747.

When the prophet asked

regarding

fasting

on Yom al Arafah.

The prophet said, it expiates

the sins of the previous year and the

coming year.

That means

the most important fast

after the further fast of Ramadan is fasting

on normal RFI. It expedites

your sins of the previous year as well

as the coming year.

There are some scholars who say that

the fasting

of Ashura,

10th of Muram, is the most important because

of the hadith that the most important fast

after the Fardwat is the fasting

on Yomura Sura.

But the different opinion but the correct opinion

is that Yomura fasting

is fast superior because it expedites the sins

of the previous year and the following year,

whereas

fasting on Ashura

expedites only the sin of the previous year.

But there's unanimous agreement that these two fasts

of yawmal alafa

and fasting

on Ashura are the 2 most important fasts

after

the fasting of the month of Ramadan.

It's mentioned

in Sunan Abu Dawood,

1 number 3, hadith number 2437,

that one of the wives of the prophet

said

that

the messenger of Allah fasted

during the first 9 days of dulillija

and during Ashura

and 3 days every month, the 1st Monday

2 Thursdays.

So So from this hadith, we come to

know that the prophet fasted the first 9

days of the ludra.

That means it is highly recommended

to fast on all the first 9 days

of the riksha.

One may ask, why not fast all the

10 days of the riksha?

The answer is given

in Sahibuhari,

1 room 3, hadith number 1991

where the beloved prophet said

that he forbid

fasting on

Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha.

These are the 2 ids of celebration

of eating and drinking. So it is prohibited

to fast on the 2

idul fitar and idul adha. That's the reason

we don't have to fast the first 10

days

of the religion. Though the first 10 days

are the most important days of the year,

we only file during the 1st 9 days

of Dhulija. It further mentioned

inside Muslim,

volume number 3, hadith number

26

79. The beloved prophet said

that no one shall enter paradise

except a believer.

And the days of mina are the days

of eating and drinking. That means a Muslim

should not even fast on

a.

The 3 days following

the.

That is the 11th,

12th,

and 13th

of

because these are the days of eating and

drinking and feasting. So besides the Eid,

a Muslim should not even fast on

the that is 11th, 12th, and 13th of

the rija.
