The ten days of Dhul Hijjah and the reward of good deeds

These ten virtuous blessings have come upon us while we are still in the sludge of the Korean epidemic, which spoiled the taste of life, the heaviest nations, states, peoples and individuals buried heavily, and slaughtered many servants, but it will not affect the morale of Muslims who desire what God has and the hereafter, but rather its survival in these virtuous days A strong motivation for a Muslim to become more celibate to his Lord, both desire and dread, as it is a season of good deeds. The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “There are no days of good deeds in them that are dearer to God than these ten days ..”, and good deeds are comprehensive for all good deeds From prayer, fasting, zakat, charity, reading and remembrance ..

And the greatest act after the obligatory prayers is the supplication that is the brain of worship, which pays the affliction, which is easier to perform and more rewarding; Because it means humiliating the honorable Lord and submitting to his hands and showing the lack of it .., and this is what the honorable Master wants from His servants as it was stated, “He who does not ask God to be angry with Him”, and this is indicated by his saying to the Almighty: “Your Lord said to me, I will obey you.” From my worshipers they will enter Hellfire in another way, for the noble verse was named for those who did not ask God Almighty arrogant, and those who were arrogant in the place of the Lord’s wrath, Glory be to Him, as stated in the hadith of al-Qudsi: “Greatness is Azari, and pride is my robe, so whoever fights me in one of them, The arrogant is to rise above others, even if he needs it. Likewise, it is not from the weak and poor servant to his wealthy master, glory be to Him who loves the matter and answers the questioners. What is more urgent for us in these days is the urgency of praying that God Almighty expedite the lifting of the affliction and the health of us!

Let us take advantage of it to the satisfaction of our Lord, just as the righteous predecessor used it to strive for worship, remembrance and close obedience to the slave at his slave, for the slave is still approaching his slave with reverence until he loves him, as it was mentioned, and God Almighty called these days the days of his remembrance and thanksgiving, so Glory be to Him: For the livelihood of their beasts of cattle, and the days of information are these ten, and the counts are the day of Eid and the days of Tashreeq, as they said:

The days of Tashreeq are information * and the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are numbered

What was narrated by Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, was mentioned in the virtue of good deeds in these days that the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “There are no days in the world that are more beloved to God, may He be glorified, to be worshiped in them from the ten days, and if fasting a day in them is equivalent to fasting a year , And a night in which there is a night of fate ».

The righteous predecessors were the most diligent in it, as Al-Bukhari narrated a translation in "The Chapter of Work Excellence in the Days of Tashreeq", he said: "Ibn Omar and Abu Huraira will go to the market in the ten days grow up, and the people will grow up by enlarging them."

People have asked about the comparison between this ten and the last ten of the month of Ramadan, and some of them saw their preference over the last ten of Ramadan for the previous hadith of Ibn Omar, and we see that each of them has a great favor, but the last ten of the month of Ramadan is better; Because the tenth of Ramadan has privacy that is not found in others, and it is the Night of Power which is better than a thousand months, and this does not exist in the tenth of Dhu al-Hijjah nor in other times, so people are free to work in the last ten days of Ramadan for this purpose is what the Prophet prayed for May God be upon him, his family, and his companions, by saying and doing, so if he entered the ten years, he revived his night and awakened his family and tightened his apron, and in some accounts he did not taste a mystery, and in others he continued his fasting to magic, and he used to do i'tikaaf in it, and he did not leave until after the Eid prayed ....

Generally speaking, a Muslim should be keen on doing good deeds at all virtuous times whenever he has the opportunity to realize them, because he does not guarantee the realization of the last time and if he realizes it, he does not know what to reconcile or not.

As they said:

If your wind blows, seize it * then every whip will be still

And do not sit back from charity in it * Do not know the stillness when it is.
