  • Good deeds in these days are greater in reward than jihad, except for one who goes out risking himself and his wealth and does not return with either
  • Fasting any of the first nine days is highly recommended, especially the Day of Arafah
  • Increase Takbeer (Allahu Akbar), Tahmeed (Alhamdulillah), and Tahleel (La ilaha illallah)
  • Give charity generously — rewards are multiplied during these blessed days
  • Offer Udhiyah (sacrifice) on Eid al-Adha as an act of worship
  • Recite the Quran abundantly and make sincere supplications

What is Dhul Hijjah?

Dhul Hijjah is the twelfth and final month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar. It is one of the four sacred months in Islam. The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are considered the most blessed days of the entire year, during which the Hajj pilgrimage takes place. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized the importance of good deeds during these days, stating that they are more beloved to Allah than deeds on any other days.

The Day of Arafah — The Greatest Day

The 9th of Dhul Hijjah is the Day of Arafah, considered the greatest day of the year. For those not performing Hajj, fasting on this day is highly recommended. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Fasting the Day of Arafah expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year." It is also a day of immense supplication, as Allah frees more people from the Hellfire on this day than any other.

Eid al-Adha — The Festival of Sacrifice

Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah and is the greater of the two Eid celebrations. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah. Muslims who are able offer Udhiyah (animal sacrifice) and distribute the meat among family, friends, and those in need. The celebration continues for three days (Ayyam al-Tashreeq).
