The First Ten Days of Dhul Ḥijjah
By Shaykh Mawlānā Muhammad Saleem Dhorat hafiẓahullah

1. Allāh Ta’ala has taken an oath of ten nights in Sūrah Al-Fajr. According to the majority of the commentators of Qur’ān, the nights are those of the (first) ten days of Dhul Ḥijjah.


2. 'Abdullāh Ibn ‘Abbās (Radhiallahu Anhuma) related that the Prophet (Sallallahu Allahi Wasallam) said, “Good deeds performed on other days are not superior to those performed on these (first ten days of Dhul Ḥijjah).” The Companions (Radhiallahu Anhum) inquired, “Not even jihād?” He replied, “Not even jihād, except for that person who goes out putting himself and his wealth in danger and does not return with anything.” (Al-Bukhārī)


3. 'Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbās (Radhiallahu Anhuma) narrated that Rasūlullāh (Sallallahu Allahi Wasallam) said, “On no other days are good deeds more liked by Allāh than on these ten days (i.e. The first ten days of Dhul Ḥijjah).” The Ṣahābah (Radhiallahu Anhum) asked, “ O Rasūlullāh (Sallallahu Allahi Wasallam)! Not even jihād in the Way of Allāh?” Rasūlullāh (Sallallahu Allahi Wasallam) replied, “Not even jihād in the Way of Allāh, except for that person who goes out with his life and wealth and does not return with anything.” (Abū Dāwūd, At-Tirmidhī, Ibn Mājah)


4. Abū Hurayrah (Radhiallahu Anhu) related that Rasūlullāh (Sallallahu Allahi Wasallam) said, “On no days is the worship of Allāh desired more than in the (first) ten days of Dhul Ḥijjah. The fast of each of these days is equal to the fast of a whole year, and the worship of each of these nights is equal to the worship of Laylatul Qadr.” (At-Tirmidhi, Ibn Mājah)


5. The mother of the believers, Ḥafṣah (Radhiallahu Anha) reports that Rasūlullāh (Sallallahu Allahi Wasallam) used to fast the (first) nine days of Dhul Ḥijjah. (Abū Dāwūd, An-Nasā’ī, Aḥmad)


6. 'Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar (Radhiallahu Anhuma) related that Rasūlullāh (Sallallahu Allahi Wasallam) said, “No days are as weighty with Allāh and so liked by Him for good deeds than the first ten days of Dhul Ḥijjah. So on these days increasingly read Subḥānallāh, Lā ilāha illallāh, Alḥamdulillāh and Allāhu Akbar.” (Aḥmad)

Virtues of the Day of 'Arafah (9th Dhul Ḥijjah)


1. ‘Ā’ishah (Radhiallahu Anha) reports that Rasūlullāh (Sallallahu Allahi Wasallam) said, “ There is no day in which Allāh sets free more souls from the fire of hell than on the day of 'Arafāt. And on that day Allāh draws near to the earth and by way of exhibiting His Pride remarks to the angels, ‘What is the desire of these (servants of mine)?” (Muslim)


2. Ṭalḥah (Radhiallahu Anhu) reports that Rasūlullāh (Sallallahu Allahi Wasallam) said, “Apart from the day of the Battle of Badr there is no day on which the Shayṭān is seen to be more humiliated, more rejected, more depressed and more infuriated, than on the day of 'Arafāt, and indeed all this is only because of beholding the abundance of descending mercy (on the day) and Allāh’s forgiveness of the great sins of the servants.” (Mishkāt)


3. Abū Qatādah Al-Anṣārī (Radhiallahu Anhu) narrated that Rasūlullāh (Sallallahu Allahi Wasallam) was asked about the fast on the day of 'Arafāt. He said, “It compensates for the (minor) sins of the past and the coming year.” (Muslim, At-Tirmidhī, Ibn Mājah)

Night of ‘Īd-al-Aḍḥā


The nights of both ‘Īds are described in the Ḥadīth as amongst the great and sacred nights in the Muslim calendar. To remain awake on the nights of ‘Īd and perform ‘ibādah is a source of great virtue and reward.


1. Abū ‘Umārah (Radhiallahu Anhu) related that ‘Ā’ishah (Radhiallahu Anha) reports that Rasūlullāh (Sallallahu Allahi Wasallam) said, “Whosoever stays awake and performs ‘ibādah (worship) on the nights of the two ‘Īds, with hope for abundant reward (from Allāh Ta’ala), his heart will not die on the day (i.e. Qiyāmah) when all hearts will be dead.” (At-Targhīb)


2. Mu‘ādh Ibn Jabal (Radhiallahu Anhu) relates that Rasūlullāh (Sallallahu Allahi Wasallam) said, “Jannat is wājib (incumbent) for those who stay awake with the intention of making ‘ibādah on the following nights: 8th, 9th and 10th of Dhul Ḥijjah, the night of ‘Īd-al-Fiṭr and the night of the 15th of Sha‘bān.” (At-Targhīb)

Virtues of Uḍḥiyah (Qurbānī)


Rasūlullāh (Sallallahu Allahi Wasallam) said, “There is nothing dearer to Allāh during the days of Uḍḥiyah than the sacrificing of animals. The sacrificed animal shall come on the Day of Judgement with its horns, hair, and hooves (to be weighed). The sacrifice is accepted by Allāh before the blood reaches the ground. Therefore sacrifice with an open and happy heart.” (At-Tirmidhī, Ibn Mājah)

Takbirāt of Tashrīq


The Takbirāt of Tashrīq are:

Allāhu Akbar, Allāhu Akbar,
Lā ilāha illallāhu wallāhu Akbar,
Allāhu Akbar, Walil lāhil ḥamd.

“Allāh is the Greatest, Allāh is the Greatest. There is no deity besides Allāh and Allāh is the Greatest. Allāh is the Greatest and all praises are for Allāh only.”


It is wājib for every adult Muslim to recite these Takbirāt of Tashrīq audibly once after every farḍ ṣalāh from the Fajr of 9th Dhul Ḥijjah to the ‘Aṣr of 13th Dhul Ḥijjah (i.e. total of 23 ṣalāh).


• Mas’alah: Women should not say it loudly but softly.


• Mas’alah: Takbīr should be recited immediately after concluding the farḍ prayer.
