Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 89:01-02). ‘Wa l-Fajr 01 Wa Layālin ‘Ashr’, ‘By the dawn 01 And [by] ten nights.’ Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla makes an oath in this Surah, special for these ten nights. From the 1st of Dhu l-Hijjah until 10th of Dhu l-Hijjah. He ﷻ is praising these days and saying an oath for these very holy ten nights. They begin tonight until the first day of Eid ul Adha.

AlhamduliLlah Allah ﷻ made every time as a reason to give us more from His ﷻ favors; to get more rewards and to get more blessings. Some ‘Ulama/scholars say that these are better than Ramadan because in Ramadan we don’t know which [night] is Laylatu l-Qadr, but this is clearly known. And Allah ﷻ said it to people in order for them to get rewards and blessings from these days.

Everything related to Hajj is very holy and special. It is once a year and there are many things to do in these days for Hajjis and for non-Hajjis. For this, we should do as much as we can from charity, Sadaqah, praying and Salawat. From what we can do, we should make it more than other days insha’Allah. There are too many things that the Prophet ﷺ was doing. We see here and there that they are saying to do these things. Maybe you cannot do all of them; but as much as we can do, we should at least make it more than normal days.

Insha’Allah may Allah ﷻ make it Mubarak, blessed for the Ummah and for all human beings also; for them to get rewards from Allah ﷻ, and to be safe from bad intentions and from shaytan and his followers insha’Allah. Insha’Allah Mubarak.

Wa l-hamdu li-Llahi Rabbi l-‘Alamin. Al-Fatiha.
