“There are no days wherein righteous actions are more beloved to
Allaah than these ten days.” They said: Not even jihad in the way of Allaah? He
said: “Not even jihad in the way of Allaah, except for a man who leaves out
(for jihad) with his wealth and self and doesn’t return back with any of
them.”[Ibn 'Abbaas-Saheeh Bukhaaree]
So with this I strongly encourage my muslim brothers to sieze
this tremendous opportunity, to perform many righteous actions in these ten
days from recitation of the Qur’aan, rememberance of Allaah, charity, fasting,
etc, strive to perform many different acts of obedience.
Its’ very troubling to see that the people are heedless about
these ten days. Do you not find them exerting themselves in the last ten nights
of Ramadan? Na’m of course they exert themselves in them. However with the ten
days of Dhul-Hijjah you will be hard pressed to find one who differentiates
between them and other than them. But if a person performs righteous actions in
these ten days he revives that which the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon
him, instructed with doing.
