The first 10 are approaching!

Among the great seasons of worship are the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah, which Allah has favoured over other days. It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (ra) that the Prophet (saw) said: “There are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allaah than these ten days.” They said: “Not even jihad for the sake of Allaah?” He said: “Not even jihad for the sake of Allaah, unless a man goes out himself for jihad taking his wealth with him and does not come back with anything.” ~Al Bukhari

As these days approach us, remember to pay attention to doing good deed including (but not limited to) the following:

1 – Fasting

2 – Reciting tahmeed, tahleel and takbeer a great deal

3- Give Charity

4- Pray extra prayers

5- Read QurĂ¡n and do lots of dhikr
