The Prophet (saw) said, ’There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than on the day of ‘Arafah’. Just as Laylat al-Qadr is the most blessed night of the year, ‘Arafah is the most blessed day of the year. If you are unable to fast for the whole nine days, try to fast on just the Day of ’Arafah, the 9th of Dhul Hijjah. In a hadith Qudsi, Allah says, “All the deeds of the son of Adam are for him, except fasting, which is for Me and I shall reward for it”. It is Sunnah to fast on the first nine days of Dhul-Hijjah, because fasting is one of the best of deeds. These simple measures will ensure you are remembering Allah throughout the day and benefitting from the blessings of Dhul Hijjah.
Reciting Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi (Glory be to Allah and praise Him) one hundred times a day will wipe away sins - no matter how burdensome they are. You can also make dhikr after your five daily prayers - Subhan-Allah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times, and Allahu Akbar 34 times. The Eid takbeer is an example of dhikr that ticks all three of these boxes - tahleel, takbeer and tahmeed. In Makkah, the Talbiyah will be on every pilgrim’s tongue throughout the day and night those at home have also been commanded to praise Allah constantly in these ten days. Let’s begin with a simple yet effective action - increasing your dhikr. Here is a list of the top 10 Sunnah’s you should follow to seek Allah’s forgiveness and maximise your reward during the best ten days of the year: The Prophet (saw) said, ‘There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than in these (ten) days’. Therefore, we must take the opportunity to increase our acts of worship to draw closer to Allah and seek his pleasure during this sacred time. So sacred are these ten days, that Allah swears an oath by them when He says in the Quran: ‘By the dawn by the ten nights’ and He reminds us in Surah al-Baqarah to remember him during these blessed days ‘Remember Allah during the appointed days’. The first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are the most virtuous days of the year where Allah (swt) has blessed his Ummah with the opportunity to multiply their reward through His infinite mercy.
