The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days." meaning the (first) ten days of Dhul Hijjah.

📚: Ibn Majah 1727 | Sahih

🌙 UNRESTRICTED TAKBIRAT START FROM THE TIME THE CRESCENT OF DHUL-HIJJAH IS WITNESSED

🎓 [Shaikh] Khālid Ibn Dahwī adh-Dhafīrī.

👑 The mention and vocalisation of the unrestricted takbīrāt begin from the time the sun sets on the night preceding the first day of Dhul-Hijjah.

👑And these are the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.

📌The takbīr is of two types:

1. Unrestricted takbīr: meaning that which is not restricted to a particular time; and this refers to all of the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah right through to the last of the days of tashrīq.

2. Restricted takbīr:
meaning the takbīr that is recited after the daily prayers, beginning from Fajr prayer on the day of ‘Arafah (9th Dhul-Hijjah) until ‘Asr prayer in the last day of the days of tashrīq (i.e. the 13th Dhul-Hijjah).

It is Sunnah to recite

Takbir (saying Allahu akbar (Allah is most great)),

Tahmid (saying al-hamdu Lillah (praise be to Allah)),

Tahlil (saying La ilaha ill-Allah (There is no god but Allah)) and

Tasbih (saying Subhan-Allah (Glory be to Allah)),

during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, saying these words out loud in the mosques, homes, streets and every place in which it is permissible to remember Allah, to perform this act of worship openly and proclaim the greatness of Allah.

Men should recite out loud and women should recite quietly.

THE TAKBIR IS AS FOLLOWS:

Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, la ilaha ill-Allah, Allahu akbar, wa Lillah il-hamd
(Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, there is no god but Allah; Allah is Most Great and to Allah be praise)

This takbir has become a forsaken Sunnah nowadays, especially at the beginning of these ten days. You can hardly hear it except from a few. It should be recited out loud, so as to revive the Sunnah and remind the heedless.

THE SUPERIORITY OF Al-HAJJ Al-MABRUR 🕋

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:

"(The performance of) Umrah is an expiation for the sins committed between it and the previous one.

And the reward of Al-Hajj Al-Mabrur (the one accepted by Allah) is nothing but Paradise."

📚: Sahih Bukhari 1773

Narrated Aisha (رضي الله عنها), the mother of the faithful believers: I said: "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We consider Jihad as the best deed. Should we (women) not participate in Jihad?"

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The best Jihad (for women) is Hajj Mabrur (the one accepted by Allah.)"

📚: Sahih Bukhari 1520

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

"Whoever performs Hajj for Allah's sake only and does not have sexual relations with his wife, and does not do evil or sins; then he will return (after Hajj, free from all sins) as if he was born anew."

📚: Sahih Bukhari 1521

Al-Hajj Al-Mabrur most probably means the Hajj which is performed with the intention of seeking Allah's Pleasures only and is in accordance with the Prophet's legal ways; without committing sins and is acceptable to Allah ✨

Tomorrow is the day of Arafah
Don't forget to fast In sha Allāh!

The Prophet ﷺ was asked about the fasting of the day of Arafah, he ﷺ replied: “it wipes away the sins of the previous year and of the coming year". (Sahih Muslim: 1126)

The scholars have mentioned that this is the best and most rewarding voluntary fasting of the year.

Make an intention to fast this day before Fajr of the day of Arafah, so that you earn the maximum reward possible.

Otherwise, the one who makes an intention after Fajr and still hasn’t eaten anything, his reward will start from the time he made his intention.

THE PROHIBITION OF FASTING The Days of at-Tashriq 🚫

• The Days of Tashriq Are 11th, 12th & 13th of Dhul Hijjah.

Narrated Aisha (رضي الله عنها) and Ibn Umar (رضي الله عنهم):

"Nobody was allowed to fast on the days of Tashriq except those who could not afford the Hady (animals for sacrifice)."

📚: Sahih Bukhari 1998

It is prohibited (haram) to fast on the days of Tashriq, whether that is a voluntary fast or an obligatory fast, except for those pilgrims who could not find an animal to sacrifice. These are the days of eating, drinking and remembering Allah.

~ the month of Muharram 1444 has begun Alhamdulillah! ~

• FASTING In The Month of MUHARRAM ✨

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

"The best fast after Ramadan is Allah's month, Muharram and the best prayer after the obligatory prayers is prayer at night (tahajjud)."

📚: Sahih Muslim 1163

• FASTING On The Day of ASHURA ✨

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"Fasting the day of Ashura (10th of Muharram), I hope, will expiate for the sins of the previous year."

📚: Ibn Majah 1738 | Sahih

10 Virtues of the 10th of Muharram (Day of ‘Ashura)

There are certain days in the year which are more virtuous than others. One such day is the 10th of Muharram which is known as the day of ‘Ashura.
Following are 10 virtues of this day found in the Qur’an and Sunnah:

1. It is in a sacred month
Allah mentions in the Qur’an that there are 4 sacred months:
“Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred.. ” (Surah At-Tawbah, Verse 36)
And in a Hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said,
“The year is twelve months of which four are sacred, the three consecutive months of Dhul-Qa’dah, Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab Mudar which comes between Jumadah and Sha’ban.” (Sahih Al Bukhari)
The 4 sacred months are: Dhul Qa’dah, Dhul Hijjah, Muharram and Rajab.

2. Prophet Musa and his people were saved on this day
On this day, Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) and the Children of Israeel were saved from Pharoah and his pursuing army.
“Then We inspired to Moses, “Strike with your staff the sea,” and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain. And We advanced thereto the pursuers. And We saved Moses and those with him, all together. Then We drowned the others. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers. And indeed, your Lord – He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.” (Surah Ash Shu’arah, Verses 63-68)

3. Prophet Nuh’s Ark came to rest on Mount Judi on this day
In a narration reported by Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him), it was on this day that the Ark of Nuh (peace be upon him) came to rest on Mount Judi. (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

4. The Prophet would fast on this day even before Prophethood
In a hadith in the Muwatta of Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him), it has been mentioned that in the era of ignorance (jahiliyyah), the polythiests of Makkah would fast on this day. It may have been due to a tradition of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
Imam Al Qurtubi (may Allah have mercy on him) has said,
“Perhaps Quraysh used to fast on that day on the basis of some past law, such as that of Ibrahim, upon whom be peace.”
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) would also fast on this day before prophethood.

5. Fasting on this day used to be obligatory
The significance of the 10th of Muharram was such, that it was obligatory to fast on this day. The prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the companions would fast on this day before the obligation was abrogated by the fasts of Ramadan.
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates in a hadith:
“Allah’s messenger ordered (the Muslims) to fast on the day of ‘Ashura, and when fasting in the month of Ramadan was prescribed, it became optional for one to fast on that day (Ashura) or not. (Sahih Al Bukhari)

6. The Prophet recommended the believers to fast on this day
Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said,
“The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to Madinah and saw the Jews fasting on the day of ‘Ashura’. He said, ‘What is this?’ They said, ‘This is a righteous day, it is the day when Allah saved the Children of Israel from their enemies, so Musa fasted on this day.’ He said,  'We have more right to Musa than you,’so he fasted on that day and commanded [the Muslims] to fast on that day.” Sahih Al Bukhari

7. It is the best fast after Ramadan
Fasting on the 10th of Muharram (‘Ashura) is the best fast after Ramadan.
“The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘The best of fasting after Ramadhan is fasting Allah’s month of Muharram.” (Sahih Muslim)
