Zilhajj 1439


Holy Month of DhilHajj

The *first ten days* of this month are full of significance and merit.

The Holy Prophet (s) has said: There are no days when Allah is as pleased with good deeds as He is in these ten days

1. *Keep fast on the first 9 days of the month of Dhilhijja (not on the 10th)*
In a tradition from Imam Musa Kazim (as), if a person fasts on the first nine days of Dhilhijja, Allah (swt) gives him the reward of a lifetime of fasting.

2. In the nights of the first 10 days,
*between the Maghrib and Ishaa Salaats pray a 2 Rak—a’t Salaat as under*
(The reward of offering this prayer is to participate in the rewards of those who go for Hajj) :

In every Rak—a’t, after the recitation of Soorah Al Faatih’ah, recite Soorah Al Ikhlaas and the following verse (7:142)

[And when We did appoint for Moosa thirty nights, and added to them ten; and he completed the whole time appointed by his Lord of forty nights; and Moosa said unto his brother:

“Take my place among the people. Do right, and do not follow the way of the mischief-makers”.]
