The Importance and Significance of the
First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah
Dr Mozammel Haque
Every year Allah Subhanahu wa Taala has
given hundreds and thousands of rewards or the door of blessings and rewards
open for HIS slaves and worshippers – especially on two occasions – the last
ten days of Ramadan along with the blessed Night of Power (Lailatul Qadr)
immediately followed by a happy day for the worshippers – Eid-ul-Fitr.
Similarly, instead of last ten days, this time the first ten days of the month
of Dhul Hijjah is the blessed days – full of blessings and rewards from
Allah Subhanahu wa Taala along with Arafah Day (9th of Dhul
Hijjah) followed by a happy day – Eid-ul-Adha.
First day of Dhul-Hijjah
Monday,
19 June 2023
Saudi
Arabia has announced Dhul-Hijjah starts today, Monday, the 19th of June
2023 following the sighting of the crescent moon on Sunday
evening. Saudi Arabia announced that the five-day Eid-ul-Adha celebration will
begin on 28 June, 2023. This will be the 10th day of Dhul
Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic Hijri calender.
Arafat
Day on Tuesday, 27th of June 2023
Dhul-Hijjah,
the 12th month of this year 1444 Hijri begins today, Monday, 19
June 2023. Hajj will start on the 7th day of Dhul-Hijjah,
corresponding to 25th of June and end on the 11th day
of Dhul-Hijjah, corresponding to 29th of June. Arafat Day falls
on the 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah, corresponding to 27th of
June, 2023. Eid-ul-Adha will begin inshaAllah on Wednesday, the 28th of
June 2023.
Now
this first ten days of the month of Dhul Hijjah is very important and
significant. Those who have gone for Hajj they will be in Makkah, Mina, Arafah
and Muzdalifah. But those who are not in Makkah and other holy sites for them
these days are very important days too. The earlier Muslims used to take this
opportunity to make themselves better.
Importance
of First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah
About
the importance of the First ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, Prophet Muhammad peace and
blessings be upon him said: “There are no days on which righteous deeds are
more beloved to Allah than these ten days; meaning the first ten days of
Dhul-Hijjah. (Bukhari).
And
there is another Hadith about the fasting on the Arafat Day wherein Prophet
Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him said: “Fasting on the Day of Arafat
expiates the sins of the past year and the coming year.” (Muslim)
Eid Mubarak to all
of you and your families and everyone.
