By the counting of the NSCIA, today is the 25th of Dhul-Qa’dah. This means the sacred month of Dhul-Hijjah—the final month of the Islamic calendar—will begin either this Monday (28th) or Tuesday (29th).

With its arrival comes the most spiritually rich days of the entire year—the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.

Let this sink in for a moment:

These days are more beloved to Allah than even the days of the last ten of Ramadan.
Yes, those blessed days and nights you strove so hard in—these ten days are even greater in reward.

Ibn ‘Abbas reported that the Prophet ﷺ said:

“There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.”
The companions asked, “Not even Jihad?”
He replied, “Not even Jihad in the path of Allah, except a man who goes out with his life and wealth and returns with neither.”
(Narrated by al-Daarimi)

What kind of days could be so immense that not even Jihad matches their reward?

These are days filled with mercy, with light, with opportunity. They are gates opened to Jannah, waiting for the faithful to walk through.

If you’re not among the pilgrims, don’t feel left out. Allah has gifted you ways to earn immense reward right where you are:
Fasting
The Prophet ﷺ used to fast the first nine days of Dhul-Hijjah, especially the 9th—The Day of ‘Arafah, which wipes out sins of the previous year and the coming one.
Can you imagine? Two whole years of sins forgiven for one sincere fast.

Dhikr
Revive your heart with remembrance:

Allahu Akbar

Alhamdulillah

La ilaaha illAllah

SubhaanAllah
Say it often. Say it with love. Say it out loud (for men), and softly (for women). Let your home, your commute, and your heart echo with it.

Repentance
These are days to clean your slate. Turn to Allah and say, “O Allah, I return to You. I regret my sins, I seek Your mercy.”
He is waiting for you. Don’t delay.

Udhiyah (Sacrifice)
Offer a strong, healthy animal in gratitude and love. Not the blood or the meat, but your taqwa (consciousness of Allah) will rise to the heavens.
As Allah says:

“Their meat will not reach Allah, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is your piety...” (Surah Al-Hajj 22:37)

Let’s not waste this gift.
These days are not ordinary days. You may not live to witness them again. Make them count.

May Allah grant us sincerity, strength, and the ability to fill these days with fasting, dhikr, charity, repentance, and sacrifice. May He write us among those whom He loves and forgives.
Ameen.
