As the month of Zulhijjah is only a few days away, let us gently remind one another that the first 10 days of Zulhijjah are the best days in this world โ the most beloved and virtuous days in the sight of Allah โAzza wa Jalla.
-------
As preparation, let us plan and increase the acts of worship we are able to do in order to attain the immense rewards Allah has prepared.
1๏ธโฃPerform the obligatory prayers and increase voluntary (sunnah) prayers.
2๏ธโฃFast from the 1st to the 9th of Zulhijjah if possible. If unable to fast all days, try your best to fast on the 9th of Zulhijjah (Day of Arafah), as its virtue includes the expiation of sins for two years.
3๏ธโฃRecite the Qurโan as much as possible โ strive to complete at least one juzโ a day. Repeatedly recite surahs with great virtues, such as:
