The Many Blessings of the Ten Days of Dhul Hijja – Nur Sacred Sciences

Once more a period of divine blessing has dawned upon us, bringing with it its zephyrs of divine mercy and opportunity.  For truly, it is not that one sacred season of devotion ends, except that another opportunity for attaining God’s forgiveness, bounty, and self-purification begins.  In these cycles of sacred times, we find the heavenly gift of a renewed chance to replenish our souls and seek God’s reward and proximity.

Among the reports transmitted regarding the sanctity of the first ten days of Dhul Ḥijja, the following has been related on the authority of Ibn ʿAbbas that the Prophet (PBUH) said:  “There are no days in which [good] actions are superior than in these days.” It was asked, “Not even fighting for the sake of God?”  He replied, “Not even fighting for the sake of God, except that a person sets out with his life and his wealth and returns with neither.”

On the authority of Abū Hurayra, the Messenger of God (PBUH) said: “There are no days more beloved to God that He be worshipped in them than the ten days of Dhul Ḥijja.  Each day of fasting in it is equivalent to the fast of an entire year.  And each night standing in prayer is equivalent to standing in prayer on the Night of Power (Laylat al-Qadr).
