The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “There are no days greater and more beloved to Allah than these ten days of Dhul Hijjah, so increase in them your declaration of the oneness of Allah, your exaltation of Him, and your praise of Him.”
Here are 10 deeds to do during these 10 days
Here are 10 deeds to do during these 10 days
1. Like the hadith said, increase in your remembrance of Allah. This includes making more dhikr and being fully present when remembering Him & thanking Him.
2. Fasting all 9 days if possible! Ramadan was two months ago & fasting more shouldn't be too difficult. However, if it is or you aren’t able, make the intention to fast the 9th day (Arafah).
Arafah is an expiation for two years of sins (!!!) don't miss out. Arafah falls on Thursday, July 30th this year.
For those who can’t fast this year due to (menses, medically unable, pregnant, etc..) — make the intention anyways.
You will be rewarded as if you did.

3. Seek forgiveness. These are the best 10 days! Allah's mercy is all-encompassing and close to those who seek it. Make a goal of 100+ istighfar everyday. Challenge yourself.
4. Give more. There's an amazing campaign that @LaunchGood is doing where you can donate everyday to a different cause. https://www.launchgood.com/dhchome#!/dhc/onboard/giving-goal?src=WebsiteHomepageBlock
5. Recite more Qur'ān. Deeds are multiplied and you are rewarded for every letter you recite. Do the math!
6. Increase in ur sunan. This can be more voluntary prayers or actions. By starting these actions now you can make them a part of you everyday by starting with the intention.
7. Reflect more. Seriously reflect on the blessings you've been given this past year & show gratitude. Use these 10 days to reflect. Dhul-Hijjah is the last month of the Islamic year.
8. Call more. Dua, dua, dua! These 10 days are the best days in the year. What do you think that says about the dua made with a sincere heart? It’s a great time to set intentions and persist in prayer.
9. Send more salawat (peace and blessings on our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). This is an opportunity to also reflect on the legacy of Ibrahim (as), his wife Hajar and son Isma’il (peace be upon them all).
10. The 10th day of these days is Eid Al-Adha so make sure you celebrate the joy of this day. That joy is also a blessing, Alhamdulilah — May Allah grant us all success and acceptance.
