1. Make a timetable for oneself for these first ten days of Dhul Hijah
One should make a timetable for oneself so that one can make the best of these 10 precious days. This can include the fact that one will read ALL the salat with jamaat or that one will read one or two juz at this or that time as well as including the nafl prayers that one will aim to pray and the amount of dhikr one will aim to do throughout the day or night and any ibadat (worship) that one will do at certain times etc. One should strive to worship on all if not at least as many of the first ten nights of Dhul Hijjah as is possible inshallah as these rewards are unmissable and time is short and we need as many good deeds as possible in order to please Allah before we are taken. Making a structured timetable may help one to better organise oneself especially during these precious 10 days so that one can maximise them and make best use of them.
2. Fasting the First Nine Days, Especially the Day of `Arafah (9th)
The scholars have concured that it is recommended to fast during the first nine days of Dhul Hijja.
Note, however, that the tenth day is the day of Eid, and is prohibitively disliked and sinful to fast this day. [Buhuti, Kashshaf al-Qina`; Nawawi,Majmu`; Fatawa Hindiyya; Haskafi, Durr al-Mukhtar; Dardir,al-Sharh al-Saghir] Of these, it is particularly recommended to fast the Day of `Arafah (9th of Dhul Hijjah), even for the one on Hajj in the Hanafi school, if it does not weaken the pilgrim from spending the day busy in worship. [Haskafi, Durr; Kasani, Badai`] As for hadiths in which the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) commanded against fasting this day for the pilgrim at `Arafah, this was understood by the Hanafi imams to refer to those whom it would weaken or tire. This was explained by Imam Tahawi. [Sharh Ma`ani alAthar, 2.82-83] This is because of the numerous hadiths that have come in praise of this day in particular and fasting in it. Among these is: Abu Qatada (Allah be pleased with him) related that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace be upon him, his family, and companions) said, Fasting the Day of `Arafah (f: 9th of Dhul Hijjah) expiates for two years, one prior and one forthcoming. And fasting the Day of `Ashura (f: 10th of Muharram) expiates for the past year. [Muslim, Abu Dawud, Nasai, and Ibn Majah] Make Dua (supplication) - What a beautiful thing it is to create a relationship with Allah through Dua and asking his help and invoking in him for whatever we want in this life and the next! Especially in these days we should increase the amount of Duas we do especially in the latter part of the nights when they are most listened to. "When My servants question thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me" (Quran 2:186), Aisha (ra) said: "No believer makes Dua and it is wasted. Either it is granted here in this world or deposited for him in the Hereafter as long as he does not get frustrated." In fact, it is even wrong to never make Dua, "Whosoever does not supplicate to Allah, He will be angry with Him." [Saheeh Jaami`as-Sagheer #2414]
Allah to perfect our characters and to help us improve ourselves in everyway possible.
and all that which it contains. (Reported by Muslim) Salaatul Ishraaq (Sunrise prayer-15-20 mins after sunrise) 2 or 2x2 Rakat of Nafil Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is reported to have said, 'He who performs Fajr Salat with Jamaat and remains seated in the same place while engaging in Dhikr until after sunrise and thereafter performs 2 Rakaats Nafil Salat, (Ishraaq), he will obtain the Thawaab of one Hajj and one Umrah.' (Tirmidhi). Duha Prayer (Salaatul Chasht-Breakfast prayer to be prayed before Zawaal(Midday) 'Salat al-Dhuhaa consists of 2 - 12 Rakaats and it is preferable to perform 8 Rakaats.' (Raddul Mukhtaar vol.1 pg.505) The Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) is reported to have said that: Whoever prayed twelve rakaats at the time of Chasht, then Allah will, as a reward, prepare a palace of gold for him in Paradise. [Mishkat, Tirmizi, Ibn Majah] 4 Rakah Sunnah before Fard of Zuhr, 2 Rakah Sunnah and 2 Rakah Nafil after Fard of Zuhr Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: Whoever sticks to the habit of offering four rak`ahs before Noon Prayer and four rak`ahs after it, Allah will shield him against the Hell-Fire. (Reported by Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi) 4 Rak'aah Sunnah of Asr Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said:"May Allaah have Mercy on the one who offers four (rak'ahs) before 'Asr prayer." (Abu Dawud) If anyone enters a mosque, he should offer two rak`ahs before sitting. Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) as saying: If any one of you enters a mosque, he should pray two rak`ahs before sitting. (Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim) 2 Rakat after doing Wudu (Ablution) Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said to Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him): Tell me about the best of your deeds (i.e. one which you deem the most rewarding) since your embracing Islam because I heard your footsteps in front of me in Paradise. Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: I do not consider any act of mine more rewarding than that whenever I make ablution at any time of night or day, I perform Prayer for as much as was destined for me to do. (Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim) The MOST REWARDING Superogatory Prayer of all is Tahajjud Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has said: In Paradise there is a castle reserved for those who read Tahajjud and the Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) further adds, those who pray at night will enter paradise without having to account for their acts in this life. It is recommended that you recite in your prayers as much of the Sacred Quran as you know. If you happen to know by heart the whole of the Sacred Quran you may, in at least 3 nights or most 4 nights of Tahajjud effectuate the complete reading of the Sacred Quran. Otherwise, you may recite 3 Surah Ikhlas (Qul Hu Allahu Ahad) after your "Alhamdu..." in every Rakat and you will thus derive full benefits of the full recital of the Sacred Quran in every Rakat. The dua's at the time of Tahajjud are very readily accepted by Almighty Allah and one should repent and ask of Allah and try to cry in their dua's at this time, if one cannot cry due to the hardness of ones heart due to sin then at least one should make the face as if one is crying. Just as a mother tends to her baby quickly and promptly when it cries the same way Allah attends to his servant quicker when they are crying.
heart. It also gives us a sense of taqwa (fear of allah), a consciousness that makes us realise that Allah Almighty is ever near and that we should always strive to please Him. "Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest." (13:28) Remembrance of Allah indeed is the greatest virtue. (29:46). Here are some beneficial Dhikr and glorification we can do throughout the last ten days and nights of this blessed month and throughout the year Inshallah: Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "Is anyone of you incapable of earning one thousand Hasanah (rewards) a day?" Someone from the gathering asked, "How can anyone of us earn a thousand Hasanah?" Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: "Glorify Allah a hundred times by just saying Subhanallah and a Good deeds will be written for you, or a thousand sins will be wiped away. (Muslim 4:2073) Hadhrat Abu Dharr [Ra] narrated that Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: Should I not tell you of one treasure of the unlimited treasures of Paradise? I replied spontaneously Oh Rasulallah (Saw) that would be an honour indeed! Rasulallah (Saw) said: That rare treasure is LA HAWLA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH. (The strength to do good and to refrain from evil comes from the grace and mercy of Allah!) - (Ibn Majah) Hadhrat Jaa'bir [Ra] narrated that Rasulallah [Saw] said: For the person who recites SUB-HAN'ALLAH HIL AZEEM WA BI-HAM'DIHI, [Pure and perfect is Allah in his glory and praise], - A date palm will be planted for him in Paradise (Tirmidhi) The Virtues of reading the First Kalimah: The word of purity or the kalima-etayyabah. L ilha ill-llh, Mu ammadur Raslu-llh (There is no god except Allah, Muhammad (Saw) is His Messenger) Hadrat Zaid bin Arqam (Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ( ) said: Whoever says La ilaaha illal-laahu sincerely will enter the Paradise. It was said: And what is the [sign of] sincerity? He said: That this kalimah stops him from those things which Allah has forbidden. (Tabaraani in Awsat-ul-Kabeer) The Virtues of reading the Third Kalimah: The word of glorification or the kalima-etamjeed Subhna-llhi, wa-l-hamdu li-llhi, wa l ilha ill-llhu, wa-llhu akbar. Wa l hawla wa l quwwata ill bi-llhi-l-aliyyi-l-azm Glory be to Allah. And praise be to Allah. And there is no god except Allah. And Allah is the Greatest. And there is no power and no strength except with Allah, the Most High, Most Great. Ibn Masood (Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: When I met Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) in the night of Miraaj he asked me to convey his Salaam to my Ummah and to tell them that the Paradise has a fertile soil and sweet water, and is like a vast field. And its plants are [the words above]. Another version says: Whoever recites the words above, a tree in Paradise is planted for him for each word he says. (Virtues of Dhikr; Tirmidhi) Virtues of reading the Fourth Kalimah: The word of Oneness of Allah or the kalima-etawhid: L ilha ill-llhu wa dahu l sharka lahu lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l- amdu yuhyi wa yumtu wa huwa ayyu-ll yamtu abadan abada, -l-jalli wa-l-ikrm, biyadihi-lkhayr, wa huwa al kulli Shay-in qadr. There is no god except Allah, Who is Alone and has no partners. For Him is the Dominion and for Him is all praise. He gives life and causes death. And He is Living and will never ever die. Owner of Majesty and Honor: In His Hands is all goodness. And He has power over all things. Abu Hurairah (Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: A person who recites: Laa ilaaha illal-laahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa alaa kulli shay-in qadeer, a hundred times daily will have reward equal to that of freeing ten slaves and one hundred good deeds will be written for him, and one hundred of his sins will be lifted from him, and for the whole day, he will remain immune from the Shaytaan until the evening, and
on the Day of Judgment, no one will exceed him in merit except one who has done [these phrases] more. (Bukhari,Book #75, Hadith #412)
Men should say these loudly and women should say them quietly. Allah says: (That they might witness things that are of benefit to them (i.e., reward of Hajj in the Hereafter, and also some worldly gain from trade, etc.), and mention the name of Allah on appointed days, over the beast of cattle that He has provided for them (for sacrifice)...) (Al-Hajj 22: 28)

Remembering Allah during the well known days Ibn 'Abbas says about the Aayah, "Remember Allaah during the well known days," that it refers to the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. [This is related by al-Bukhari] Allaah swears an oath by them, and swearing an oath by something is indicative of its importance and great benefit. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "By the dawn; by the 10 nights" [al-Fajr 89:1-2]. Ibn Abbaas, Ibn al-Zubayr, Mujaahid and others of the earlier and later generations said that this refers to the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. Ibn Katheer said: "This is the correct opinion."

Tonight is the beginning of the first 10 blessed nights of Dhul Hijjah of which the fast
of the 9 days are equal to a whole year and the worship of the nights is equal to the worship of Laylatul Qadr! -Rasulullah (Sallahu Alihe Wassalam) said: On no days is the worship of Allah desired more than in the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. The fast of each of these days is equal to the fast of a whole year, and the ibaadat (worship) of each of these nights is equal to the ibaadat of laylatul qadr. (Tirmizi and Ibn Maajah) Ibn `Abbas (ra) reported that the Prophet (Sallahu Alihe Wassalam) said: "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days." The people asked, "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah?" He said, "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah, except in the case of a man who went out, giving himself and his wealth up for the cause (of Allah), and came back with nothing." (Reported by Al-Bukhari) These hadith confirm that the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah possess tremendous blessings and excellence and we should all make the best of these blessed days that are left. These rewards should not be missed at any cost! Scholars have stressed that these special and blessed days and nights of the first ten days in particular should be spent doing intensive worship and virtuous acts as well as contemplation. Allaah swears an oath by them, and swearing an oath by something is indicative of its importance and great benefit. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "By the dawn; by the 10 nights" [al-Fajr 89:1-2]. Agreed by Ibn Abbaas, Ibn al-Zubayr, Mujaahid and others of the earlier and later generations aswell as Ibn Kathir On the day of judgement we will BEG for even one good deed so how can we miss this opportunity to gain IMMENSE rewards which are beyong comprehension? So let us worship Allah as much as we can tonight and in the next 10 nights and fast the 9 days to gain rewards of fasting a whole year! For every second is precious and ANY second could be our very last! If you want to make the best of these blessed 10 days then refer to this thread inshallah Please remember me in your dua's to. And Allah knows best in all matters __________________ Forty Very Easy, Quick & Rewarding Good Deeds for all of us to do Everyday! http://www.turntoislam.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61704 This could change your life FOREVER! http://www.turntoislam.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68877 Easy Dhikr which is light on the tongue but heavy on the scales! http://www.turntoislam.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65729 How we can get through hardships and trials in our lives http://www.turntoislam.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72778

> Q&A about Islaam in Russian < It was said to al-Hasan al-Basree (one of the Taabi'een): Would not any one of us feel ashamed before his Lord to seek forgiveness from his sin, then go back to it, then seek forgiveness then go back to it? He said: The Shaytaan would like you to feel that way; never give up seeking forgiveness.
