An overview of the first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah is provided below.
The Hajj pilgrimage
The hajj pilgrimage is the most important event that takes place during the first ten days of Dhu-al-Hijjah. Every year, around four million pilgrims travel to Makkah to perform the Hajj, starting on the eighth of Dhu-al-Hijjah. One of the best deeds carried out during this holy month is this one.
Eid-al-Adha
Muslims worldwide observe Eid-al-Adha on the tenth of Dhul Hijjah. Muslims sacrifice animals on this Eid in honour of Hazrat Ibrahim's wonderful sunnah (AS). Around the world, hundreds of thousands of cows, camels, lambs, and goats are slaughtered, and their meat is divided in three equal portions: for family members, for the needy, and for oneself.
One of our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad's greatest Sunnahs is to attend the Eid prayers (SAWW). We should never forget to meet and include all of our Muslim brothers and sisters who may not be as lucky to have enough to enjoy this great occasion since Eid is a time of joy and happiness for everyone.
Nahar
Animal sacrifice is also performed by Hajj pilgrims as part of the Nahar ceremony. Their Hajj would not be complete otherwise.
Fasting
Fasting on the nine days of Dhul Hijjah is very beneficial, especially on the Day of Arafah. Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) reported that fasting on the Day of Arafah, or the ninth of Dhul-Hijjah, is an atonement for all of the sins committed in the previous year as well as for all of the sins committed in the upcoming year.
Dhikr
Whether or not they are performing the hajj, Muslims are instructed to recite as much Dhikr as they can during the first ten days of Dhu-al-Hijjah. There are no days on which good acts are larger or more beloved to Allah than on these ten days of Dhul Hijjah, according to a hadith related by the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW). Therefore, during this time, recite Tahleel, Takbeer, and
Tahmeed frequently
Additionally, it is advised for believers to recite the Holy Quran, participate in Tahajjud (night prayers), and carry out charitable deeds.
