Praise be to Allaah Who has created Time and has made some times better than others, some months and days and nights better than others, when rewards are multiplied many times, as a mercy towards His slaves. This encourages them to do more righteous deeds and makes them more eager to worship Him, so that the Muslim renews his efforts to gain a greater share of reward, prepare himself for death and supply himself in readiness for the Day of Judgement.
Among the special seasons of worship are the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah, which Allaah has preferred over all the other days of the year.

Some suggestions to make the best of the ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah :

►Increase your level of worship during the day and during the night.
►Try to achieve one khatam of the Qur’an (reading it from cover to cover).
►Keep your tongue moist with dhikr and praise of Allah wherever you are.
►Maintain a state of ṭaharah and wuḍu’ at all times.
►Make most of your dhikr Takbir (like the one you recite on ‘Ied day).
►Fast a few days while the days are short and cold, particularly the 9th, the day of ‘Arafah.
►If you haven’t paid for the qurban (sacrificial animal) yet, make sure to do so. Perhaps you should donate one to those who are most in need of it in areas such as Gaza, Syria, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Somalia, and all the Muslim countries.
►Wake up before Fajr time and pray Qiyam-ul-Layl.
Pray your Fardh salat on time.
►Make sure you don’t miss any of the Nafl and Sunnah prayers.
►Give charity and help those who are less fortunate prepare for the Eid day.
►Share the spirit of the season and be cheerful with all people.
