As these first ten days of Dhu'l-Hijjah pass by faster than we'd like, emerge yourself in carrying these duas leading up to and on the day of Arafah (falling on Tuesday, May 26 insha'Allah)
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “No days are better to Allah than the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.” A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, are they better or time spent waging jihad in the way of Allah?” The Prophet said, “They are better than time spent waging jihad in the way of Allah. No day is better to Allah than the day of Arafat. Allah descends to the lowest heaven and He boasts to the inhabitants of the heavens about the inhabitants of the earth, saying: Look at My servants, appearing disheveled and dusty! They came from every mountain pass hoping for My mercy. They do not see My punishment, yet they do not see that on no day are more saved from Hellfire than the day of Arafat.” [Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān 3853 - Hadith Sahih]
Whether it's takbir, tahleel, sayyid al-istighfar (the master of forgiveness), prophetic duas, or seeking protection through Him, may Allah SWT make our efforts a reason for our accepted duas and entrance into jannah, ameen!
