The best 10 days is here!! (1 - 10/12/1440 AH ~ 2 - 11/8/2019)

The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah which occassions the day of 'Arafa and Eid is few hours away. Pilgrims from all walks of life are prepared to earn Allah's mercy and forgiveness as they visit ka'abah to perform their hajj rights.
As Muslims, we need to be conversant with the days, times and places that enhances the multiplication of the rewards of our actions. Not that the little we do wouldn't be accepted by Allah, but because we need to do more to earn more.
Few months ago, the Last ten Nights of Ramadan witnessed billions of muslims intensify in their ibadah, du'a and all forms of highly rewarding acts because they all seek the pleasure of Allah through the Night of Majesty (Laylatul Qadr).
Ramadan has gone and we fasted for six days in shawwal and the sacred month of Dhul Qa'adah is rolling by, behold the 10 days of blessings, mercies, forgiveness and acceptance of prayers.
In the hadith of Abdullah ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with Him) Prophet Muhammad  (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) , said: “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these 10 days.” The people (the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them) asked: “O Messenger of Allah, not even Jihad in the path of Allah?” He, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, said: “Not even Jihad in the path of Allah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing (lost both his property and life).” [Al-Bukhari].
My brother and Sister in faith, now is the time for you to increase your acts of worship so as to earn the pleasure of Allah. Wake up in the Night for Tahajjud, Recite the Quran always, moist your tongue with rememberance of Allah, be generous to the poor and needy, visit the sick and Family relations, etc.

Let your motivation be:
"And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty” [Qur’an 15:99]

May Allah be pleased with us and accept our acts of worship.
