Out of the sum of twelve, there are four main sacred months in Islam, Zul Qa’dah, Zul Hajj, Muharram and Rajab. As per Islamic beliefs the reward for any good deed done in this month is multiplied and so does the punishment for sins.
- Muslims should indulge themselves in ibadah, especially during the first 10 days of Zul Hajj as it helps in attaining great rewards from Allah.
The importance of Zul Hajj in Islam can be signified by these words of the prophet of Allah, Muhammad (PBUH): “There is no virtuous deed carried out in any day of the year that can be equal to the reward of (that virtuous deed) carried out in these ten days of Zul Hijjah”. The Sahabah asked, “Not even Jihaad?” Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied, “Not even Jihaad, except for the one who endangers his life and wealth (in Jihad) and does not return with anything.”
This means that the Jihad conducted in the first 10 days of Zul Hajj is considered to be more virtuous than Jihad carried out at any other time of the year, apart from for that Jihadi who attains martyrdom.
- Great rewards are reserved for the ones who fast during the first 10 days of Zul Hajj (excluding the 10th). The significance of fasting on the day of Arafat (9th Zul Hajj) can better be understood by the following hadith:
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Fasting the Day of ‘Arafah (ninth Zul-Hajj) is an expiation for (all the sins of) the previous year and expiation for (all the sins of) the coming year.” – Muslim
