Maximize Dhikr In The First 10 Days Of Dhul Hijjah
During the ten days of Dhul Hijjah, it is recommended to recite more Dhikr, especially Takbeer frequently. This serves as a reminder of the greatness of Allah and our gratitude to Him.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “There are no days that are greater before Allah or in which good deeds are more beloved to Him than these ten days (of Dhul Hijjah), so increase reciting Tahleel, Takbeer, and Tahmeed during then.”
Reference ; [Musnad Ahmad]
Another narration of the hadith of Musnad Ahmad says to recite Tasbeeh, Tahmeed, and Tahleel.
Tahleel: Saying La ilaha illallah (There is no deity but Allah)
Takbeer: Saying Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)
Tahmeed: Saying Alhamdulillah (All praise is due to Allah)
Tasbeeh: Saying SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah)
It’s Wajib (mandatory) to say Takbeer after each Fard prayer from the 9th Dhul Hijjah Fajr prayer to the 13th Dhul Hijjah Asar prayer. These 5 days are called Ayyam e Tashreek when men should recite the above-mentioned Takbeer aloud and women silently.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahil Hamd
Meaning: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, there is no God except Allah, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, and all praise belongs to Allah)
This Takbeer is recited after each obligatory prayer during the specified days, serving as a reminder of Allah’s greatness and a means to earn His blessings.
