Seeking Forgiveness During The First 10 Days Of Dhul Hijjah
Narrated by Ibn ʿAbbās (رضي الله عنهما):
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.”
The people asked, “Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah?” He said:
“Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah, unless a man goes out with his life and wealth and does not return with any of that.”
حضرت ابن عباس (رضی اللہ عنہما) سے روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا
“اللہ تعالیٰ کو ان دس دنوں میں نیک اعمال جتنے محبوب ہیں، کسی اور دنوں میں نہیں۔”
صحابہ نے عرض کیا: “یا رسول اللہ! کیا اللہ کے راستے میں جہاد بھی نہیں؟” آپ ﷺ نے فرمایا:
“اللہ کے راستے میں جہاد بھی نہیں، سوائے اس شخص کے جو اپنی جان اور مال کے ساتھ نکلے اور کچھ بھی واپس نہ لائے۔”
Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 969
It is a time to seek forgiveness for our sins, repent sincerely, and make a firm commitment to change for the better. The initial ten days of Dhul Hijjah are a period of self-observation and repentance. Muslims are encouraged to reflect on their actions, seek forgiveness for their past sins, and resolve to make positive changes in their lives. It is a time to purify the heart, seek reconciliation with others, and strive for personal growth in Ibadah and Emaan.
