The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are greater than all other days. The virtue of the actions performed during these ten days cannot be compared to other days.
Tonight's Dhikr is very beloved to Allah ta'ala and we are blessed to be able to take part in the Dhikr Gathering. We should be very cautious of how we spend these blessed days. We should close the doors of our weaknesses. During these days , no action should be committed through which the displeasure of Allah ta'ala is earned.
Allah ta'ala grants us these blessed days as opportunities to make up for our deficiencies.
First and foremost, we must seek sincere repentance from Allah ta'ala during these ten days. We must intend to change our lifestyle and make a new start. Allah ta'ala is granting us an opportunity to pull ourselves together and it is our repentance which causes us to receive the blessings of these ten days and have our sins erased.
Hadhrat Aishah رضي الله عنها narrates that there was a person who was sinful and used to listen to music. As soon as the moon of Dhul Hijjah was sighted, he would immediately repent and abandon his bad habits. He respected and honoured these days completely. Nabi ﷺ requested to see this man. He asked him about his action. The man replied, "Oh Prophet of Allah, I have no knowledge, but I heard from you that these ten days are very beloved to Allah ta'ala so I was so ashamed and I resolved to make Allah ta'ala happy at least during these ten days. As a result, I began fasting, worshipping and engaging in Dhikr."
Similarly, we should control ourselves during these blessed days. We should forgive others and avoid oppressing anyone. We should also try to improve our deeds and aim to perform prayers in congregation.
All worship performed during these blessed days are virtuous, however, Nabi ﷺ recommended and preferred us to perform Dhikr. Thus, we should aim to attend all Dhikr gatherings during these ten days at least! We should also be regular in the Dhikr our Sheikh has prescribed for us.
We should give Sadaqah every day during these days, even if it is 10p. This will be the most beloved charity for you. This charity will eliminate your problems and sicknesses. Your donations will not go to waste. Rather, they will return to you multiplied.
We should not harbour malice, jealousy and enmity in our hearts. We should cleanse our hearts and have good conduct with everyone.
We should avoid things we dislike without fighting and quarrelling out of good manners and love for others.
In such a manner, all the mistakes a person has committed in his life, will become compensated for.
May Allah ta'ala grant us the ability and strength to make the most of these blessed days. Ameen
