Qurbani A Profound Obligation
O those who love Allah’s Messenger! Let’s take this all in and think about what we have just heard. The first ten days of Dhū al-Ḥijjah harbour immense excellence. Within them, the reward of just one good deed is multiplied by seven hundred. The best of all good deeds are those performed in this time. Fasting for one day is equivalent to fasting for a year. Standing in its nights, which refers to staying awake and performing acts of worship, is equivalent to doing so on Laylat al-Qadr.
Also bear in mind no one deed in particular was specified here. The reward earned for every single act of worship and good deed, is increased in these ten days.
Farḍ salah, nafl acts of worship, keeping nafl fasts, calling others to righteousness, giving charity, making dhikr of Allah, visiting and looking after one’s parents, reciting the Quran; whatever good deed it is, if they are performed in the first ten days of Dhū al-Ḥijjah, they hold greater excellence and earn more reward compared to any other day or time. These deeds are more beloved to Allah, and their reward is multiplied by seven hundred.
سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه O those who love Allah’s Messenger! These ten days are like a beautiful springtime, full of opportunities for good deeds. We should value these days by performing as many good actions as possible, offering salah, engaging in nafl worship, reciting the Quran, and making dhikr of Allah. In fact, we should even stay awake and worship Allah during the nights of these ten days, as this is a greatly loved action.
