1. Righteous deeds during the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah are far better and more rewarding than righteous deeds done on other days of the year, because they are Hajj days in the sacred season of pilgrimage. Because of their excellence and importance, Allah (عَزَّ وَجَلَّ) swore by them, thus: “By the Dawn; by the ten Nights…” (89:1-2)
Allah commands the believers to hasten towards His forgiveness and His Paradise, as vast as the heavens and the earth, which Allah has prepared for the pious who fear Him, for they are its people and acts of piety are what brings one to it.
May Allah forgive us, guide us, have mercy on us & grant us Al-Jannah Firdaus.

Read MoreShaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah [رحمه الله] said: The reason why it is obligatory to love the Prophet (ﷺ) and venerate him more than any other person is that we cannot attain the greatest good in this world or in the Hereafter except at the hands of the Prophet (ﷺ), by believing in him and following him. That is because no one can be saved from the punishment of Allaah, and the mercy of Allaah cannot reach him except by means of the Prophet, by believing in him, loving him, being loyal to him and following him. This is the means by which Allaah will save him from punishment in this world and in the Hereafter. This is the means by which he will attain what is good in this world and in the Hereafter. The greatest blessing is the blessing of faith, which can only be attained through him, and which is more beneficial than his own self and his wealth. He is the one by means of whom Allaah brings people forth from darkness into light, and there is no other way to Allaah. As for a person’s self and family, they will not avail him anything before Allaah… – Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 27/246.
