Transcripts
we are about to embark on the 10 most
important days of the year and unlike
Ramadan where you have so many Ramadan
prep webinars where you have so much
preparation in the month of shaan before
you go into Ramadan these 10 days
largely catch us by surprise and because
of the lack of events in the mass and so
many other things we don't do right by
them how to make the most of these 10
days inshallah tal and let's talk for a
moment about the virtues of the 10 days
the most famous reference to these days
is in Allah subhana swears by Al he
swears by the Dawn and then he swears by
these 10 nights Allah subhana wa tala
swears by particularly the day of
sacrifice the 10th of as well as Al
which is the odd day which is and Allah
subh SS by the last part of the night a
group of Scholars said once again that
the 10 of the
are superior to the 10 of Ramadan the
last 10 of Ramadan both their days and
their nights so what you can derive from
that of course is that this is a special
season that Allah subhanahu wa tala is
mentioning to us and the scholars talk
about the way that Allah situates it in
these verses that Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala is speaking about the Most
Blessed times of the day the Most
Blessed times of the year and the Most
Blessed times of the uh of of the nights
so that we can pay attention to these
lost opportunities the best time of the
day is the prophet
s teaches us in multiple narrations that
the best Sunnah is the the two before
they're better than the world and
everything in it the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam said just to pray those
two before and notice that there is a
virtue in starting off the day that well
and that it cast blessing on the
entirety of the day the
is the last month of the year and we go
into the first month of muharam and it
casts the goodness of everything that
you could have gained of that year to
the next
year and Allah subhana mentions the best
time of those 10 days which is uh the
10th of being the day of the sacrifice
and then of course Al the best day of
the 10 days the best day of the year
which is the day of Allah subh swears by
and then Allah subhana swears by the
night as it is departing if a person
misses the entire night in prayer if
they're not able to wake up except for a
few moments if they are not able to
remember Allah subhana wa tala except
for a few moments let it be in those
precious minutes before F that is the
time where those who prayed all night or
those who prayed for a significant
portion of the night seek forgiveness
from Allah subhah wa tala for any
shortcomings that they had in their
prayer and that is the time of the night
where those who wake up seek forgiveness
from Allah subhanahu wa tala for for not
praying for a longer portion but that is
the most blessed time of the night and
so Allah subhana T swears by these times
when it comes to these 10 days these 10
days are the best 10 days of the year
yet still people do not take full
advantage of these 10 years of these 10
days so it is the 10 days of according
to the majority of Scholars as we said
and it is of course that Allah subhana T
has made it so that is the best day and
then after the 10th day which is the day
of the day of the sacrifice is the
second best day of these 10 days of now
let's get to the best Good Deeds insh
the most famous Hadith in this regard is
theith
ofd that the prophet sallam said that
there are no days in which Good Deeds
are more beloved to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala
than these 10 days they said oh
messenger of Allah not
even and you know think about the
context these are people who you know
are sitting with the prophet s alaihi
wasallam and every single one of them
has some wound from a battle that they
served alongside the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam or they've lost people
that they love so everyone sitting with
the prophet s wasall when he says this
is a veteran of or a veteran of or has
at least you know stroven the the
prophet
says except for the prophet Salli wasall
said not
even except for a person who goes out
with their self and with their wealth
and does not return from that with
anything now the short version of this
or to understand this is that the answer
of the Prophet wasallam is saying not
even surpasses the Deeds that are done
in these 10 days so these Deeds are
better than the other deeds and
everything within them these Deeds are
more beloved to to Allah subhana waala
than any other Deeds
now he points to something that's very
powerful here that all of the Good Deeds
are combined in these 10 days and that
is not the case for any other 10 days of
the year meaning what the five pillars
of Islam all of them are emphasized in
these 10 days and you cannot say that
about any other 10 days of the year what
is it muham
the best Vic the best form of
remembrance on the day of which we'll
talk about in some
detail right so the the Salah is
emphasized in this time of course as
well we find that fasting is emphasized
in this time as well we find that
charity is emphasized in this time as
well and of course it is the only time
where Haj is legislated right there are
no uh other times of the year where you
can do Hajj this is the only only time
that you could do Hajj and of course it
was in these 10 days that Allah subh
perfected our religion for us right and
completed his favor upon us it was
Within These 10 days so then comes the
question which Good Deeds should we do
and notice that the prophet sallallah
alaihi wasallam left the Hadith very
general for us in Ramadan you
immediately know okay I need to do you
know or or try to attempt a of Quran or
some sort of recitation recital of a
large portion of the Quran and some
reflection upon the Quran so Ramadan has
a lot more structure to it but the good
deeds here are left General and as we
said most people because of the lack of
the ceremonious type of feeling around
the 10 days of the will neglect these
days right the prophet s wasallam left
them General and that is where the say
the mercy of Allah subh is in that it is
left General in this regard okay any
good deeds any good Deeds that you can
do diversify your good deeds Within
These 10 days number one don't lose your
obligations okay first and foremost The
Good Deeds include your obligations your
don't miss F in those days if you can
pray F every single day of those 10 days
then do so if you can do uh you know the
remembrance of Allah subhana after
until in those 10 days do so don't miss
in in the in these 10 days in particular
so the obligations that are to be
undertaken in these 10 days are greater
than the obligations that are undertaken
throughout the year it's a time to
increase in your Noah a time to increase
in your good deeds in general your
voluntary good deeds and really you know
the first advice that I want to give
here is capture your Ramadan goals again
this is the best time to make Toba to
Allah subhana tal the best time to
repent to Allah the best time to say you
know what that obligation that I
struggled with that I was going to start
doing in Ramadan and I was not able to
do so I got weak let me try to do it
again in and let me try to make it
permanent this time this is the time if
your Quran has collected dust since or
or your Quran app has not been reopened
since Ramadan this is the time to say
you know what let me get back to my
recitation of the Quran so use to
recapture Ramadan what are some other
things that we take from the Salah in
this regard from the P predecessors in
this regard disconnect so that you can
connect to Allah subhana wa tala then we
go into the next fast fting not just
fasting the day of but fasting some of
the first n days other than so you have
the first to the eth obviously you can't
fast on the day of fasting some of those
days as well so think about you know
what are three or four days that I can
take or even two days other than that I
will fast in these first 10 of and
Implement that if you can of course you
know the fasting of the day of and in
particular equal 3 years of fasting
because the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam he taught us that when a person
fasts the day of then it equals a year
of fasting before and a year after and
when a person fasts the day
of then it is in regards to present year
so it spends 3 years of fasting within
those two days and for those sisters in
particular or brothers that might be ill
that cannot fast that day for any reason
whatsoever
wasam said whoever misses a good deed
that they would have normally done due
to a illness or due to some sort of
travel which of course means anything
that is out of their hands Allah subhana
T will write it down for them as if they
performed it in full so if you can't
fast that day and you would have fasted
that day then take comfort in knowing
that Allah subh has written down that
day for you and instead use the day in
Dua and use the day and still doing the
other forms of honoring that day now as
for the forms of VI in one narration
which is also the prophet s wasallam
said there are no days in which Good
Deeds are greater or more beloved to
Allah subhana wa tala from these 10 days
of so the prophet Salli wasallam says so
increase Within These 10 days of and or
and
saying alhamdulillah and Subhan Allah
now the prophet Salli wasallam here is
stressing quantity of course of course
quality is important but the prophet
Salli wasallam here is stressing
quantity in the sense of keep yourself
engaged with these forms of and the that
are familiar to us these are days of
these are days of these are days of
these are days of praising Allah subhana
T not just the day of but throughout the
first 10 days the sah would prompt one
another and remind one another reminding
people inshallah hey let's let's do this
inshallah T let's prompt one another to
remember Allah subhah tala
subh keep on doing
so now when we get to the day of in
particular is is the core of and is the
core of so is the best day of ha it is
the most fundamental and most important
pillar of the ha and it is the most
important day of the days of Allah
subhana gives us eight days to prepare
ourselves for that day and just like the
go out to Min to rest even their camels
to rest everything for that momentous
day OFA the eight days prior are to get
our souls ready rested rejuvenated for
that day of and the prophet Sall alaihi
wasallam says to us that there is no day
in which Allah subhana T sets free more
souls from the fire than on the day of
on that day Allah subhana wa taala draws
near to the Earth and way that befits
him and he exhibits his his benevolence
and he remarks to the angels He boasts
to the angels what is it that these
Servants of Mind desire when they're
coming out to make Dua to Allah
subhanahu wa taala in this regard the
people are calling upon Allah subhana in
different languages all in one Valley
and of course around the world as well
and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala caused the
angels to Bear witness that he has
forgiven them may Allah make us all
amongst those that are forgiven Subhan
Allah the benefits of the and the DU at
are for the whole um they're for the
whole um Allah forgives everyone as a
result of that and the Baraka of those
du reaches the entire um and so this is
a time for us to remember our brothers
and sisters in festine to remember our
brothers and sisters in suria and Yemen
to remember our brothers and sisters
from the oor and from the rohinga to
remember our brothers and sisters in
Ethiopia to remember our brothers and
sisters that are struggling all around
the world the this is the time for us to
remember them insh in our duas as we
always should remember them but the
benefits of this day reach everyone so
this is a day of Dua what is it to be
found within that Dua well first and
foremost a Toba renew your Covenant with
Allah subhana wa tala the day of is a
day of covenants okay it's the day of
the initial Covenant with Allah subhana
wa tala so renew your Covenant with
Allah subhana wa tala and that's why the
prophet Salli wasallam said it's the
worst day of the year for Shan Shan has
on his calendar marked the day of it is
the most humiliating day of the year for
him the worst day he tries to take you
away from Allah and on that one day
Allah subh draws you near and all of the
effects of Shan all of the sins that he
stains you with it is gone on that day
in particular so it is the worst day of
the year for shaan which means it's the
best day of the year for the Believers
as they cling close to Allah subhanahu
wa taala all of the virtues of the last
10 nights of Ramadan specifically and
Ramadan in general are found in this one
day in which is pretty incredible what
do we mean by that well first and
foremost it's a day of fasting right for
those that are not in it's a day of
fasting so just like the month of
Ramadan is a month of fasting is a day
of fasting secondly it's a day of Dua
the prophet S taught us to spend the
entirety of the day and calling upon
Allah subhana wa tala until the sun sets
until m every moment is precious on that
day of the third thing is that the prize
of Ramadan is what
Allah oh Allah you pardon you love to
forgive and pardon so forgive and pardon
us and that is to be freed from the fire
and there is no day of the year where
Allah frees more people from the fire
than that day so the prize of Ramadan is
embedded within that one day as well so
what is the best Dua of
the prophet s wasallam made Dua on the
day of all the way from to without pause
he prayed shortened and combined and the
prophet s wasall made Dua all the way
from to the time of and we don't have
anything of his Dua except for one the
best Dua one narration the prophet wasam
said just in another narration the more
famous One the prophet s wasallam said
the best of what I and the prophets have
said on this
day none has the right to be worshiped
Allah he alone who has no Partners to
him belongs the Dominion of the heavens
and the
Earth and all praise and he has power
over all things there's an authentic
narration where the Prophet Sall wasam
said whoever says this Dua on a normal
day 100 times 100
times whoever says this 100 times in one
day the prophet sallai wasam said the
reward of that is it's as if he freed 10
slaves as if and 100 good deeds will be
written for him and 100 bad deeds will
be wiped out from his accounts and on
that day he will be protected from the
morning until the evening from the Shan
and no one will be superior to that
person except for one who increased in
that which he has done meaning one who
even did more than 100 this is on a
normal day to
say the prophet s said the reward of
freeing one person from slavery is that
Allah subhana would free every part of
your body from the fire what then of the
reward of freeing 10 people from slavery
the prophet sallam mentions The Good
Deeds being written for you the sins
being wiped out and you being protected
from the Shan and no one is superior to
you except for one who did more than you
so here's a very basic prescription for
the day of if this is on a normal day to
say this 100 times then on the day of
make sure you say this Dua at least 100
times and the Bara only Allah knows how
much Mercy how much blessing will be
written for you as a result if that's
the best thing that you can say on the
day OFA then make sure that you say it
at least 100
times on that day may Allah subhana wa
tala allow us to attain that reward and
so much more beyond what we can
comprehend
