Beginning of the month of Dhul-Hijjah 1446 H/2025

The sighting of the moon of the month of Dhul-Hijjah was announced on Tuesday the 27th of May 2025. Accordingly, today Wednesday the 28th of May is the first day of Dhul-Hijjah. The day of Arafat will be on Thursday the 5th of June 2025 and Eid Al-Adha will be on Friday the 6th of June 2025.

Rasulullah, salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam, said about these days: "There are no days in which good action is more beloved to Allah than these days - meaning the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah …’’

As for the good actions that are recommended during the first ten days, these include: fasting on the first 9 days of Dhul-Hijjah especially on the day of Arafat., nafl voluntary prayers, dhikr remembrance of Allah, Subhanahu wa ta’ala, reading the Qur’an, making a lot of takbeer, tahleel, and tahmeed. Rasulullah, Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam, said about fasting on the Day of Arafat: “Fasting on the day of Arafat, I anticipate that it will wipe out the sins of the year after it and the year before it.” Slaughtering the Qurbani and the Eid prayer are also good deeds on these days.

Among the good actions to do these days is Sadaqah and spending for Sabeelil-lah (the sake of Allah). So, why not take the opportunity to give during these days?
