The Ten Nights

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

Sohbah on 29th June 2022 by Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil Ar Rabbaniق

وَالْفَجْرِ ﴿01﴾ وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ

(Qur’ān 89:01-02)

‘Wa l-Fajr (01) Wa Layālin ‘Ashr’

‘By the dawn (01) And [by] ten nights.’ Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm.

Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla makes an Oath in this Surah, specially for these ten nights.

From the 1st of Dhu l-Hijjah until the 10th of Dhu l-Hijjah. He ﷻ is praising these days and making an Oath on these very holy ten nights. These blessed days begin tonight, until the first day of Eid ul Adha.

AlhamduliLlah, Allah ﷻ made every time as a reason to give us more from His ﷻ Favours; for us to get more rewards and to get more blessings. Some ‘Ulama/scholars say that these days are better than Ramadan because in Ramadan we don’t know which [night] is Laylatu l-Qadr, but for these nights, it is clearly known. And Allah ﷻ made it known to people in order for them to get multiple folds of rewards and blessings from these days.

Everything related to Hajj is very holy and special. It is once a year and there are many things to do in these days for Hajjis and for non-Hajjis. For this, we should do as much as we can from charity, Sadaqah, praying and Salawat. From what we can do, we should perform it more than other days, insha’Allah. There are too many things that the Prophet ﷺ was doing. We see here and there that they are saying to do these things. Maybe you cannot do all of them; but as much as we can do, we should at least do it more than normal days.

Insha’Allah may Allah ﷻ make it Mubarak, blessed for the Ummah and for all human beings also; for them to get rewards from Allah ﷻ, and to be safe from bad intentions and from shaytan and his followers insha’Allah. Insha’Allah Mubarak.

Wa l-hamdu li-Llahi Rabbi l-‘Alamin.

Al-Fatiha.
