The first ten days of this month are full of significance and merit. According to some commentators of the Holy Qur’an, these ten days have been mentioned in Sura al-Fajr when Allah swears by the ten nights: وَ الْفَجْرِ وَ لَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ   I swear by the daybreak, and by the ten nights (89:1-2)

The Holy Prophet(S) has said: There are no days when Allah is as pleased with good deeds as He is in these ten days [of Zilhajj].

1)   Keep fast on the first 9 days (not on the 10th)

2)  In the nights of the first 10 days, between the Maghrib and Ishaa salaats pray a 2 Rakaat Salaat as under:

In every Rakaat, after the recitation of Surah Al Fateha, recite Surah Al Ikhlaas and the following verse.

"WA WAA—A’DNAA MOOSAA THALAATHEENA LAYLATAN’W WA ATMAMNAAHAA BI—A’SHRIN FATAMMA MEEQAATU RABBIHEE ARBA—E’ENA LAYLAH WA QAALA MOOSAA LI—AKHEEHI HAAROONAKH—LUFNEE FEE QAWMEE WA AS’LIH’WA LA TATTABIA’—SABEELAL MUFSIDEE" (Sura al-A’araaf 7:142)

Translation:-

[And when We did appoint for Musa thirty nights, and added to them ten; and he completed the whole time appointed by his Lord of forty nights; and Musa said unto his brother: "Take my place among the people. Do right, and do not follow the way of the mischief-makers".] (Sura al-A`araaf, 7:142)
