Dhulhijja

This is one of the four sacred months, the others being Dhulqa'da, Muharram and Rajab. The first 10 nights are highly blessed. It is also one of the 3 months known as Ash hural Hajj (months of Hajj). In this month supplications made for fulfilment of crucial and very necessary needs are heard and accepted.

A'maal for the month of DhulHijja

• Fast on the first 9 days (not on the 10th as it is the day of Eid)
• In the night of the first 10 days, between Maghrib and Eisha salaa recite a 2 rakaat salaa as under:

In every rakaat, after Suratul Fatiha recite Suratul Ikhlas and the following verse (Suratul A'raaf: 142):

Wa waa 'adna Musa thalaatheena laylataw wa atmamnaahaa bi'ashrin fatamma meeqaatu Rabbihi arba'eena laylatan, wa qaala Musa liakhihi Haarunakh lufni fi qawmi qa aslah walaa sabeelal mufsideen.

And when We did appoint for Musa thirty nights, and added to them ten, and he completed the whole time appointed by his Rabb 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."

Jibrail brought 5 Dua's to Prophet Isa (A.S.) from Allah (SWT). They have been highly recommended by Rasulullah (S.A.W.) to be recited every day for the first 10 days of Dhulhijja.
