Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah.
My dear brothers and sisters and elders,
we are in the middle of the best days of the year that Allah has blessed us with.
We thank Allah for giving us life, for guiding us to Islam and for allowing us
to witness another sacred month, the month of Dhul Hijjah,
particularly the first ten days, which are the most virtuous days in the calendar.
These days are a divine gift from Allah for our spiritual growth,
for our to earn hasanat through acts of worship and the opportunity to earn immense reward.
Allah mentioned these days and He said,
By the dawn and by the ten nights.
When Allah
takes an oath by something, it is an indication of its great significance and status.
The Mufassireen are agreed upon that and including Ibn Kathir and others,
that when Allah said,
Layali Nashab, the ten nights, it also refers to the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah.
That these ten nights,
Walfajri wa Layali Nashab refers to the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah.
Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la mentioned night,
but it also includes the day of Dhul Hijjah.
And we have the supporting dhalil of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la mentioning with respect to Zakariya,
when he said,
You will not speak for three days in one place and three nights for another place.
So it means that the days and the nights, it means the same thing.
Rasulullah , whose words are the truth, further emphasized the importance of these days
in several authentic hadiths in Sayyid Bukhari, which are the words of the Prophet .
Rasulullah is reported to have said,
there are no days in which righteous deeds, good deeds,
are more beloved to Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la than these days.
They asked him, not even jihad in the path of Allah.
He said, not even jihad,
except for a man who goes out with his life and wealth and does not return, returns with nothing.
Rasulullah is telling us that,
acts of worship during Dhul Hijjah are not accepted by Allah.
The Prophet is reported that the day of judgement is not even jihad in all the paths of Allah.
They said, there are less days in which righteous deeds are not accepted by Allah than these days.
The Sahaba, Ridhu Allah, Alayhim Ulay, Wain, Wain. They asked him, not even jihad in the path of Allah.
worship during these 10 days such as salah fasting charity zikr recitation of quran and so on
and more beloved to him than doing the same deeds in any other days that is why rasul
sallallahu used to fast all the first nine days of the hijjah and especially the day of gharafat which
obviously if you to the fire if you fast the nine days the ninth day is the day of gharafa
and he said that fasting on the day of gharafa expiates and wipes out the sins of the past year
and the coming year and this is a muslim the day of gharafa or yawal is the name for the ninth of
the hijjah just as yamun nahar is the name given to the day of which is the 10th we have been
instructed to celebrate it and to fast on it wherever and whenever it occurs in our country

I remind myself and you that we must become greedy about accumulating good deeds.
Just think of how greedy we are with accumulating wealth.
We do not miss any opportunity.
We don't care how painful it may be and how hard we may need to work
or what other activity or interest we may need to give up.
And may Allah help us, we don't even worry about whether it is halal or haram.
But we must get wealth, anyhow.
If there is an opportunity to make money,
