by Asma bint Shameem Alhamdulillaah the BEST days of the ENTIRE year are beginning from tomorrow.
ANY good deed you’ll do in these next few days will be counted as the BEST deeds of the ENTIRE year.
🍃The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam said:
"There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allaah than these ten days."
The people asked:
"Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah?"
He said:
"Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing."
(al-Bukhaari)
Subhaan Allaah!
What a beautiful opportunity to earn good deeds and multiply their rewards.
PART of the good deeds that we can do in these glorious and virtuous days is to MAGNIFY Allaah during the day and night and say the ”Takbeeraat”.
Saying the takbeeraat during the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah and the next four days of Eid al-Adhaa, is one of the greatest ways to worship Allaah and thank Him.
It is also one of the greatest Sunnahs for these magnificent days.
And it’s Allaah’s Order.
🍃Allaah says:
“and MENTION the Name of Allaah on APPOINTED days”
[al-Hajj 22:28]
🍃And Allaah says:
“And REMEMBER Allaah during the APPOINTED Days” [al-Baqarah 2:203]
These “APPOINTED” days are the days of Dhul Hijjah from the 1st till the 13th.
How can we thank you, Yaa Allaah, for the blessings You bestowed upon us of these beautiful days of worship and good deeds...!
of Islaam...!
And of Imaan...!
How can we show you that it is You Alone that we worship? And that we are grateful to You for all that you bestowed upon us EXCEPT by Glorifying You, Yaa Rabb, and Exalting Your Mention?
All Praise is for You, Yaa Kareem, Yaa Rabb al-Aalameen, for giving us this chance to worship You and ask for Your forgiveness and have our sins forgiven!
🍃“Ibn ‘Umar and Abu Hurayrah radhi Allaahu anhumaa used to go out to the market-place on first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah, reciting Takbeer, and the people used to recite Takbeer because of their Takbeer.” (al-Bukhaari)
🔺What to say?
"الله أكبر الله أكبر الله أكبر، لا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر الله أكبر، ولله الحمد"
“Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, there is no god except Allaah, Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, and all praise be to Allaah”
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلَا نَعْبُدُ إلَّا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ له الدَّيْنَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ صَدَقَ وَعْدَهُ وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ لَا إلَهَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَاَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ
“Allaah is most Great, much praise be to Allaah and glory be to Allaah at the beginning and end of the day. Allaah is most Great and we worship none but Allaah, and we make our worship purely for Him (alone) however much the disbelievers may hate that.
There is no god but Allaah alone; He fulfilled His promise and granted victory to His slave and defeated the Confederates alone.
There is no God but Allaah and Allaah is most Great.”
Allaahu Akbar!❤️
🔺When to start the Takbeeraat?
The takbeeraat of Eid al-Adhaa begin at sunset when the moon of Dhul Hijjah is sighted and last until the sun sets on the 13th of Dhul Hijjah.
That means we should START saying the Takbeeraat from TONIGHT at sunset.
🍃 Allaah says:
“That they may witness things that are of benefit to them (i.e. reward of Hajj in the Hereafter, and also some worldly gain from trade), and mention the Name of Allaah on appointed days”
[al-Hajj 22:28]
These are the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah.
🍃And Allaah says:
“And remember Allaah during the appointed Days [These are the three days of staying at Mina during the Hajj; 11th, 12th and 13th days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah]” [al-Baqarah 2:203]
These are the days of Tashreeq (11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah).
🍃 And the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam said:
“The days of Tashreeq are the days of eating, drinking and REMEMBERING Allaah.”
(Muslim)
🍃Shaikh Ibn Baaz said:
“With regard to Takbeer on (Eid al-) Adhaa, it is prescribed from the beginning of the month until the end of the thirteenth day of Dhu’l-Hijjah.”
(Kitaab Majmoo’ Fataawa Wa Maqaalaat Mutanawwi’ah Li Samaahat Vol. 13, P. 17)
🔺Two types of Takbeeraat
The Takbeeraat are of TWO KINDS
1.”General” or “UNrestricted” Takbeeraat
These are said ANY time, ALL the time, during the day and night.
2.Specified or “Restricted” Takbeeraat
These Takbeeraat are said specifically AFTER EVERY FARDH Salaah, immediately after the salaam.
These Takbeeraat are to be said from Fajr of the 9th of Dhul Hijjah until Maghrib of the 13th of this month.
🍃Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen explains:
“The takbeer is divided into two categories:
*1. Takbeer at any time. *
This is takbeer that is not limited to a specific time, and it is Sunnah to say it all the time, morning and evening, before prayer and after prayer, at all times.
It is Sunnah to recite takbeer at “any time” during the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah and all the days of Tashreeq, starting from the beginning of the month of Dhu’l-Hijjah (i.e., from sunset on the last day of Dhu’l-Qa’dah) until the end of the days of al-Tashreeq, which is when the sun sets on the thirteenth day of Dhu’l-Hijjah).
2. Takbeer at certain times.
This is takbeer that is limited to the time immediately after prayer.
With regard to at “certain” times, it starts from Fajr on the day of ‘Arafah and lasts until the sun sets on the last day of the days of Tashreeq, in addition to the takbeer that may be recited at any time.
So when a person says the tasleem at the end of the obligatory prayer, he should pray for forgiveness (by saying Astaghfir-Allaah) three times, and say, “Allaahumma anta al-salaam wa minka al-salaam, tabaarakta yaa dhaa’l-jalaali wa’l-ikraam
(“O Allaah, You are al-Salaam [the One Who is free from all defects and deficiencies), and from You is all peace, blessed are You, O possessor of majesty and honor)”,
then start the takbeer.
This is for those who are NOT on Hajj.
The pilgrims should start the takbeer recited after prayer from Dhuhr on the Day of Sacrifice (the 10th of Dhu’l-Hijjah).”
[al-Sharh al-Mumti’ 5/220-224]
🔺Should I say the Takbeeraat LOUD or SOFT?
Brothers should raise their voices reciting this dhikr, wherever they may be, but sisters should say it softly, without raising their voices.
But if the sisters are at home, among Mahrams, then can say the Takbeeraat our loud as well.
So Come on!
Let us take advantage of these beautiful days of opportunity.
GLORIFY your Rabb, and MAGNIFY His Praise and EXALT His Name as MUCH as you can.
Sitting, walking, eating, driving, working, cleaning, cooking....
Keep saying it.
Start tonight and don’t stop until Maghrib of the 13th of Dhul Hijjah.
I ask Allaah to accept our Ibaadaat and good deeds and multiply them in these glorious days of Dhul Hijjah. Ameen.
