Another season, though much less known, is the first 10 days of Dhul Ḥijjah.

Though this season of worship is short, many of us sadly do not know about the significance and virtues of this blessed season. We do not give it the same attention and importance as we do to Ramaḍān. Unlike the blessed month, the devils are not chained in it, making it more difficult to have a rigid schedule of worship. However, this means that if we do spend these days in worship, the reward will be greater inshā’Allah.

We may not be physically present with the pilgrims, but we can share in their reward and endure the same spirit of sacrifice in these 10 days.

Though we may not be able to physically travel to the House of Allah, let us travel to Him with our hearts.
