These ten days are not like Ramadan. There is no chaining of the devils, nor that special atmosphere that helps the soul through the gathering of people, the filling of the mosques, and the ease of performing acts of worship.

Rather, the ten days of Dhûl-Hîjjâh are the arena of the truthful and the appointed time for the eager. It is in these days that the servant’s sincerity with Allāh becomes manifest — because he enters them while the Shaytān is with him, and the worldly life surrounds him with its occupations and worries.

So, congratulations to the one who knows their true value, and prepares for them before they arrive.

“What is manhood?”

Al-Ahnaf said,

“Forbearance at a time of anger,

and forgiveness at a time of power.”

“I heard Bishr say,

‘Hunger

- purifies the heart

- kills desires

- and grants precise knowledge.’”

“When Allah the Exalted intends evil or destruction for a servant,

He removes modesty from him,

and you will not meet him

except that he is detestable and despised.”

“To whomever Allah wills goodness,

He allows them to comprehend.”

Every human being must, from time to time, surrender to rest,

to watch life unfold before them

"Whoever knows himself well,

would keep himself busy reforming himself

instead of talking about the faults of others.

Whoever knows his Lord,

would keep himself busy trying

to please Him instead of trying to please himself."

He will quickly receive the inspiration to repent.

He will be content with whatever he receives.

He will be resolute in his worship.

On the other hand, the person who does forget death will suffer three punishments.

He will not be inspired to repent quickly.

He will not be content with what he has.

He will be lazy to worship.
