The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:
“There are no days during which good deeds are more beloved to Allah than these (ten) days.” He was then asked, “Not even jihad in the path of Allah?” He replied, “Not even jihad in the path of Allah, except for a person who goes out with his self and his wealth, and comes back with nothing.”

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“There are no other days that are as great as these in the sight of Allah, the Most Sublime. Nor are there any deeds more beloved to Allah then those that are done in these ten days. So increase in tahlîl (to say lâ illaha illallah), takbîr (to say allahu akbar) and tahmîd (to say alhumdulillâh).”

* For those following local moon sightings, today is 29 Dhul Qa’dah 1433 and therefore if the moon is sighted tonight (of which there is a high probability that it will be sighted) then Dhul Hijjah will commence on Wednesday as per the Saudi Announcement. However, if for some reason the moon is not sighted locally then some people may choose to start Dhul Hijjah on Thursday 18 October 2012.
