Dhul Hijjah 1

VIRTUES OF THE FIRST TEN DAYS OF DHUL-HIJJAH (PART-1)

The first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are among the most blessed and sacred days in Islam. They are days filled with mercy, forgiveness, worship, and immense reward. During these blessed days, every prayer, sincere du'a, act of charity, and remembrance of Allah carries greater virtue and reward.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days."

- Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 969

Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ also honored these days in the Qur'an:

"By the dawn; and by the ten nights."

- Qur'an 89:1-2

Many scholars explained that the "ten nights" refer to the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah

These blessed days are an opportunity to:

• Increase in prayer and worship
• Read and reflect upon the Qur'an
• Give charity generously

• Seek forgiveness sincerely
• Help others with kindness and compassion
• Fast during the first nine days if able

• Fast especially on the Day of 'Arafah

Dhul Hijjah 2

VIRTUES OF THE FIRST TEN DAYS OF DHUL-HIJJAH (PART-2)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

"Fasting the Day of 'Arafah expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year."

- Sahih Muslim, Hadith 1162

Do not allow these precious days to pass in distraction or heedlessness. Many who witnessed the previous Dhul-Hijjah are no longer with us today. These days may be another opportunity from Allah repent, grow closer to Him, and attain His mercy.

Fill your days and nights with the remembrance of Allah:

• Takbir — "Allahu Akbar"
• Tahmid — "Alhamdulillah"
• Tahlil — "La ilaha illallah"
• Tasbih — "SubhanAlIah"

Welcome to Masjid Maryam, Merriam, Johnson County, KS

With Allah’s blessings and support of our community, a long-time dream has become a reality. In 2001 a few dedicated Muslims organized Salat al-Juma’h at the Lenexa Community Center, registered the Shawnee Mission Islamic Education Center (SMIEC), Inc. in 2010, and received IRS 501c3 status in 2011. We bought a building in 2019 that is now home to the newest masjid in our area.

Hadith on Building Mosque

Islamic ayat with translation

“The mosques of Allah shall be maintained only by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day; perform As-Salaah (Iqaamat-as-Salaah), and give Zakah and fear none but Allah. It is they who are on true guidance”

[al-Tawbah 9:18]

Ibn Majaah (738) narrated from Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah, like a sparrow’s nest or even smaller, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.

Uthman ibn Affan reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise.”
