“The true essence of sacrifice is the annihilation of the self (fanā-e-nafs). That is why Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was commanded to sacrifice his son, not himself. Because slaughtering one’s child with one’s own hand is far more painful and difficult for the self than slaughtering one’s own neck with one’s own hand. No father in his full senses would ever willingly accept such an act…In fact, offering one’s own life would seem much easier and simpler. And this is precisely the meaning of the annihilation of the self: to go against the desires of one’s own ego. This is why the command to sacrifice one’s child holds much more meaning than sacrificing oneself.” — Hakim al-Ummah, Mawlana Ashraf Ali Thanwi رح

“The Days of Tashrīq combine both blessings of the body and the heart for the believers: the blessings of the body through eating and drinking, and the blessings of the heart through dhikr and gratitude. This is a completion of all blessings. Furthermore, whenever they thank Allah for a blessing, their gratitude in itself is another blessing; and this requires further gratitude. And gratitude never ends.” — Ibn Rajab (raḥimahullāh)

“Annihilation (fanā) is the essence of the ultimate Hajj, and annihilation is also the essence of perfect sacrifice. — The ego is annihilated in both, but because sacrifice is purely against reason and solely a pain for the ego, although it is a form of annihilation, it does not equal the Hajj. There is a difference between perfection (tām) and completeness (atamm) in both. This is the true essence of both.” — Hakim al-Ummah, Mawlana Ashraf Ali Thanwi رح

Awza’i رحمه الله said, “I realized that people were reserving things (their duas, needs, wishes) for the day of Arafah to ask Allāh for them. And some of them used to say: ‘For fifty years I have been supplicating on the day of Arafah and the year does not go by except that I see the answer of my dua come to pass as the morning light (as clear as day).’” [Lataif al Ma’arif]

Imām As-Sanūsī (Raḥimahullāh) said: “Abundant sending of Ṣalāh and Salām upon him (Ṣallallāhu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam) is among the highest means of protection from fears and dangers, and attaining the highest ranks. And if the virtue of sending Ṣalāh upon him were only what is mentioned in the Ṣaḥāḥ, that ‘Whoever sends Ṣalāh once upon our Master and Patron Muḥammad (peace be upon him), it is as if he sent ten upon him,’ that alone would be sufficient.”

Imam al-Nawawi’s Advice for Arafah “This is the best day in the year for supplicating, thus it befits a person to fully devote his efforts in making Dhikr, Du'a and reciting the Quran; and he should supplicate with the different kinds of Duas and read the different kinds of Dhikr. He should supplicate for himself, his parents, relatives, mashaykh, companions, friends, loved ones and any one else who was good to him as well as all the Muslims. And let him be fully cautious from falling short in any of these as this day cannot be made up.” [كتاب الأذكار للنووي طبعة دار المنهاج ص ٣٣٣]

Al-Hāfidh ibn Ḥajr al-ʿAsqalānī رحمه الله said: "The Day of Jumu'ah (that comes) within the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah is more virtuous than Jumu'ah in other than it due to it combining the two virtues (of Jumu'ah and Dhul Hijjah) therein." [Fatḥ al-Bārī bi-Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (3/29)]
