‎Advice for the Best Days of the World ‎“I urge all my brothers to make the most of this upcoming period by increasing their good deeds; for these ten days are the best days of the year, as it was authentically reported from the Prophet ﷺ in Sahih Bukhari that he said: ‎“There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days,” referring to these ten days. ‎A servant should therefore perform abundant righteous deeds during these days, especially those prescribed by Shariah. Among the greatest of these is the pilgrimage to the House of Allah. Also included is fasting on the Day of Arafah and takbeer during these days. ‎A servant should be keen on performing these specific righteous acts during this time and should increase in regular good deeds, as regular good deeds are even more emphasized during such times. ‎These include supplications, earnest imploring, remembrance of Allah, Qiyaam ul-Lail, the Duha prayer, and the Rawatib prayers, as these acts are greater during these times than at other times. ‎Moreover, a servant—especially students of knowledge—should benefit from these times when studies are paused to benefit themselves by engaging in activities that bring them closer to their Lord, especially in these times of widespread trials and the banners of its callers are raised. ‎A servant can only attain salvation from it by increasing in worship. As reported in Sahih Muslim from the hadith of Ma'qil (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet ﷺ said: ‎“Worship during the time of turmoil is like migration to me,” ‎meaning during times of fitnah. Thus, one should increase in worship, focus his self on it, and protect the heart from corruptions, which are abundant in the form of desires and doubts. ‎It is not appropriate for those seeking salvation to engage in that which has no benefit for them, and the essence of that which has no benefit for them is leaving that which does not concern them. It was reported that Luqman was asked, ‎“How did you attain this status?” He replied, “By abandoning what does not concern me.” ‎Therefore, a servant should devote their time to what concerns them, perfecting themselves according to the servitude that is their role, and not burden themselves with anything beyond what they are not prepared for. They should increase in supplication to Allah and earnestly implore Him, for if a servant is barred from supplicating to their Lord, neither their sharp understanding nor their strong memory will benefit them. But, if these strengths are combined with earnest imploring and seeking refuge in Allah, and persistently asking and resorting to Him, then Allah will open for them the doors of goodness of knowledge and action. ‎And it has been mentioned that one of the doors of goodness which cannot be attained through a teacher or a book, is the door of divine opening that Allah opens for a servant, this door is opened only by persistently knocking on it through supplication to Allah.” ‎شرح على تحفة الناسك في أحكام المناسك للعلامة سليمان بن عبدالله
