This year, Dhul Hijjah will begin around 18th May and end around 15th June, dependent on the moon sighting. So, the first ten days will be from 18th-28th May, dependent on the moon.
The Prophet (saw) said, 鈥楾here are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than in these (ten) days鈥� [Abu Dawud].
Many of you will either have loved ones who will be making Hajj or are fortunate to be able to go yourselves this year. With that in mind, we鈥檝e put together an essential list of the du鈥檃s one needs to memorise when going on 鈥橴mrah or Hajj. Please check out our easy guide to how to perform 鈥橴mrah and Hajj as well.
