Tswv yim ntawm Lub Limtiam: Remember Allah in The Days of Dhul Hijjah

Cov tug yawm saub pom hais tias “There are no days that are greater before Allah or in which good deeds are more beloved to Him, than these ten days, so recite a great deal of tahleel, takbeer and tahmeed during them.” [Ahmad, 7/224]

The days of dhul Hijjah are now almost upon us, and this is a time when we should increase in our worship to our Lord as has been commanded to us. During these 10 Hnub, the sunnah is to recite the following as much as possible:

Takbeer: Allahu akbar – God is most great

Tahmeed: Al-hamdu Lillah – All praises be to God

Tahleel: Laa ilaha ill-Allah -There is no god but Allah

Tasbeeh: Subhaan-Allah – Glory be to God

One is also permitted to recite the takbeer as follows (authentic):

Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, laa ilaaha ill-Allah, WAllahu akbar, wa Lillaah il-hamd.

Which translates as: Allah yog feem ntau zoo kawg thiab, Allah yog feem ntau zoo kawg thiab, Yog tsis muaj vaj tswv tab sis Allah; Allah yog feem ntau zoo kawg thiab rau Allah yuav qhuas.

Whatever you do, don’t forget your remembrance of Allah during the coming days of Dhul Hijjah, and don’t forget to make dua for yourself and your brothers and sisters around the world who are suppressed.
