Zul-Hijjah
Twelfth and last month of the Islamic Calendar.
Meaning: The month of "Hajj" (Pilgrimage). This is the last sacred month in which fighting

The fifth pillar of Islam "Hajj" is performed in this sacred month. The first ten days of ZulHijjah are the most virtuous days in this whole month, Hajj is performed amongst these ten
days.
Hadhrat Abu Haraira (R.A) reports from the Holy Prophet
: "Amongst all days there are
none better to engage in sole worship of Allah than in the ten days of Zul-Hijjah, To observe
a fast on any of these days is equivalent to fasting throughout the year, to actively engage in
prayer and worship throughout any of these nights holds such rewarding values levelling
with "night of power" (Laylatul-Qadr) "Tirmizi"
It has been stated in the Holy Qur'an, "By the dawn; By the ten nights (ie. the first ten days of
the month of Zul-Hijjah), and by the even and the odd (of all the creations of Allah) and by
night when it departs. There are indeed in them (the above oaths) sufficient proofs for men
of understanding. (and that they should avoid all kinds of sins and disbelief)"
Hadhrat Abi Qataadah (R.A) reports in a part narration from the Holy Prophet
concerning
the fast observed on the day of Arafaat: "I have full confidence in Allah for the one who
observes a fast on the day of Arafaat that his previous year's sins and the proceeding year's
sins are forgiven."
