Recommended Deeds for the Ten Best Days of the Year


The best days for doing good


These blessed days are quickly coming to an end, so let's take full advantage of them while we still can. If deeds on these days are more beloved to Allah than on any other days, including those of Ramadan, shall we not hasten to do as many as we can?


Hasten to do good


{And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden (Paradise) as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous} (3:133)

{Race toward forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden whose width is like the width of the heavens and earth, prepared for those who believed in Allah and His messengers. That is the bounty of Allah which He gives to whom He wills, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty.} (57:21)


Race, and be of those who are fortunate to have received the bounty, grace and favour of Allah! Do not hold back, rather hasten to earn all the rewards you can. Be a part of spreading Islamic knowledge, enlightening Muslims in matters of their Religion and having their questions answered.

Strive to do good, the results of which you will see in this world, in your grave and the Hereafter, in sha Allah.


Suggested good deeds


Following is a list of things to keep in mind and which can be done during these days; it is in no way an exhaustive list, but some reminders and tips for all of us.

  • Removing obstacles from the road/pathways (such as a branch, broken glass, garbage from a sidewalk etc).

  • Being kinder to your spouse and making them happy.

  • Visiting a fellow Muslim or calling/contacting them just to say salam and maintain ties of brother/sisterhood.

  • Helping someone pay a debt if they are in difficulty.

  • Helping someone pay a bill if they can't afford it.

  • Lending an ear to a fellow Muslim who just needs someone to listen to them.

  • Helping someone by getting their groceries for them (perhaps getting out is a challenge for them; you don't necessarily have to pay for them).
    Getting new clothes for the children of a needy family for 'Eid (or even the adults).

  • Sending something to such families (food, a gift, sweets-for example) to make 'Eid a happy day for them.

  • Giving someone a ride to 'Eid salah if they don't have transport.

  • Helping someone sign up for 'Eid salah as most places only allow us in if we register, due to COVID (there are many who don't use technology much).

  • Reminding others of the virtues of these days.

  • Reminding people to fast the day of 'Arafah.

  • Providing someone with food to break their fast with on the day of 'Arafah
