that no one could surpass him.

5- Ibn Hajar said in the Al Fath (Fath al-Bary): “It appears that the preference of these days is due to the gathering of the main acts of worship in Dhul-Hijjah which are praying, fasting, giv-ing charity and pilgrimage which are restricted to these days. What is preferred to do on these days: 1- Praying: Praying of obligatory prayers on its due times is preferable and also the increas-ing of Nawafel (supererogatory prayer which were performed by Prophet Muhammad (prayer and peace of Allah be upon him) are the best way to make good deeds with Allah. Narrated by Thawban: I heard the Messenger of Allah, prayer and peace of Allah be upon him saying: “You should prostrate a lot to Allah as with every prostration you make, He raises your rank for one degree and drops one of your sins.” [Reported by Muslim] and this is appropriate at any time. 2- Fasting: as it is from the good deeds. 3- At-Takbeer (saying Allah is the Greatest), At-Tahlil (saying there is no God except Allah) and praising Allah. Imam Al-Bukhari, may Allah have mercy on his soul, said: “Omar was saying: Lâ Ilaha Ila Allah “There is no God except Allah” in his dome in Mina, therefore, the people of Mina heard and repeated after him and so did the people in the markets till the whole city of Mina shook out of their takbeer”. 4-Fasting the day of Arafat: Fasting the day of Arafat is ascertained as it is attested that the Messenger of Allah, prayer and peace of Allah be upon him, said about fasting it: “I rely on Allah that He forgives the sins of the year before it and of the year after it”. [Reported by Muslim] 5-The virtue of the day of the sacrifice: A lot of Muslims forget about that great day, and also about its great rank and virtue, despite the point of view of some scholars who believe that it is the best day ever of the year, even better than Arafat day. Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on his soul, said: “The best day to Allah is the day of sacrifice. It is the day of Al Hajj Al Akbar (the greatest pilgrimage)”.

By what can you receive the good seasons? 1-The Muslim should receive the good seasons in general by the honest, sincere repentance, quitting sins and wrongdoings, for the sins deprive the human from his Lord’s grace and keep his heart away from Him. 2-In addition, the good seasons should be received, generally, with the serious and persisting intention to gain the satisfaction of Allah Almighty, for that the one who is honest with Allah, Allah is honest with him: {As for those who strive hard in Us (Our Cause), We will surely guide them to Our Paths (i.e. Allâh’s religion - Islâmic Monotheism).} [Surat Al-’Ankabut 29:69]

Some of the ordinances concerning the sacrifice and its legitimacy:

The sacrifice is originally permissible for living people, as the Messenger of Allah, prayer and peace of Allah be upon him, and his companions sacrificed for themselves and their relatives, but there is no origin of the idea of the common who think that it is dedicated to the dead peo-ple.

Congratulating for the feast: As it is ascertained by the companions of the Messenger, prayer and peace of Allah be upon him.

Finally, don’t forget to comply with good deeds like keeping good relations with relatives and visiting them, leaving hatred and envy and purifying one’s heart from them, helping orphans and the poor, making them happy and being kind to them.
