THE MOST EXCELLENT MANNER OF
SEEKING FORGIVENESS
A book based on the Lecture delivered by
Shaikh Abdur-Razzaaq ibn Abdul-Muhsin al-Abbaad ...
So from Shaddaad ibn Aws from the Prophet that he said, “The noblest and most excellent manner of seeking forgiveness is that the servant says: ‘O Allaah, You are my Lord. None has the right to be worshiped except You. You created me, and I am Your slave/worshiper. And I am faithful to my covenant and my promise as far as I am able. I seek Your refuge from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge before You all the favors
that You have bestowed upon me. And I confess all my sins to You. So forgive me, since none can forgive sins except You.’
The Prophet said, “Whoever says it in the day, with firm conviction in it, and dies in that day before evening – then he is from the people of Paradise. Whoever says it in the night, with firm conviction in it, and he dies before the Morning – then he is from the people of Paradise.” #islam #seekingforgiveness #learnaboutislam
This document discusses the importance of remembering Allah (dhikr) through several hadiths and verses from the Quran. It states that dhikr is essential for believers as every moment not spent in dhikr will not benefit them and may even harm them. It also explains that dhikr "polishes the heart" by keeping it shining and recognizing truth from falsehood. The document warns that neglecting dhikr causes the heart to accumulate "rust" and lose this ability. Finally, it provides qualities one should look for in a spiritual guide, emphasizing they should be focused on dhikr and following the Sunnah.
The Decisive Word On The Factors Of Victory And Establishment

Indeed the best speech is the speech of Allaah and the best guidance is that of Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wassallam) and the worst of affairs are the newly invented matters in the religion, for every newly invented matter is an innovation and every innovation is misguidance and all misguidance is in the hellfire. The Islamic Ummah has been tested for over half a century with successive defeats and most of the Ummah is heedless as to the reasons for such defeats and afflictions. Allaah says: “Say, “it is from yourselves (i.e. due to your sin).” {Aali-Imraan: 165} – And Allaah says: “And whatever strikes you of disaster – it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much.” {ash-Shooraa: 30}. If our Ummah, at an individual level and at a societal level, the rulers and the ruled, reflected on the Book of Allaah and acted by its rulings and divine laws it would have achieved the causes for victory over their enemies. This is so they know that the Sunnah of Allaah in His creation does not change or become substituted by the passing of the times and by the repetition of the times. This an Excellent work on what exactly will bring victory to the Muslim Ummah.
The document discusses the virtues and benefits of the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah according to Islamic sources. It notes that these days are more blessed than other days based on Quranic verses and hadiths. Some key virtues mentioned are that good deeds are more beloved to Allah, past sins may be forgiven, and the reward for acts of worship are greater. The document provides guidance on acts to perform during this blessed time, such as fasting, sacrificing animals, increasing dhikr and good deeds, going for Hajj or Umrah, and being generous with charity.

How do the first ten days of the Month of Dhul Hijjah differ
from other days of the year?
Praise be to Allaah Who has created Time and has made some
times better than others, some months and days and nights better
than others, when rewards are multiplied many times, as a mercy
towards His slaves. This encourages them to do more righteous
deeds and makes them more eager to worship Him, so that the
Muslim renews his efforts to gain a greater share of reward, pre-
pare himself for death and supply himself in readiness for the
Day of Judgement .
This season of worship brings many benefits, such as the oppor-
tunity to correct one’s faults and make up for any shortcomings
or anything that one might have missed. Every one of these spe-
cial occasions involves some kind of worship through which the
slaves may draw closer to Allaah, and some kind of blessing
though which Allaah bestows His favour and mercy upon whom-
soever He will. The happy person is the one who makes the most
of these special months, days and hours and draws nearer to his
Lord during these times through acts of worship; he will most
likely be touched by the blessing of Allaah and will feel the joy of
knowing that he is safe from the flames of Hell. (Ibn Rajab, al-
Lataa’if, p.8)
The Muslim must understand the value of his life, increase his
worship of Allaah and persist in doing good deeds until the mo-
ment of death. Allaah says
“And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the
certainty.” [al-Hijr 15:99]
4. www.islamhouse.com

The mufassireen (commentators) said: “ ‘The certainty’ means
death.”
Among the special seasons of worship are the first ten days of
Dhu’l-Hijjah, which Allaah has preferred over all the other days
of the year. Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his
father) reported that the Prophet ( ) said:
“There are no days in which righteous deeds are more
beloved to Allaah than these ten days.” The people
asked, “Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah?” He said,
“Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah, except in the
case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and
his wealth up for the cause, and came back with noth-
ing.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 2/457)
Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father) also
reported that the Prophet ( ) said:
“There is no deed more precious in the sight of Allaah,
nor greater in reward, than a good deed done during the
ten days of Sacrifice.” He was asked, “Not even jihaad
for the sake of Allaah?” He said, “Not even jihaad for
the sake of Allaah, except in the case of a man who went
out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the
cause, and came back with nothing.” (Reported by al-
Daarimi, 1/357; its isnaad is hasan as stated in al-Irwaa’,
3/398)
These texts and others indicate that these ten days are better than
all the other days of the year, with no exceptions, not even the
last ten days of Ramadaan. But the last ten nights of Ramadaan are
better, because they include Laylat al-Qadr (“The Night of Pow-
5. www.islamhouse.com
5
er”), which is better than a thousand months. Thus the various
reports may be reconciled. (See Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 5/412)
You should know, my brother in Islaam, that the virtue of these
ten days is based on many things:
Allaah swears an oath by them, and swearing an oath by some-
thing is indicative of its importance and great benefit. Allaah says:
“By the dawn; by the ten nights.” [al-Fajr 89:1-2]
Ibn ‘Abbaas, Ibn al-Zubayr, Mujaahid and others of the earlier
and later generations said that this refers to the first ten days of
Dhu’l-Hijjah. Ibn Katheer said: “This is the correct opinion.”
(Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 8/413)
The Prophet ( ) testified that these are the best days of this
world, as we have already quoted above from saheeh ahaadeeth .
The Prophet ( ) encouraged people to do righteous deeds be-
cause of the virtue of this season for people throughout the
world, and also because of the virtue of the place - for the Hujjaaj
(pilgrims) to the Sacred House of Allaah.
The Prophet ( ) commanded us to recite a lot of Tasbeeh
(“Subhan-Allaah”), Tahmeed (“Al-hamdu Lillaah”) and
Takbeer (“Allaahu akbar”) during this time. ‘Abdullaah ibn
‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father) reported
that the Prophet ( ) said:
“There are no days greater in the sight of Allaah and in
which righteous deeds are more beloved to Him than
these ten days, so during this time recite a great deal of
Tahleel (“La ilaaha ill-Allaah”), Takbeer and Tahmeed.”

(Reported by Ahmad, 7/224; Ahmad Shaakir stated that
it is saheeh)
These ten days include Yawm ‘Arafaah (the Day of ‘Arafaah), on
which Allaah perfected His Religion. Fasting on this day will ex-
piate for the sins of two years. These days also include Yawm al-
Nahr (the Day of Sacrifice), the greatest day of the entire year and
the greatest day of Hajj, which combines acts of worship in a way
unlike any other day.
These ten days include the days of sacrifice and of Hajj.
Question: What must the Muslim avoid during these ten
days if he wants to offer a sacrifice?
The Sunnah indicates that the one who wants to offer a sacrifice
must stop cutting his hair and nails and removing anything from
his skin, from the beginning of the ten days until after he has of-
fered his sacrifice, because the Prophet ( ) said:
“When you see the new moon of Dhu’l-Hijjah, if any one
of you wants to offer a sacrifice, then he should stop cut-
ting his hair and nails until he has offered his sacrifice.”
According to another report he said:
“He should not remove anything from his hair or skin.”
(reported by Muslim with four isnaads, 13/146)
The Prophet’s instruction here makes one thing obligatory and
his prohibition makes another haraam, according to the soundest
opinion, because these commands and prohibitions are uncondi-
tional and unavoidable. If a person does any of these things deli-
7. www.islamhouse.com
7
berately, he must seek Allaah’s forgiveness but is not however
required to offer (an extra) sacrifice in expiation; his sacrifice will
be acceptable. Whoever needs to remove some hair, nails, etc.
because it is harming him, such as having a broken nail or a
wound in a site where there is hair, should do so, and there is
nothing wrong with that. The state of ihraam is so important that
it is permitted to cut one’s hair if leaving it will cause harm. There
is nothing wrong with men or women washing their heads during
the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah, because the Prophet ( ) only
forbade cutting the hair, not washing it.
The wisdom behind this prohibition from cutting his hair etc. for
the one who wants to offer a sacrifice, is so that he may resemble
those in ihraam in some aspects of the rituals performed, and so
that he may draw closer to Allaah by offering the sacrifice. So he
leaves his hair and nails alone until the time when he has offered
his sacrifice, in the hope that Allaah will save him in his entirety
from the Fire. And Allaah knows best.
If a person has cut his hair or nails during the first ten days of
Dhu’l-Hijjah because he was not planning to offer a sacrifice,
then he decides later, during the ten days, to offer a sacrifice, then
he must refrain from cutting his hair and nails from the moment
he makes this decision.
Some women may delegate their brothers or sons to make the
sacrifice on their behalf, then cut their hair during these ten days.
This is not correct, because the ruling applies to the one who is
offering the sacrifice, whether or not he (or she) delegates some-
one else to carry out the actual deed. The prohibition does not
apply to the person delegated, only to the person who is making
the sacrifice, as is indicated in the hadeeth. The person who is
8. www.islamhouse.com
8
sacrificing on behalf of someone else, for whatever reason, does
not have to adhere to this prohibition.
This prohibition appears to apply only to the one who is offering
the sacrifice, not to his wife and children, unless any of them is
offering a sacrifice in his or her own right, because the Prophet
( ) used to sacrifice “on behalf of the family of Muhammad,”
but there are no reports that say he forbade them to cut their hair
or nails at that time.
If a person was planning to offer a sacrifice, then he decides to go
and perform Hajj, he should not cut his hair or nails if he wants
to enter ihraam, because the Sunnah is only to cut hair and nails
when necessary. But if he is performing Tamattu’ [whereby he
performs ‘Umrah, comes out of ihraam and enters ihraam anew
for Hajj], he should trim his hair at the end of his ‘Umrah be-
cause this is part of the ritual.
The things that are described above as being prohibited for the
person who is planning to offer a sacrifice are reported in the ha-
deeth quoted above; the person is not forbidden to wear per-
fume, have marital relations, wear sewn garments, etc.
Concerning the types of worship to be performed during these
ten days: one must understand that these days are a great blessing
from Allaah to His slave, which is appreciated properly by the
actively righteous. It is the Muslim’s duty to appreciate this bless-
ing and make the most of the opportunity, by devoting these ten
days to paying more attention to striving hard in worship. Among
His blessings to His slaves, Allaah has given us many ways in
which to do good and worship Him, so that the Muslim may be
constantly active and consistent in his worship of his Lord .

Among the good deeds which the Muslim should strive to do
during the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah are:
Fasting. It is Sunnah to fast on the ninth day of Dhu’l-Hijjah,
because the Prophet ( ) urged us to do good deeds during this
time, and fasting is one of the best of deeds. Allaah has chosen
fasting for Himself, as is stated in the Hadeeth Qudsi:
“Allaah says: ‘All the deeds of the son of Adam are for
him, except for fasting, which is for Me and I am the
One Who will reward him for it.’ ” (Reported by al-
Bukhaari, 1805)
The Prophet ( ) used to fast on the ninth of Dhu’l-Hijjah. Hu-
naydah ibn Khaalid reported from his wife that some of the wives
of the Prophet ( ) said:
“The Prophet ( ) used to fast on the ninth of Dhu’l-
Hijjah, on the day of ‘Aashooraa´, on three days of each
month, and on the first two Mondays and Thursdays of
each month.” (Reported by al-Nisaa’i, 4/205 and by Abu
Dawud; classified by al-Albaani as saheeh in Saheeh Abi
Dawud, 2/462)
Takbeer. It is Sunnah to say Takbeer (“Allaahu akbar”),
Tahmeed (“Al-hamdu Lillaah”), Tahleel (“La ilaha ill-
Allaah”) and Tasbeeh (“Subhaan Allaah”) during the first ten
days of Dhu’l-Hijjah, and to say it loudly in the mosque, the
home, the street and every place where it is permitted to remem-
ber Allaah and mention His name out loud, as an act of worship
and as a proclamation of the greatness of Allaah, may He be ex-
alted.
10. www.islamhouse.com
10
Men should recite these phrases out loud, and women should re-
cite them quietly .
Allaah says:
“That they might witness things that are of benefit to
them (i.e., reward of Hajj in the Hereafter, and also
some worldly gain from trade, etc.), and mention the
name of Allaah on appointed days, over the beast of cat-
tle that He has provided for them (for sacrifice)...” [al-
Hajj 22:28]
The majority of scholars agree that the “appointed days” are the
first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah, because of the words of Ibn ‘Ab-
baas ( ): “The ‘appointed days’ are the first ten days (of
Dhu’l-Hijjah.”
The Takbeer may include the words:
“Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, la ilaaha ill-Allaah; wa Al-
laahu akbar wa Lillaahi’l-hamd (Allaah is Most Great,
Allaah is Most Great, there is no god but Allaah; Allaah
is Most Great and to Allaah be praise)…”
…as well as other phrases.
Takbeer at this time is an aspect of the Sunnah that has been for-
gotten, especially during the early part of this period, so much so
that one hardly ever hears Takbeer, except from a few people.
This Takbeer should be pronounced loudly, in order to revive the
Sunnah and as a reminder to the negligent. There is sound evi-
dence that Ibn ‘Umar and Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased
with them) used to go out in the marketplace during the first ten
days of Dhu’l-Hijjah, reciting Takbeer, and the people would re-
11. www.islamhouse.com
11
cite Takbeer when they heard them. The idea behind reminding
the people to recite Takbeer is that each one should recite it indi-
vidually, not in unison, as there is no basis in Sharee‘ah for doing
this.
Reviving aspects of the Sunnah that have been virtually forgotten
is a deed that will bring an immense reward, as is indicated by the
words of the Prophet ( ):
“Whoever revives an aspect of my Sunnah that is forgot-
ten after my death, he will have a reward equivalent to
that of the people who follow him, without it detracting
in the least from their reward.” (Reported by al-
Tirmidhi, 7/443; this is a hasan hadeeth because of cor-
roborating asaaneed)
Performing Hajj and ‘Umrah. One of the best deeds that one
can do during these ten days is to perform Hajj to the Sacred
House of Allaah. The one whom Allaah helps to go on Hajj to
His House and to perform all the rituals properly is included in
the words of the Prophet ( ):
“An accepted Hajj brings no less a reward than Para-
dise.”
Doing more good deeds in general, because good deeds are be-
loved by Allaah and will bring a great reward from Him. Whoever
is not able to go to Hajj should occupy himself at this blessed
time by worshipping Allaah, praying (salaat), reading Qur`an, re-
membering Allaah, making supplication (du‘aa´), giving charity,
honouring his parents, upholding the ties of kinship, enjoining
what is good and forbidding what is evil, and other good deeds
and acts of worship.
12. www.islamhouse.com
12
Sacrifice. One of the good deeds that will bring a person closer
to Allaah during these ten days is offering a sacrifice, by choosing
a high-quality animal and fattening it, spending money for the
sake of Allaah .
Sincere repentance. One of the most important things to do
during these ten days is to repent sincerely to Allaah and to give
up all kinds of disobedience and sin. Repentance means coming
back to Allaah and foregoing all the deeds, open and secret, that
He dislikes, out of regret for what has passed, giving it up imme-
diately and being determined never to return to it, but to adhere
firmly to the Truth by doing what Allaah loves.
If a Muslim commits a sin, he must hasten to repent at once,
without delay, firstly because he does not know when he will die,
and secondly because one evil deed leads to another.
Repentance at special times is very important because in most
cases people’s thoughts turn towards worship at these times, and
they are keen to do good, which leads to them recognizing their
sins and feeling regret for the past. Repentance is obligatory at all
times, but when the Muslim combines sincere repentance with
good deeds during the days of most virtue, this is a sign of suc-
cess, in sha Allaah. Allaah says:
“But as for him who repented, believed and did righ-
teous deeds, then he will be among those who are suc-
cessful.” [al-Qasas 28:67]
The Muslim should make sure that he does not miss any of these
important occasion, because time is passing quickly. Let him pre-
pare himself by doing good deeds which will bring him reward
when he is most in need of it, for no matter how much reward he
13. www.islamhouse.com
13
earns, he will find it is less than he needs; the time of departure is
at hand, the journey is frightening, delusions are widespread, and
the road is long, but Allaah is ever watchful, and to Him will we
return and render account. As the Qur`aan says:
“So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an
atom, shall see it. And whosoever does evil equal to the
weight of an atom, shall see it.” [al-Zalzalah 99:7-8]
There is much to be gained, so make the most of the opportunity
afforded by these invaluable and irreplaceable ten days. Hasten to
do good works, before death strikes, before one can regret one’s
negligence and failure to act, before one is asked to return to a
place where no prayers will be answered, before death intervenes
between the hopeful one and the things he hopes for, before you
are trapped with your deeds in the grave.
O you whose hard heart is as dark as the night, is it not time that
your heart was filled with light and became soft? Expose yourself
to the gentle breeze of your Lord’s mercy during these ten days,
for Allaah will cause this breeze to touch whomever He wills, and
whoever is touched by it will be happy on the Day of Judgement.
May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and all his Family and
Companions.
