The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are truly special for every Muslim. This is a great opportunity to replenish your spirit, think about your life, and do good things. Qurbani, one of Islam’s most important acts of prayer, is at the centre of these glorious days.
There are times over the year when giving feels even more wonderful. Every good deed means more, every act of kindness goes further, and every sacrifice brings you closer to Allah. The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are a great opportunity to gather rewards, reflect, and start afresh.
Dhul Hijjah definitely wakes up the heart, while Ramadan touches it.
So, what is it about these days that makes them so special? And what makes giving Qurbani at this time even better? Let’s look at how beautiful and blessed this sacred time is.
A Special Time: The 10 Days of Dhul Hijjah
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) remarked that these ten days were the best of the year. He even said:
“There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than those ten days.” — [Bukhari and Muslim]
This indicates that your prayers, fasts, and good deeds are more important than usual right now, particularly your Qurbani. In the Quran, Allah swears by several days:
“By the dawn, and the ten nights,” – Surah Al-Fajr (1-2)
These verses remind us that these days are not only important, but also exceedingly sacred. Every thing you do during these days, such fasting, praying, giving to charity, or remembering Allah, will earn you more benefits.
Give Qurbani and share real joy during these 10 beautiful days to get the most out of them.
Qurbani: A Legacy of Faith and Following
The story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who was willing to kill his son to satisfy Allah, is quite similar to the sacrifice of Qurbani during Dhul Hijjah. Muslims honour it every year because it is a strong reminder of submission, trust, and kindness.
At its heart, Qurbani is a tribute to the unwavering faith of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who always put Allah’s word first. Muslims from all across the world show their respect for that trust by giving up an animal, money, and their pride. But it’s not about the meat or the ritual. The Quran reads:
“It is not their meat nor their blood, that reaches Allah: it is your piety that reaches Him.” — Surah Al-Hajj (22:37)
We are not only doing our religious duty when we donate Qurbani today, but we are also connecting to that act of devotion that has been going on for a long time. We can still be a part of this holy time even if we are not doing Hajj. We can do something important by giving Qurbani at home or through a group like United Muslims.
“ And complete the Hajj and ‘Umrah for Allah.” — Surah Al-Baqarah (2:196)

A lot of families don’t get to eat meat very frequently, so it’s a great treat for them. Your Qurbani could make them smile this Eid because it’s the first real meal they’ve had in a long time.
Giving Qurbani throughout the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah is more than just a religious duty. It’s also a chance to feed individuals who might not have had meat all year. You are taking care of them, giving them food, and letting them know they are not alone.
And what do you get in return? You have blessings that will stay long after this life.
