The 6th of Zilhaj is a significant day in the Islamic calendar, especially since it occurs during the holy month of Zilhaj, which is historically connected with the observance of Hajj rituals and religious preparation for Eid ul Adha. It is a day of reflection, worship, and preparation for the following blessed days.
Throughout these days, pilgrims in Makkah perform necessary rituals until the Day of Arafah and Eid ul Adha. For other than pilgrims, it is a period to participate in worship, fasting, and charity acts, as per the practices of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
One of the most important practices of the pre-Eid days is fasting and remembrance of Allah. Most Muslims keep fasts on the first nine days of Zilhaj because they are extremely rewarding. The 6th of Zilhaj is a day of greater spiritual consciousness where the faithful increase their supplications and seek proximity to Allah. Scholars give great importance to prayers, recitation of the Quran, and introspection in these days.
Moreover, Islamic history is filled with important events that occurred on these holy days and, therefore, they become a period where believers embrace the sacrifices and teachings of great men in Islam. As believers set themselves up for Eid ul Adha, the 6th of Zilhaj becomes a time to cleanse intentions, make their faith stronger, and take their devotion to Allah even deeper.
Therefore, this day is a gateway to the greatest acts of worship in Zilhaj, calling upon Muslims everywhere to accept its benefits with faith and appreciation.seemore
