✨ What is the difference between the Known Days, the Completing Days, and the Numbered Days?
🔹 The Known Days (Ayyam Ma'lumat)
Allah says:
📖 "...and mention the name of Allah on known days..." (Qur'an 22:28)
📌 Many scholars, including Ibn Abbas (RA), explained that the Known Days are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.
🌟 These are among the greatest days of the year, and Allah swore by them:
📖 "By the dawn, and by the ten nights." (Qur'an 89:1-2)
💚 During these days Muslims increase in:
✅ Remembrance of Allah
✅ Takbir
✅ Fasting
✅ Charity
✅ Righteous deeds
━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔹 The Completing Days
Allah says:
📖 "And We appointed for Moses thirty nights and completed them with ten more." (Qur'an 7:142)
📌 Many commentators mention that the thirty nights were in Dhul-Qa'dah and the additional ten were the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.
🌙 They are called the Completing Days because they completed the forty-night appointment of Prophet Musa (AS).
━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔹 The Numbered Days (Ayyam Ma'dudat)
Allah says:
📖 "And remember Allah during numbered days." (Qur'an 2:203)
📌 These are the Days of Tashreeq:
🗓️ 11th of Dhul-Hijjah
🗓️ 12th of Dhul-Hijjah
🗓️ 13th of Dhul-Hijjah
🌿 They are days of:
🔸 Remembering Allah
🔸 Takbir after prayers
🔸 Stoning the Jamarat (for pilgrims)
🔸 Sacrificial offerings
━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌟 Summary
🟢 Known Days = First ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.
🟢 Completing Days = The same first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah that completed the appointment of Prophet Musa (AS).
🟢 Numbered Days = The three Days of Tashreeq (11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah).
🤲 May Allah allow us to benefit from these blessed days and accept our good deeds. ✨🌙
