That's why, in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, Muslims are encouraged to perform various deeds. Such as fasting, remembering Allah, and so on. By performing these deeds in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, dear Dream friends will receive abundant rewards from Allah SWT. In addition, it is important for dear Dream friends to know that there are several important events in the history of Islam in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah. Where these events have a multitude of wisdom that you can take.

The important event in the first month of Dzulhijjah is that Prophet Adam and Eve were forgiven by Allah SWT. Forgiven from what? Yes, as we know from the story of Prophet Adam, he and his wife made a mistake by consuming the forbidden fruit of khuldi. As a result, Allah SWT sent Prophet Adam and Eve down to earth. On the 1st of Dzulhijjah, Allah SWT forgave the mistakes committed by Prophet Adam and Eve.

Does Dream still remember the story of Prophet Yunus (as) who was swallowed by a large fish? Yes, it happened because Prophet Yunus left his people who did not accept his preaching. Eventually, Allah SWT commanded the big fish to swallow Prophet Yunus, but without harming him. While inside the fish's stomach, Prophet Yunus prayed to Allah SWT for help.

"Even the prayer is immortalized in the Al-Quran. On the 2nd of Dzulhijjah, Allah SWT answered the prayer of Prophet Yunus and returned him to the land."

On the 3rd of Dzulhijjah, an important event occurred to Prophet Zakaria (AS). At that time, Prophet Zakaria was eagerly awaiting a son. However, he was already very old, and his wife was unable to have children. Yet, through his patience and tireless prayers to Allah SWT, his prayers were answered. Prophet Zakaria and his wife were finally blessed with a son who would later succeed him in spreading the message of Islam.

The event that occurred on the 4th of Dzulhijjah was Maryam giving birth to Prophet Isa without a father. This is recorded in the Quran in Surah Ali Imran, verses 42-47, where the angel Jibril states that Maryam will give birth to a pure baby boy. The words of the angel Jibril became a reality. Eventually, Maryam gave birth to a son without a father figure, which caused her to be mocked by the community.

On the 5th of Dzulhijjah is the birthday of one of the prophets, namely Prophet Musa (Moses), peace be upon him. However, unfortunately, on the day of his birth, there was a policy from Pharaoh that all male children in Egypt should be killed. Finally, Prophet Musa was floated by his mother in the Nile River and found by Asiyah, the wife of Pharaoh.

The month of Dzulhijjah is indeed filled with glory and extraordinary Islamic events. One of them is on the 6th of Dzulhijjah, where Allah SWT opens the door of goodness to Prophet Muhammad. That is why, someone who fasts on the 6th of Dzulhijjah, Allah SWT will bestow His mercy upon them and protect them from punishment forever.

Hell becomes a very frightening place. Because this is where people who do not obey the commands of Allah SWT will be placed. However, on the 7th of Dzulhijjah, there is an event where Allah SWT closes and locks the door of hell. The door will be opened again after the 10th day of the month of Dzulhijjah. And whoever fasts on the 7th of Dzulhijjah, then he will be saved from 30 doors of hardship and 30 doors of ease will be opened for him.

On the 8th of Dzulhijjah, there was an event where Prophet Ibrahim (as) was commanded by Allah SWT to build the Kaaba. When the building was completed, he pondered whether his actions would bring rewards or not. That is why the 8th of Dzulhijjah is called yaum al-tarwiyah, which means a day of contemplation and reflection.

Nah, whoever fasts on the 8th of Dzulhijjah, will receive a reward that only Allah SWT knows the value of. Additionally, on this date, Prophet Ibrahim had a dream to sacrifice his son, Prophet Ismail as. He only became certain of this dream on the 9th of Dzulhijjah. He believed that the dream was from Allah SWT and not from Satan. The 9th of Dzulhijjah is called Yaumul Arafah because the place where Prophet Ismail was to be sacrificed is called Arafah.
