As the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah approach, many of us think about worship, sacrifice, and preparation for Eid. But, something deeper lies under the surface that cannot be neglected: the state of our heart.

Our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us:
“No good deeds are better than what is done in these first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.”

This teaching comes with mercy.
If you’re entering this blessed month with a heavy heart, if you’re exhausted, feeling drained, or spiritually struggling… remember that Allah ﷻ does not expect perfection, but to turn back to Him sincerely.

Perhaps these blessed days are not about doing everything.
They’re about striving to do the best you can. About reconnecting with your salah, the Qur’an, dhikr, practicing gratitude, or reconnecting with parts of yourself that this dunya may have caused you to neglect.

These next ten days, choose yourself. And do it for the sake of Allah.

We’re here for you. If you need extra support, book an appointment at the Maristan clinic on our website maristan.org
