Some Supplications for the First 10 Days of Hajj
The first ten days of the Islamic month of Zul Hijjah, the twelfth month of the calendar, are a special time when all kinds of good deeds are encouraged and highly rewarded.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” The people asked, “Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah?” He said, “Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing (Bukhari).
The Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam) said: No one makes a Dua without Allah giving him what he asks for, or keeping away from him a similar amount of evil, provided he does not ask for something sinful, or for breaking family ties (Tirmidhi).
Below are a number of Duas that you can make or use as a model to make your own set of supplications during these blessed days.
1. Oh Allah, please forgive me for all of the evil that I have done. You are so Merciful and kind, please forgive me, and help me stay away from all that’s wrong. It’s so hard for me, and I’m so weak but You are the Strong. Please increase me in sincerity.
2. Oh Allah, please make my family stronger on the path of struggle as You made the family of Ibraham(a.s.) stronger.
3. Oh Allah, help me and my family share Islam with our neighbors, co-workers and classmates in the best way, with wisdom and beautiful preaching. Let us become the means by which they gain a better understanding of Islam and accept this beautiful way of life.
4. Oh Allah, make me of Your sincere, humble and grateful servants the way Prophet Ibrahim(a.s.) was. And please remove all of my insincerity, arrogance and ungratefulness.
5. Oh Allah, save the people of Afghanistan, Palestine, Kashmir, Chechnya, the untouchables of India, Ethiopia, Somalia, Chiapas, Iraq, different parts of Africa and others from internal and external oppressors and give them justice. Protect us all from violence, fear and danger, You are our Protector.
6. Oh Allah, unite Muslims and all people of conscience to work together for the oppressed and the poor.

13. Oh Allah, open up a way for me to make Hajj as soon as possible, so that I can fulfill my obligation to You.
14. Oh Allah, please give me patience and help me control my anger for Your sake.
