pilgrimage. See commentary of Baqarah: 196, 197 and 124 to 130 . The Holy Prophet said thatfasting, giving alms and doing good deeds in these days earn special rewards from the grace ofAllah.SomecommentatorssaythatitmayrefertothefirsttendatesofMuharrambecauseonthetenthof

analysis this expression may refer to all things. Both abstract and concrete things are oftenunderstood in contrastwith their opposites.
