The first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are here. These are the most virtuous days of the year, in which Allah (swt) has blessed his Ummah with opportunities to multiply their rewards through His infinite mercy. The Prophet (saw) said, ‘There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than in these (ten) days’. [Abu Dawud]
Here are some things to do on the first 10 days: 
* Fast the day of Arafah (9th Dhul Hijjah) 
* Fast the first 9 days of Dhul Hijjah (if you are not performing the Hajj) 
* Make thikr: Tahleel (La ilah ill-Allah), Takbeer (Allahu Akbar), and Tahmeed (Alhamdulillah). 
* Make Istaghfar * Recite Quran * Make dua (with increased dua on day of Arafah) 
* Pray Tahajjud and other voluntary prayers. * If you are going to do the Udhiya/Qurbani, consider not clipping your nails or hair. 
* Give charity. 


It was narrated from Umm Salamah (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever among you sees the new crescent of Dhul-Hijjah and wants to offer a sacrifice, let him not take anything from his hair or nails.” (Sunan Ibn Majah, Book 26, Hadith 3270)
