Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has taught us things in which there is healing and a lessening of sickness such as reading al-Fatihah and making du`a.

1-The ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are among the great seasons of worship which Allah has favoured over other days. 2-So, the Muslim should start these days with sincere repentance to Allah, then he should do a lot of righteous deeds in general, then he should pay attention to doing the following deeds: observing fasting, reciting tahmid, tahlil and takbir, offering Hajj, ‘Umrah and Udhiyah. For more, see the detailed answer below.

• One of the most important things is to prepare for doing righteous deeds before the month of Ramadan. The scholars designated the month of Rajab as the start of the preparations for the month of Ramadan. • It is as if the year is a tree; its leaves begin to appear in the month of Rajab, its fruit begins to appear in the month of Sha`ban, and the people pick its fruit during the month of Ramadan. • So the individual should prepare himself by doing righteous deeds in Rajab, and pay extra attention to making them perfect in Sha`ban, so that he will be able to do them in a perfect manner in Ramadan.

The month of Allah, al-Muharram, is a great and blessed month. It is the first month of the Hijri year and is one of the sacred months.
