When we look at the history of Islam, we see that many notable events took place in this month such as the second Bai‘at at Aqabah, Ghazwah of Sawiq, the marriage of Hazrat Fatimah^ra, the Holy Prophet’s^sa letter inviting Caesar to Islam, Bai‘at-e-Ridwan, Sulah-e-Hudaibiya, etc. Further, we read that the Din, the religion of Islam was made complete during these days. The famous verse of the Holy Quran:

اَلۡيَوۡمَ اَکۡمَلۡتُ لَکُمۡ دِيۡنَکُمۡ وَاَتۡمَمۡتُ عَلَيۡکُمۡ نِعۡمَتِيۡ وَرَضِيۡتُ لَکُمُ الۡاِسۡلَامَ دِيۡنًا

“This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favour upon you and have chosen for you Islam as religion.” (Surah al-Ma’idah, Ch.5: V.4)

Thus, we find in a hadith narration that the Jews remarked to Hazrat Umar^ra: “You Muslims recite a verse, and had it been revealed to us, we would have designated the day of its revelation as a day of celebration.” Hazrat^ra responded: “I am well aware of the precise time and location of its revelation, as well as where Allah’s Messenger^sa was at that moment. It was revealed on the day of Arafat (the Hajj Day), and indeed, I was present at Arafat.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab at-tafsir, Hadith 4606).

We also read that the Holy Prophet^sa came to Mecca on the morning of the fourth of Dhul-Hijjah. (Sunan an-Nasa’i, Kitab manasiki l-Hajj, Hadith 2872; Sunan Ibn Majah, Kitab iqamati wa s-sunnah, Hadith 1074).
