Allah swears an oath by them, and swearing an oath by
something is indicative of its importance and great benefit.

Allaah says that which translates to:

"By the dawn; and by the ten nights" (Al-Fajr: 1-2).

The Prophet (Pbuh) 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 replied: "Not even jihad in the path of Allah, except for the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause - and returned with nothing." (Bukhaari). 

It has been said that the 10days of Zhul-Hijjah , takes such superiority over the rest of the days,because all the pillars of Islam & hence all the good deeds are gathered on those blessed days.

Among the best of deeds that a person can perform is fasting!

Fasting during these days-as many of them as may be easy for one to fast-especially the Day of `Arafah. There is no doubt that the act of fasting is one of the best deeds, and it is from what Allah, the Most High, has chosen for Himself, as in the hadith qudsi: “Fasting is for Me, and it is I who give reward for it. Verily, someone gives up his sexual passion, his food and his drink for My sake...”
(Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Malik, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa’i and Ibn Majah)

Fasting the day of 'Arafah is a supererogatory act. The Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) has urged people to fast this day. Abu Qataadah may Allaah be pleased with him narrated that the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) was asked about observing the fast on the day of 'Arafah, he replied: “'Arafah's fasting removes the sins of two years: the last and the coming year.” [Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawood, aI-Nasaa'e and Ibn Maajah]

Fasting the day of 'Arafah is not obligatory!

And is Only for those who are not performing Hajj.

Abu Hurairah, (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates that the Prophet, (peace and blessings be upon him), “Forbade fasting on the day of `Arafah for one who is actually at `Arafah." (Ahmad, Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah)

Among also the great deeds is to increase in making takbeer (saying Allaahu akbar),tahleel (saying Laailaaha illallaah) and tahmeed (saying Alhamdulillaah)during these days.

The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam commanded us to abundantly pronounce Tasbeeh (‘Subhan-Allaah’), Tahmeed (‘Al-hamdu Lillaah’) and Takbeer (‘Allaahu akbar’) during this time. ‘Abdullaah ibn ‘Umar , may Allaah be pleased with him and his father, reported that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: "There are no days greater in the sight of Allaah and in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Him than these ten days, so during this time recite a great deal of Tahleel ("La ilaaha ill-Allaah") , Takbeer and Tahmeed." (Reported by Ahmad).

For those who want to grab the,,

GOLDEN FORGIVENESS OFFER!!!

The Day Of Arafah is on...

The Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said, “The best supplication is that of (the day of) ‘Arafah, and the best word that I and all Prophets have said on the day of ‘Arafah is, ‘Laa ilaaha illallaah wahdahu laa shareeka lahu lahul-mulk walahul hamd, wahuwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in qadeer’ (None has the right to be worshipped but Allaah alone, Who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things).” (Tirmidhi)

“Until the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand has spent / give.”

“Whoever gives relief to a Muslim from one of the vicissitudes of this life, Allah will relieve him from a calamity that is from doing the calamities of the Day of Judgment.”
