| Arabic | تشريق |
|---|---|
| Pronunciation | tash-REEQ |
| Etymology | From the Arabic root ش-ر-ق (sh-r-q), meaning 'to rise, to shine, to be radiant' — the same root that gives us sharq (east, where the sun rises) and shurooq (sunrise). The word tashreeq (تشريق) literally means 'the drying of meat in the sun.' This refers to the ancient practice of slicing and sun-drying the meat of the sacrificial animals during these days to preserve it. The connection to the rising/shining sun is direct: the meat was spread out and exposed to the sun's rays for preservation. Some scholars also connect it to the timing of the Eid সালাত, which is performed after sunrise (shurooq). |
Tashreeq(تشريق) Ayyam al-Tashreeq (Days of Tashreeq) are the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul Hijjah — the final days of the হজ্জ rites when হাজীগণ stay in মিনা and perform the daily stoning of the three জামারাত pillars.
تشريق
The Days of Tashreeq are the concluding chapter of the হজ্জ journey. After the intense spiritual climax of আরাফাত (9th) and the Day of Sacrifice (10th), the Tashreeq days are a period of continued worship, communal celebration, and the completion of the remaining rites. The কুরআন refers to them as 'appointed days' (ayyam ma'dudat): 'And remember Allah during the appointed days. Whoever hastens in two days, there is no sin on him, and whoever stays longer, there is no sin on him — for the one who has taqwa' (2:203). During each of the Tashreeq days, হাজীগণ perform rami (stoning) of all three জামারাত in sequence: Jamrat al-Ula (the smallest), Jamrat al-Wusta (the middle), and Jamrat al-Aqabah (the largest), throwing seven pebbles at each while saying 'Allahu Akbar.' After stoning the first and second pillars, it is Sunnah to step aside, face the Qiblah, and make extended dua. After the third pillar, the হাজী leaves without stopping for dua. The stoning must be performed after the sun passes its zenith (zawal), except on the 12th when many scholars permit earlier times due to the immense crowds. Pilgrims are required to spend the nights of the 11th and 12th in মিনা (staying the majority of the night, according to most scholars). A concession exists: those who wish to hasten may depart মিনা after stoning on the 12th, provided they leave before sunset. Those who remain for the 13th earn additional reward and complete the stoning one final time. নবী করীম Muhammad (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) described these as 'days of eating, drinking, and the remembrance of Allah' (Muslim). It is also during these days that Muslims worldwide (not just হাজীগণ) recite the Takbir al-Tashreeq after each ওয়াজিব সালাত: 'Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illallah, wallahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahil hamd.'
