The
superiority of the last ten nights of Ramadhaan and the first
ten days of Dhul-Hijjah
*Please appropriately
reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: Regarding the (first) ten (days
and nights) of Dhul-Hijjah and the (last) ten (days and nights)
of Ramadhaan, which of the two are superior?
Response:
The (first) ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are superior to the (last)
ten days of Ramadhaan and the last ten nights of Ramadhaan
are superior to the (first) ten nights of Dhul-Hijjah. As
for the (last) ten nights of Ramadhaan then they are the nights
of activity (worship), which the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) used to spend them all awake (in worship).
And within them is Laylatul-Qadr (the night of power) which
is better than a thousand months. So whoever responds with
other than this explanation then it is not possible he has
adduced with the correct proof.
